Daily Dose - Oct 23, 2013 - Woden'sDay/Mercury/Thoth - Mercury Retro, Scorpio, Tantra & Tao.

Hey ah! How's every body's Mercury Retrograde been so far? It's only been three days, but it feels like it's been much longer to me. That might have something to do with the fact that it's retrograde in Scorpio, and My Sun sign and ascendant is Scorpio AND both Mercury and Pluto are in Scorpio in my natal chart. Yea.

Anyway, it's definitely been deep and I enjoy that (^ as you may be able to tell). I've also been in a creative current for a bit, and I am happy to say that all is good and well :). Here's your Dose ;).

• If it's not spontaneous it's not Spirit.
• All you need to do is breathe easily. The breath will bring awareness to your actions. From here, all that remains is to enjoy. The breath itself focuses, it is Brahma giving us life every moment. We are uneasy only when we resist. Simply allow the breath to come and go. The next step is to enjoy it, and appreciate it. Like this, there will be joy and gratitude in all that you do and there is no resistance at all, there is only enjoyment. The Pranic river of being can flow into you and your life unrestricted and free. This is Yoga. This is Zen. This is Tantra. This is Tao.
• If you want to be fulfilled and productive drop anything you "should" do. Then, just do.

"When a superior man hears of the Tao,

he immediately begins to embody it.

When an average man hears of the Tao,

he half believes it, half doubts it.

When a foolish man hears of the Tao,

he laughs out loud.

If he didn't laugh,

it wouldn't be the Tao.

Thus it is said:

The path into light seems dark,

the path forward seems to go back,

the direct path seems long,

true power seems weak,

true purity seems tarnished,

true steadfastness seems changeable,

true clarity seems obcsure,

the greatest art seems unsophisticated,

the greatest love seems indifferent,

the greatest wisdom seems childish.

The Tao is nowhere to be found.

Yet it nourishes and completes all things."

- 41, Tao Te Ching, Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Daily Dose - Oct 4, 2013 - Friday/Venus/Libra/Hathor ~ New Moon in Libra!

I've been revisiting a lot of  my old writings (and emotions!) the last few days, which seems to be very fitting for this New Moon we're experiencing. I wish a smooth, balanced and liberating new moon to all of you, and hope you find today's dose both appropriate and supportive for this transition! Bless

• The more I choose to feel gratitude, the more there is in my life to be grateful for.
  
  The world of abundance exists through the doors of Peace.
  The key that opens those doors is Gratitude.
  
  Only when we are grateful for all our experience, for all of life just the way it is - only then do we open ourselves, our life, and our very consciousness to change - only then do we gracefully accept, embrace and create transformation.
  
  -Miguel Antonio

• When we learn to breathe efficiently and correctly, then all we do in life will be done efficiently and correctly.
  
  Breath is the constant within all our activities and spectrum of life and thought.
  
  When we can breathe with gratitude always and deliberately, then all actions are done in thanks and joy, bearing the fruits of peace and a constantly beautiful experience.
  
  Life becomes and endless stream of miracles.
  
  -Miguel Antonio
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Whoever is planted in the Tao
  will not be rooted up.
  Whoever embraces the Tao
  will not slip away.
  Her name will be held in honor from generation to generation.
  
  
  Let the Tao be present in your life
  and you will become genuine.
  Let it be present in your family
  and your family will flourish.
  Let it be present in your country
  and your country will be an example
  to all countries in the world.
  Let it be present in the universe
  and the universe will sing.
  
  
  How do I know this is true?
  By looking inside myself.
