February, 2010 – Love thy sweetheart…

Lighten Up with Lisa

Love thy sweetheart, Love thy neighbor, and Love thyself.

(not necessarily in that order)

 

By Lisa Dawn Wax

 

Just for today, I will let go of anger
Just for today, I will let go of worry
Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings
Just for today, I will do my work honestly and with appreciation
Just for today, I will be kind to every living creature

5 Basic Principles of Reiki

 

With Valentine’s Day upon us I feel compelled to talk about LOVE. Love is a sensitive and risky subject matter with many varying definitions and interpretations. We all know that we have degrees of “romantic love”, including, but not limited to, our crushes, our infatuations, our heart-throbs, and our soul mates, which are very different from the “platonic love” we feel for our friends, families, pets and sometimes inanimate objects. (i.e. I love my flat iron.)  However, I want to talk about “spiritual love”; the kind of love that is at the center of a Divine Universal Life energy; the kind of love that is boundless and connects each living thing to one another; the kind of love that is the foundation for all healing; the kind of love that each one of us is capable of and entitled to. Spiritual love is an unlimited, unconditional, untainted, ever-flowing energy that comes straight from the Divine. Regardless of what religion you may practice, spiritual love is within your core reassuring that you are never truly alone.

 

A good example or instrument of spiritual love is the Japanese healing practice of Reiki.  Reiki is a holistic restorative technique using spiritually guided life energy whereby the “Rei” or God-Consciousness guides the “Ki” or life energy through the body. Reiki is not a religion in itself. It does not preach and it works whether you believe in it or not. However, because it is grounded in the principle of Divine love, it enables many people to experience their religion, love of God, self-love and love of others much more profoundly. Reiki focuses on expanding Love, helping one to understand the true meaning of unconditional love and increasing and spreading the vibration of Love to all. Routinely reciting and adhering to the five Reiki principles above is a way for you to start increasing and spreading your love vibrations.

 

So as we approach February 14th, a day some can’t wait for as well as a day that some can’t wait to forget; a day when those who are attached can celebrate and those who are longing to be attached may shed a tear; a day marked by chocolates, flowers, and sentimental cards; a day we can’t help but think about the loves we have and perhaps the loves we’ve lost, I encourage you to examine the different loves in your lives and then ask the questions, “How can I give more love? How can I receive more love?  How can I be more loving?  How can I be more loveable?” 

 

Keep in mind the aforementioned concept of Spiritual Love as you read the following affirmation, written by Louise Hay in You Can Heal Your Life.

 

Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love. 

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.  It fills my heart, my body, my mind my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.

The supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people for I know that which I give out returns to me multiplied. 

I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences, and I am free.

 I love myself; therefore, I live tot tally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright and joyous and secure, for I am a beloved child of the Universe, and the Universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever.

 All is well in my world.

 

 

There you have it. An almost surefire guarantee for tapping into the Spiritual Universal Love. I’m certain that after reading this article your heart chakra will expand and your heart light will burn brighter. If you study these words, live by these principles, you can’t help but feel differently.  When you acknowledge your spiritual love connections and truly believe that you are one with Divine Love not only will you strengthen your current relationships, but also you will notice how new experiences and opportunities will arise and manifestations of your desires are inevitable. 

 

Until next time, may your days be brighter and your lives be lighter.

Cheer for the Cure!

Komen Calls Out for Cheerleaders to Volunteer at Upcoming Race

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., (Jan. 12, 2010) – As the 19th Annual Susan G. Komen South Florida Race for the Cure® approaches— taking place on the morning of January 30 along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach— the non–profit organization is seeking middle, high school and college cheerleaders who will volunteer to cheer on the runners, walkers participants and survivors as part of the I AM THE CURE.® program. 

 

I AM THE CURE.® is a breast health program from the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure that teaches people simple steps they need to know to take charge of their breast health.  It speaks to the importance of early detection and provides simple, action-oriented chants that Race participants can take home and put into action.  These chants, and the simple steps that lead to early detection, will come to life as more than 23,000 Komen South Florida Race for the Cure participants make I AM THE CURE.® their rallying cry on Race day.

 

All official volunteer cheerleaders will receive a signed form documenting volunteer service hours for school or work. 

To volunteer and show your cheerleader skills, and join in the fight to find the cure for breast cancer, please contact Betsy Golub at sgolub70@aol.com.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, we have invested more than $1.3 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

ASTROLOGY AT WORK IN YOUR LIFE

 

February, 2010Karola Crawford

 

By Karola Crawford

 

    Well Pisces, while you were dreaming another birthday crept up, so here is a toast to you!  Your energy is feminine, receptive and you are definitely a water sign symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions.  One fish represents the personality and the other fish the soul, and one must be the master of your life in order for you to become proficient at swimming in the waters of life.  Neptune, your ruler represents gases, anesthesia, hospitals, the metaphysical world, institutions, and spirituality among other things.  You are very sensitive and are full of feelings and intuitive clairvoyance.  You can be extremely sympathetic and compassionate, and are self-sacrificing, full of imagination, and hypersensitive.  You can be impressionable, indecisive and changeable.  Your work is best with animals, films, the sea or water, or anything that requires caring such as doctors, actors, artists, nurses, psychiatrists, social workers and teachers. 

The opposing forces within you can cause insecurity and indecisiveness and sometimes you try to escape through eating, alcohol or other excesses.  You are extremely creative and self-sufficient and your mind is extremely active because you are so full of imagination. You are able to sense and feel things that others are not even aware of.  This could be the general atmosphere in a group or someone that you are having a one on one discussion with. You know deep within when you are being deceived.  Pisceans are congenial, adaptable and very versatile, however, you do not always have the strong willpower that is necessary to approach life in a dynamic fashion.  No one should underestimate you, however, into thinking that you are placid because you can stir up a hurricane if made unhappy.

You can be a mystic when you learn to use your prophetic gifts and listen to your strong intuition. This will definitely benefit you immensely as your elusive quality is correct even if not easily explained.  You are extremely generous in helping other people and appreciate when they reciprocate.  Your nature is to avoid confrontations and a reluctance to hurt others.  This quality causes others to be able to use you as you find it difficult to break the bonds and become uninvolved.  The downtrodden and strays of life and animals are lavished with your tender loving care, and friends gravitate to you easily as you are very loyal. 

   This Birthday allows hidden angels and blessings to come you way, even as unknown forces are causing changes to explode all around you.  Know that you are protected and that help with arrive when you need it, even if only at the last minute.

 

Aries – Rethink your actions before moving ahead with gusto.  There may be changes that require modification before they become permanent.

 

Taurus – Sensitivity sets in the latter part of the month as you dwell on the past and what could have been.  See the now as being perfect just the way that it is.

 

Gemini – Your social life is booming and your business is waiting to be managed with enthusiasm.  Go for it.

 

Cancer – The challenge is balancing home with the many other responsibilities that you hold.  Structures will be changed even if you hold on.

 

Leo – A meditation before plunging ahead is in order.  You have so many things going on that you may be missing a key fact, so regroup.

 

Virgo – Your desire to throw caution to the wind and push forward against all odds is not the ideal way to handle this transit.  Be clear about what you really want to eliminate.

 

Libra – You are feeling a bit closed in with responsibility and this will probably continue for a while.  This is a good time to build foundations.

 

Scorpio – A need to be flexible is being forced upon you.  The old and worn may be ready for an update, resulting in permanence down the road.

 

Sagittarius – You want answers but things are not clear at this time.  Go with the flow and allow the universe to give you signals to move forward. Trust your strong instincts.

 

Capricorn – Your predictable world is being rearranged by outside forces.  This is not something that you can control, so allow the changes to happen.  All will be well.

 

Aquarius – Art and beauty are big on the agenda so visit local shows and concerts.  You may want to exercise your talents of dancing and painting as well.

It’s become a holiday tradition; the husband and wife orthodontic team of Douglas Freedman and Sharon Haas show appreciation to their patients and make a profound difference by giving back to the community.  Now in it’s thirteenth year the annual event held on January 3rd attracted hundreds of patients, parents, and friends to the Palm Beach Ice and Skate Zone.  Ice skating, face painting, tattoo art and a great magic show along with food, prizes and lots of family fun times were exactly what the good doctors ordered.  “It’s always so heart warming to see the patients and family members come together every year for this event, we love doing this”.  Said Dr. Sharon Haas.  Dr. Douglas Freedman continued.  “Look around and see all of the wonderful gifts that our patients and family members so generously donate.”  This year the table was overflowing with boxes of toys, clothing and gifts.  It is truly a community event that gets bigger and better every year.  This years donations were brought in for Center For Family Services and 15 clients from the organization attended.  Clint Stevens, who represents the families beamed, “I am always amazed by the generosity of this group, we are so blessed to be part of this event each year, thanks so much to the doctors, their wonderful staff and patients”.

2009-2010
West Palm Beach, FL

In early Sept. 2009, the local Elks Lodge decided to apply for a $500 Community Involvement grant.  The Wellington Garden Club agreed to provide expertise and support via its Master Gardeners and newly formed Wellington High School Junior Garden Club.

Members of the Junior Garden Club, a parent, a WGC Master Gardener and a volunteer vegetable garden expert/member of Holy Spirit Episcopal Church attended a Community Vegetable Garden all day seminar on Sept. 19 given by experts chosen by the local Extension Service and given at the Mounts Botanical Garden in WPB. One of the speakers who is very knowledgeable on organic gardening agreed to give us his advice as needed.

Upon learning that the request for funding had been granted, a 30′ x 40′ raised bed vegetable garden was installed by the Elks on their property.  Families living in the Westgate Village Habitat for Humanity complex, nearby the gardens were asked to participate as well as a family from Holy Spirit.
And the following businesses contributed to the garden as well:  Builtx, Inc.  loaned  the dump trucks which picked up 3 large loads of compost donated by the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Ace Hardware of Port St. Lucie and our volunteer vegetable garden expert donated all the seed,  and the Ice Cream Club of Boynton Beach, FL provided “dessert” to the families who did the planting.  Elks members donated various herbs for harvesting by the families and the cooks at the Elks.

As of Jan. 15th, our garden is flourishing, Jack Frost not withstanding, with green beans, spinach, collard greens and lettuce being harvested and only a few weeks to go until our tomatoes and squash will be ready.  As a special treat the children who planted attended a Holiday Brunch with Santa given by the Elks Lodge #1352.
