Struck by Neptune's Rainbow Waters

I've been struck by Neptune's Rainbow Waters!! The magical liquid called 'TEARS'!

This morning I woke up from an emotionally touching dream. I quickly jotted down my symbols in my pad sitting on my bed. As I prepared my son for school and for my day, the tears began to well up and stream down my face. I was feeling a movement in my heart area, a sensation took over me. I'll call it LOVE. No clear conscious reason, I was simply present. I was feeling and it was illusive, yet very clear.

In our society, men in particular have been taught not to cry, to put a brave face on things when they get hurt and not show that they are in pain. But wombmyb can fall into this trap too, and all of us at one time or another might feel that the only way to survive is to close off our feelings and emotions so we can't be hurt again. If our pain is particularly deep, we might even try to hide it from our selves. This can make us frozen, rigid, because deep down we know that one small break in the ice will free the hurt to start circulating through us again. Yet this is why we create experiences like love affairs that go sour to shatter the walls we construct around our hearts. It's no heartbreak in the sense we've been taught. It's the walls crumbling, the space expanding so the heart can continue to grow and glow.

The rainbow-colored tears on the image above holds the key to breaking out of this 'ice-olation'. The tears, and only the tears, have the power to melt the ice around our hearts. It's okay to cry, and there is no reason to feel ashamed of your tears. Crying helps us to let go of pain, allows us to be gentle with ourselves, and finally helps us to heal.

We are miserable because we are too much in the SELF. What does it mean when I say we are too much in the self? And exactly what happens when we are too much in the self? Either you can be in existence or you can be in the self -both are not possible together. To be in the self means to be apart, to be separate. To be in the self means to be an island. To be in the self means to draw a boundary line around you. To be in the self means to make a distinction between 'this I am' and 'that I am not'. The definition, the boundary, between 'I' and 'not I' is what the self is - the self isolates. And it makes you frozen - you are no longer flowing. If you are flowing self cannot exist.

But Neptune says stop the madness! There's no you and I, no over there and here; no up, no down. We are ONE! And I'll wrap you in my fog so that you can come to know that. In the fog you can't see, therefore you have to rely on your sensing to move through. You have to trust a power greater than your physical self. Her retrograde motion is slowing us down to help us remove the boundaries, the lines, the 'I', the 'You'. And I am feeling the compassion grow in me. My dream last night magically touched down on my 2nd house in which my natal Neptune lives and it also featured my 5th house in which Neptune is currently transiting. Symbols of value, money and then children, romance, a lover were all highlighted! Neptune is so damn amazing! She's not playing with me or is she really? I've struggled with my 2nd house Neptune. And Astrologer Tracy Marks describes it so well with Neptune images that give life to and words to how I am when it comes to money, my possessions, my values:



AN UNEMPLOYED ANGEL - That's me! And "Angel" happens to be my nickname since I was a baby. But the universe has always divinely and magically provided everything I need including a beautiful family, a home Temple and all else... as I have no problem sharing and giving for nothing in return. Can't deny that I am blessed!!

A SURFER'S SOGGY CHECKBOOK: LOL!! Talk about confusion around money. I'll go to the back to make a cash deposit and hold up the line counting my money over and over in a pink smoke. But the goddess dollars I DO believe in and now use more than ever. Currencies that hold the face, the energy and exchanged with the hands of wombmyn who are serving the divine feminine rather than the masculine image and face of dead presidents.

AN ENTREPRENEURIAL LAMB - I am just that. I am not aggressive in trying to sell anything to anyone, I attract rather than pursue. I never get caught up in the rat race or competition. They come to me. Every write up or feature by major media entities came to me. They found me. I didn't go looking for them. ABCNews called me. The New York Times called me and so did the Washington Post and all others that featured me. I didn't go knocking on their doors. Why? Because I am feminine, receptive and gentle as a lamb, confident in my skills, gifts and healing powers. I've changed countless lives and help heal many more behind the scenes.

A SHOPPING CENTER ENVELOPED BY FOG - Goddess knows I hate going to the mall, I get confused and overwhelmed, and am way too sensitive to deal with crowds. I rather shop online or at a small, personable boutique or vintage store.

A UNICORN IN A DEPARTMENT STORE - Your guess is just as good as mine on this one. Standing out? Out of place? Evoking wonder and awe striking? Attracting more customers? LOL What do you get from this Neptune image? Tell me.

A SAVINGS OF HOPES & DREAMS - hehehe.... difficulty saving money as the Neptunian waters wash it away just as quickly as the tides bring money in. But this is my personal path and instead of resisting it, astrology has helped me embrace it and work with it. I trust that I can cash in my HOPES & DREAMS whenever I need to. They are like saving bonds. I can sell many of my creative ideas that are in abundance. Most of which I've simply given away.

I am grateful for this NEPTUNE transit and that of VENUS. It actually feels very familiar since my life path is summed up by the energies of my natal SATURN in PISCES - the sign ruled by Neptune. I'm a dreamer, says Neptune. But I'm a practical dreamer, says father Saturn.

When I cry, it melts the walls around my heart and it softens every fiber of my physical being. I am rinsed, cleansed and whole again, opening the portal for the abundance and love to flow in and for the presence of my Angels to be felt strongly again.

Would you like to learn about your Neptune or have a Goddess Love Reading? Send me an email - ecosensualliving at gmail dot com. I'll be happy to open the doors to your own Neptune world... maybe - like me - you'll just start crying to be healed again!

10 Ways to Navigate the Cosmic Waters of Neptune!!

Poeticbeauty.co.uk
Neptune is an elusive, subtle planet of transformation which dissolves attitudes and behavior patterns of the past as it transits planets in our individual charts. Neptune is one of the most difficult planetary influences to handle. It causes life to become confusing and unclear, and under its influence people often believe what is not true. At the same time, it also has an ego-denying influence, which may make you feel discouraged, futile, undeserving and unworthy, or it can lead you to perform great acts of selflessness and self-martyrdom, says Astrologer Robert Hand.

Neptune is the higher octave and mother of Venus - the planet of love and beauty. She represents unconditional love and ecstasy. She's currently sitting on my natal Saturn in the 5th house which highlights self-expression, romantic relationships, sex & children, making me seek a sexual union that is a spiritual one. Have no fear she" says, your wish is my command! As well, she's stimulating my artistic creativity and drawing me to be with the healing waters of the earth while reminding me of my own oceanic and home birth at the edge of the Atlanta Ocean.

With that established, we are all going to need help navigating her cosmic waters and moving through her pink smoke during this transit. So here are 10 tools to help us during this retrograde transit that began June 4th, 2012 and goes direct in Pisces on November 11th, 2012.



1. Think - HIGHER LOVE! In fact, sing the words to Steve Winword's "Higher Love" to remind you. If you don't have the song, check out Youtube or the music sites.

2. Be in the fog. Don't fight it. While in the fog, become the fog. Imagine your body as fog, feel the amazing dissipation and melting of your physical body. For a time, we are not likely to be able to operate clearly or productively in the old ways in which we expressed this planet. Neptune will be eroding this old expression, withdrawing energy from it and using that energy to prepare us subconsciously for new means of expression. Trust your subconscious and give it time to prepare for the next stage in your development. As Tracy Marks says, "We need to understand fully that we are in a time of transition, vacationing upon an island in the midst of Neptunian waters, as our energy is being reprocessed to prepare for a future period of greater fulfillment where Neptune is dominant in our lives.

3. Clear the waters of your body. Nurturing and unblocking our bodies is very important. The womb and the male sexual organs need replenishment. Drink plenty of water. Add lemon to give it a citrus boost for a deeper cleansing effect. The womb is the most acidic part of a woman's body. Lemon water will keep it balanced. A sensual or therapeutic massage can help the waters of the body flowing smoothly. Our minds become clouded when we spend too much time in mental realms due to physical blockages. When the waters of our body are clear and flowing, our emotions are able to do likewise.

4. Swim! Visit the beach or other bodies of running waters. And definitely take healing baths in the comfort of your home and with others. I highly recommend, Spiritual Bathing: Healing Rituals and Traditions from Around the World, by Rosita Arvigo and Nadine Epstein. Another suggestion is to take color baths. Use natural food coloring to create colors such as blue which is Neptunian and oceanic or make it green for healing the heart chakra. And don't forget the kids, they will love it and look forward to taking their baths.

5. Practice forgiving yourself and developing self-compassion. This is the springboard for forgiving others. Begin with self. Neptune is the higher vibration of love and compassion. In her heart opening state, the pains and sensitivities of the past can wash over us, transcend our desires and needs taking us into a blissful state of inner peace and oneness with all.



6. Anchor yourself in your womb-heart. Shift out of the mind and into the space in which your womb and heart envelops and where water and fire meet. It's much easier for men to be in their sexual center, so here's a little push for the wombmyn who struggle. After all, the mind can easily deceive and trick you. During this Neptune transit it is more prone to playing tricks on you. The heart, however, will never lie or deceive you. Learn how to listen to and understand its language.

7. Fill your life with Music! Listen to music that stimulates your heart chakra. Soft, soothing, meditation music puts you in touch with your feelings. Massage your heart with music, let it move you into a trance. Choose the tunes that awaken your heart, arouses your sensuality and transports you. Let your intuitive wisdom come alive!

8. Take naps! Go to bed early. Dream! Neptune is about the sleep world where our subconscious self travels to dimensions outside the earthly realm. Sleep helps mend the threads of our soul. Pay more attention to your dreams and what they say, the stories they tell you, the answers they give about you and your life. A great place to begin making your dreams come true. Record your dreams. Keep a sleep journal right next to your bed.

9. Awaken your creativity! Regain contact with your inner child. Spontaneity, playfulness and creativity is possessed by this part of ourselves; it's the pathway to awakening to who we truly are. Dance, painting, poetry, photography are effective means of centering and channeling the energies of a Neptune transit, as well as experiencing the more celestial realms of the spirit of this planet.

10. Meditate! The inner realm and abstract dimensions are our sources of inspiration. Neptune dissolves all forms and structures and take you into the center of your being to discover the capabilities and power of our intuition and inner guidance. Only if you allow her to!

NEPTUNE is the eighth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It has 13 moons, the largest of which is named Triton. The other moons are: Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Neso, and Psamathe.

Eco-Sensual Living: The Spirit of Tea Time!

I am a long time, passionate tea drinker! Matters not the weather outside but more so the leaves of the earth that are inside. I drink tea for a few good reasons and during special moments:

1) it is a part of my daily eco-sensual morning ritual
2) it puts me in a meditative state of mind and slows me down
3) it enhances my journaling or creative writing moments
4) I love sitting and sipping tea with friends - its always on the menu when you visit the temple
5) I drink it for the medicinal power and purpose.

I energize my teas with solar power - Sun kissing my herbal infusions and giving it a powerful boost!
I buy my herbs (organic preferred) in bulk and create my own mixtures.

(L-R)
Jar # 1 - Red Raspberry Leaves - an astringent and general toner & strengthener of the uterus, helps relieve cramps from fibroids.

Jars # 2 & 3 - BLESSED THISTLE - a “bitter” that aids digestion and works on a congested liver. It increases breast milk and is an emotional ally to uplift spirits

BURDOCK ROOT - blood purifier, increasing circulation to the skin, helping to detoxify the epidermal tissues, it produces a diuretic effect on the body which aids the filtering of impurities from the bloodstream. By promoting perspiration, Burdock Root eliminates toxins through the skin. It is also known for inhibiting and slowing cancerous tumors.

YELLOW DOCK ROOT - increases iron levels and tones the intestinal lining and slows bleeding; a blood purifier, supports bladder, kidney, and liver function, great for bowel health.

DANDELION ROOT - excess phlegm can promote tumors. DR helps prevent cancer by breaking up phlegm and eliminating it from the system; improves kidney function, is an antidiabetic and contains phytochemicals with antifatigue activity.

INFUSING your HERBS is best! I place them outside in the sun before noon and let them sit there until the sun begins to melt and cool off. Then they are READY to do their magic!!

I AM COMMITED

I am committed to take more life in today; through deeper breaths I expand my heart, my chest and my lungs with the essence of life and with each exhale I give back life to the universe.

I am committed to LOVE today. To love myself and others unconditionally, to eco-consciously experience what that is like, to catch myself as I begin to fall into moments of non-loving and to laugh at myself while I switch back to the channel of loving again.

I am committed to fueling my creative fire and to keeping the waters of my womb flowing while allowing my sexual needs and desires to not go unnoticed. I'll know its a call from within and I'll take the time to listen and follow through.

I am committed to eco-sensually experiencing my body today - taking moments to remember where I live - making sure I discern what I let in and not forgetting to dispose of the waste that I took in.

I am committed to being with my feelings and accepting my emotions as friends. I will cry when I need to, laugh, be angry, be protective and fierce or even sad and vulnerable when its called for. I don't have to hold back my emotions like a dam, I can my feelings flow.

I am committed to participating in nature's theater, to moving with the dramatic moments while being one with its wonderful times. I walk upon the stage of life playing the role called for in any given moment; to have dialogues with the trees, roll around in the grass and take in the cues and signals nature whispers to me. I'll wave back to the leaves that wave to me, and whistle back to the bird that perches on the branch in front on me. As I walk the earth today, I'll know that she holds me up and never lets me down, she is both my home and the playground I carry in that secret space within the crystal cavern of my heart!

LOVERS MEDITATION - Love Without The Limits!

Golden sunrise moments with my lover melts my heart from the flames of fire aroused in the midst of this sweet morning's arrival. Spending at least 15 minutes with my lover on the back deck, doing a couple of partner yoga poses, breathing into each other's heart, through the union of our hands is the pill I look forward to popping. Taking a soul journey through the eyes of each other, his parting draws mine his with a magnetic draw as I looked into his eye to see a vision of his soul. What we both feel is indescribable; our lights glow brighter the longer we stare, growing and glowing engulfing us with its warm tingling sensations and what felt like a ball of soft, gentle,fluffy, cushiony light.

Nature's orchestra plays in the background with birds chirping and wagging their wing tails, grasshoppers skipping, worms wiggling, bugs bugging, squirrels rocking their waists to the tunes and the melodic notes that emit from the heart of earth's awakening womb. As we breathe, she takes away that which we no longer need. As as we exhale we give to her some of the life she's graciously breaths into us. It's an exchange with her and its a sensual exchange between my lover and I.

These are priceless moments no one, and I mean absolutely nothing, can take away from us. For 15 minutes no technology exists, no expectations, no interference from the busy humans - it's just he and I - the vibes of nature flowing through is feeding and tuning us up for a brand new day. Then we sit and sip our morning infused teas. He drinks mullein and I drink red raspberry leaves. We are totally bundled up, eco-sensual lovers in these precious timeless moments that holds something beautiful and healing within in; a new day awaits us and gives us a promise of love... without the limits!!

What's Love Got To Do With It?

Your VENUS can tell on YOU!

VENUS is the banner you wear that attracts your perfect partner or heart-soul mate! My Venus in Sag banner says... ADVENTUROUS! I love with a spirit of freedom, cultural diversity (its nice if he comes with an accent & speaks 2 or more languages), earth spirited and sporty fun and with a need to expand through my relations, otherwise, like a sunless flower I wither and soon die. What does yours say? We each have a specific set of cue cards for the individual or peopl...e we're going to be comfortable with. She is your innate goddess-given power to attract exactly who and what you want. Simple? Well, not really! If it was that simple many more wombmyn would have HAPPINESS - Venus's goal! Knowing and understanding the symbolic and spiritual meaning of your VENUS will take you to your happiness.

Do you understand the difference between attractive (good-looking) and being attract-ive (able to attract). Understanding your attract-ive power goes way beyond the promise of romance, your adornments or sexy shoes and into the realm of spiritual connection and transcendent heart-soul mate love. Understanding how to think with your VENUS elevates your attract-ive powers to a whole new level of sensual expression.

When the things, people, and ways we naturally love and enjoy are shamed, distorted, or one-dimensional, the same goddess that leads us by the hand to love also leads us to confusion. No wonder so many women are baffled about the real source of their attract-ive powers.

Astrology continues to teach me that Venus is not just about surface beauty but she is also about SOUL beauty, enjoyment and pleasure. The more you know what makes you truly and organically happy, the more magnetically receptive you become! My personal VENUS in Sagittarius helped me answer these questions:

What do you enjoy?
What makes life worth living?
What turns you off and on?
What give you wild, orgasmic unlimited pleasure?
What gets you in the mood?
What curls you toes and excites my heart?
Who do you imagine coming to you at night in your dreams, meeting you as your soul mate?

Navasha Daya, formerly of the group Fertile Grounds is a fellow Venus Sagittarius goddess. So is Tina Turner, Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Fonda, Christina Aguilera and Sinead O'Connor - just to name a few. (Don't confuse the Sun sign with the Venus sign.)

Ooooo Lala.... you must thank VENUS for showing you that the goddess of love is related to the rest of your life. She is 'relatedness' itself. She is EROS! Now you can THINK with your VENUS!! (Not think like a MAN.)

It's the Goddess season! Get your own unique GODDESS LOVE spiritual reading! You'll be amazed at what you discover in the mirror of love! Dare discover your attract-ive powers!

Eco-Sensual Knowledge

Photo by Steve McCurry

“The ancients did not gain their knowledge from books; instead they observed nature and felts its pulse, they felt the vibration of the earth and stars, the rhythm of day and night. They did not view themselves as separate from their environment but as functional parts of a whole. They were able to learn about themselves in what they saw and felt. Through rituals based on nature, especially the season, animals, and elements, people were able to enter into the spirit of what they saw. In this way they achieved inner knowledge.


"..…No separation was made between wo/man and God, between people and nature.
Oneness was recognized in all things.”
—Caroline Arewa, Opening to Spirit
