Hello Everyone!

Has it been a hoot or what? The craziness seems out of control even if you ignore it. Well, well. What’s a good-intentioned and spiritually-oriented person to do? What do YOU think? Some great material here for reflection. Maybe, 10 - 15 minute sessions for a few days over the next week. Really! The idea centers on bringing your heart-energy and focus onto the present stream of world consciousness (or, lack thereof).

When you tune into this vibe, the earth (Mother Earth, Gaia, our very alive and caring foundation) will open doors (portals) to higher spaces for you to explore. With such choice access to upstairs, you may well link up with like-minded beings (they do exist and zip about, even down here in the mud and gloom). If not, at the least, you can profitably go sailing or snow boarding or surfing or trekking along the riotous energy streams now pulsing and swirling easily within arms reach of any able meditator. For real, you’ve got the windows scrubbed clean and a view into the upper realms that sparkles and shines nonstop.

So, this is your homework. Recommended, of course. You can do what you like—since you will anyway. Just put yourself between Mother Earth and Father Heaven and feel deeply that you belong: you link the two realms. That’s your job so gracefully accept it and listen for what your teachers and the inner plane have to share with you. A lot of opportunity for the next few months!

Here’s the view from Neidan Yoga and team: in Hindu thought, agni (fire) represents a specific frequency band of prana (qi, lung, quantum-level energy). The two main players in our solar system related to agni, Surya (the Sun) and Mangala (Mars), have finally strolled back out of the doghouse and into a much richer, more vibrant and wildly more powerful field of possibilities. In Vedic astrology they’ve arrived into Vrishchika (Scorpio) and this bodes well for all those sitting on the good side of the fence.

Now, Scorpio is tricky business but essentially stands for the astral realm (the next world or level up from material life here on earth). Because of such a certain correspondence, this rashi (sign) can manifest as chronic situations that resist change. Or, the sign can usher in true, deep and lasting changes. Two very different outcomes. How do you decide? Either can happen. Sometimes both strut their stuff and manifest. Scorpio can be mysterious, hidden and seemingly unknowable. Yet, as with all celestial energies, you cast a significant, if not deciding, vote on how the cards play out.

The takeaway message? Alternative perspectives, especially those linked to health or a more holistic view, blossom and flourish for the next couple of months—especially through mid-December. After that, the energies dive even deeper into the cosmic fabric so access opens to yet more eventful possibilities. The key though lies with you: center your focus on third chakra themes—health, power, creativity, self-actualization, enterprise. These all relate to agni (the element of fire in Vedic astrology) and enjoy extra oomph and dynamic capacity now: you get something of a free ride. But only if you jump onboard with the right positive attitude and wholesome focus. Hoorah for the welcome change!
