You can hide any or all of the Modules on the Site by clicking the "-" icon on the left panel above the Main Menu. Clicking the "+" will expand them all again. You can also click on the name of any of the Modules to hide just them! So if you don't need to see the Syndicate or (gasp!) the Donation Modules for example, just click on their Title, it is usually in Gold and will appear as a link now! This will work for most items in the Tabs as well, but why do that when ya can just click the same Tab twice to hide them? | Sympathetic Resonance |

 Feel a storm coming on? Let’s look deeper… We are born into this life with a certain set of weaknesses to overcome and a certain set of strengths to acquire. The circumstances of our lives are such to teach us about these qualities within ourselves. Therefore, we can’t always control circumstances, because we, ourselves, agreed upon them for our experience long before we came into this life. People are always trying to feel good by controlling circumstances. We get together in great factions to try to influence others with our numbers, to try to persuade others to our point of view. However, all the while we’re doing this we’re bucking the current of Source energy by taking all of that action instead of going with the flow. I don’t mean that we have to say that the others are ‘right’. I just mean that those who try to control the behavior of others so that they can feel good - are using these others as the excuse to feel bad. They then find themselves thinking negative thoughts which leave them tensed up and feeling bad. How is this showing up in YOUR life? In MY life, my husband and I are in the process of separating. Of course, it's an emotional experience, and I have certainly been exploring my feelings during this influence of Cancer. Even though I practice meditation everyday, my blood pressure shot through the roof, I was having splitting headaches, was so dizzy I'd have to hang on to something or lie down. I soon realized that if I didn't get my feelings under control, I'd soon have a new problem that would put me in the hospital, and I could even die. Well, of course, I'm not ready to "go" just yet, so this "wake up call" made me realize that I'd better do something. I decided to think about this whole thing in a different way by playing one of my favorite games: "What do I like about this?" In doing so, I realized that the only thing I had ever asked of him was to Be Happy, to figure out where his bliss led him, and follow that path as it unfolds. The more he did so, however, the more I saw that it was taking him away from me. How curious, I thought. But, he was changing in a good way, becoming more confident, happy, and determined. He has a new goal, and I could see Source Energy flowing through him because of the way he looks and acts. This, I like. I can see that this new path is good for him, and because things are just "falling into place" for this new direction, I know it is "meant to be". How can I NOT like that?!! For him, this is a good thing, and when I think about THAT, I'm happy. Everything happens for a good reason. I know that farther down the road something brighter and shinier will be there for me. But, before something new can be built, the old must be torn down and taken away to make way for the new. I know I'm still on the way to something good. I'm just having to go through the disorientation of reconstruction going on to deal with before the new will be ready for me. There! That feels better! Since that realization, my blood pressure has returned to normal limits. I no longer have headaches, and I find myself even enjoying helping him with his plans to move, and helping him get the things he'll need. We've been having some great talks, and now I think we'll always be friends... maybe even better friends. Today, I can truly celebrate a personal INDEPENDENCE DAY!
~ Misty-Eve*  You are a creator; you create with your every thought. You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted. Your FEELINGS will tell you if you are creating what you WANT or what you DON'T WANT. ~ Abraham-Hicks Where is YOUR attention focused? Are you thinking about what you Don’t like, and Don’t want, and Don’t prefer? OR are you thinking instead about what you’d rather have, what you Do Want, and what you Do prefer? Cancer is the month of FEELINGS - quite an emotional month. It stretches our mental capabilities until we are more able to withstand greater emotional storms. During this influence, we are learning to trust our FEELINGS more as we see how they ride on the back of our sympathy and concern for others. When people's feelings become known, however, things can become very dramatic. This gift of sympathetically feeling another’s joy and pain takes a special strength to handle while being sensitive to their needs for privacy. Hold on to your hats! We're in for an emotional ride this month as we examine our feelings! The good news is… “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” ~ Wayne Dyer Feelings are vibrations. All vibrations attract similar frequencies. Therefore, whatever feelings you put out there into the Universe will vibrate and cause sympathetic vibrations to return to you. In other words, you attract into your life a similar energy to that which you are vibrating. So, I must ask myself... do I want these feelings coming back to me? How can I change the way I'm perceiving this experience so I have the best possible vibrations on their way back to me? If the vibration of your thought energy acts like a powerful electro-magnet resonating with and attracting similar frequencies into your life, then what are you attracting as a result of the Feelings YOU are dwelling upon? It’s worth thinking about… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REINVENTING THE PAST Healing Your Inner Child As we tread our individual pathways in life, we acquire emotional baggage. Some of it is easy to recognize but some, the baggage picked up when we were very young, is often hidden deep within the subconscious. The inner child or child within can harbor decades of old hurt that can cause you to react to situations and people using childhood pain as a context. This means that sometimes your reactions have less to do with the situation at hand, and more to do with things you experienced long ago but have not forgotten. The inner child is an important piece of your emotional makeup. It can be playful, spontaneous, intuitive, and spiritual, but can also be fearful, distrustful, and critical. Painful childhood experiences can negatively affect the adult experience. Healing the inner child addresses your child-self's wounds and frees your adult-self to make decisions based on the present. There are steps you can take to gently begin healing your inner child. Working with your inner child is very much like solving a mystery, and the first step to unlocking that mystery is analyzing your own behavior. Ask yourself why you are attracted to certain people, why you react the way you do in particular situations, and what makes you feel helpless, scared, angry, or lonely. As you do so, remember that there is nothing wrong with your feelings and that there is no shame in being influenced by your inner child. Ask yourself how those feelings have been influenced by past experiences. Then mentally revisit your childhood. Visualize yourself as a child. Feel what your child-self is feeling. Finally, approach him or her and offer comfort in the form of a hug infused with positive, loving energy. In doing so, you are both healing and letting go of the wounded child's pain. Attempting to discount the fact that the inner child has an effect on the adult denies the impact of old wounds and past experiences. Acknowledging the inner child honors your past self and can help you recover painful memories that have been repressed. But recalling specific memories isn't vital to healing the inner child. It is enough to be aware that you can change the way you unconsciously learned to react in your youth by nurturing your inner child and, in doing so, foster a loving and wise present-self. © Reproductions Permitted http://www.DailyOM.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SYMPATHY: QUOTES OF THE DAY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “The ability to imagine what you are wanting, rather than only observing what-is, is what takes you beyond. “The Law of Attraction tells us that which is like unto itself is drawn. The Universe does not know if the vibration you are offering is because of what you are observing or visualizing. In either case, the Universe is matching it with things like it. So your work is to deliberately offer thought vibrations that are a Vibrational Match to what you want. The key for most of you will be to play up your visualizations and play down your observations. “We would begin saying, "I'm not ever going to get it done. I'm an eternally expanding Being, and I'm doing great where I am, and I'm so eager about what's coming." That's the essence of the vibration that keeps adventurous things coming, keeps you feeling always excited, stable and secure, keeps you feeling in love with life. All day, every day, count your blessings! All day, every day, make your lists of things you appreciate. And as you keep activating what is working in your life, then more pleasing things on all subjects will flow to you.” ~ Abraham-Hicks “Be still and know. Anyone can verbally attack another. Anyone can be a smart aleck. Anyone can be angry and tell other people things that will hurt them. Anyone can be sarcastic, devaluating and belittling. It takes a Warrior to be silent. Silence is so powerful. The Silence can be so loving. “The most important habit one can develop is the daily act of entering the Silence to pray. Prayer is our eyes, our ears, our feelings, our success, our guidance, our life, our duty, our goal. There really is only prayer and meditation. We can only help others through prayer. We can only help ourselves through prayer. You can never become an Elder unless you pray. You can never stay an Elder unless you pray. You never get wisdom unless you pray. You never understand unless you pray.” ~ Don Coyhis, Mohawk “Silence is the cornerstone of character.” ~ Charles Alexander Eastman, Ohiyesa Santee Sioux “The secrets of life are not shown except to sympathy and likeness.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Representative Men — Montaigne” “We pity in others only those evils which we ourselves have experienced.” ~ Jean Jacques Rousseau “Our souls sit close and silently within, And their own web from their own entrails spin; And when eyes meet far off, our sense is such, That, spider like, we feel the tenderest touch.” ~ John Dryden, “Mariage a la Mode” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE EYES OF THE SOUL Martia Nelson tells us this story in her book, ‘Coming Home’: My greatest teacher was the experience of living in split realities: personality and true self. * Personality is our daily companion, our conscious self that sees the world through the eyes of limitation and dutifully keeps us informed about what we can and cannot do. * True self, on the other hand, patiently stands by, offering the unwavering knowledge that a state of vibrant well-being and unlimited possibility is our true nature, a birthright that can be lived if we choose to do so. … * True self simply refers to the aspect of our being that is completely aware of its expanded nature no matter what we may be experiencing at the time. Whenever we feel constrained, fearful, unworthy, inadequate or anything we deem to be negative, we have identified with our personality. We can always choose to view the same situation from the perspective of our soul or true self. "As a Witness, you begin to discover that you are not that which you have been observing; you are not those things that you have been noticing about your body. Instead, you are the Noticer.” ~ Wayne Dyer © Reproductions Permitted http:www.thedailyguru.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CANCER: “I FEEL” 2nd Decan Influence: "SYMPATHY" July 2nd – July 12st The second of July this year heralds the entrance to the Second Decan of Cancer. This period teaches us more about Cancer’s "feeling" with Sympathy. This is something more than feeling, however; it is feeling together. It follows on the heels of Intuition because it is an intuitive knowing with regard to other people. The derivation of the word tells us this. It is derived from the root "sym" which means together; and from "path" which is feeling or suffering. Hence "Sympath", feeling together. Sympathy is the sharing of another person's mental or emotional state, and that too is appropriate to Cancer. This gift of sympathetically feeling another’s joy and pain takes a special strength to handle while being sensitive to their needs for privacy. When people's feelings become known, things can become very dramatic. Watch others and search within for your feelings of sympathy. This can be a good time for getting feelings together with the Brothers and Sisters and learn a Cancer lesson doing so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more on the lessons of CANCER see: http://druidcraft.us/astrology.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
