Wellness is not merely the absence of disease. It is not a passive state but rather a dynamic and conscious development of the whole self. Wellness is associated with intentions, choices, and actions leading toward an optimal state of well-being so that instead of surviving, you're thriving. Wellness is commonly viewed as having seven dimensions: mental, physical, social, financial, spiritual, environmental, and vocational. These dimensions are interdependent and influence each other. When one dimension of our well-being is out of balance, the other dimensions are affected.

Attention must be given to all the dimensions, as neglect of any one over time will adversely affect the others, and ultimately one’s health, well-being, and quality of life. They do not, however, have to be equally balanced. Each of us should aim, instead, to strive for a “personal harmony” that feels most authentic to us. Everyone naturally has their our own priorities, approaches, and aspirations, including our own views of what it means to live life fully.

Are you ready aim for personal harmony? Do you want ideas to make this happen?

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility. It includes questions about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality.

The word "metaphysics" itself comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean "after or behind or among [the study of] the natural".

Using the theory of Metaphysics; nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility. The idea that crystals carry vibrational energy is plausible and their energy can heal the body and mind.

Like crystals Scientific research into the mind body connection continues to provide further evidence that the body and mind are interconnected.  These findings bolster many ancient claims stating that full and long-lasting healing can occur when the mind, body and spirit are treated.

Metaphysics is all psychological, but at the same time, it can evoke major changes. Metaphysical healing encourages your spirit to heal your body.

Ascension is not about becoming a superhuman. Rather it is a mere process to define your priorities in life. You let go of your human urges and worldly desires. It helps you to move towards spiritual goals and ascend to a higher realm of spiritual connection. Ascension is an experience that gives freedom to your soul. Then the soul frees itself from earthly ties and realizes the true joy of life.

Living in Gratitude

It's time to rejoice, mercury has gone direct, and we are all grateful.  The Little Page of Peace posted, be grateful that certain things didn’t work out. Sometimes you don’t even know what you’re being protected from or where you’re being guided to when you’re in the midst of chaos. That’s why you just have to trust that greater things are aligning for you. Let go gracefully. 

Nobody escapes the retrograde as its backward motion tends to pull on our very gravity, down here on Earth. Retrogrades happen with every planet, but when Mercury is the main event, we reap the effects of bad communication, insulting conversation, tech failures, relationship trauma, and on and on. 

When we experience Mercury retrograde, we experience trouble, failure, financial loss, job loss ... even poor health issues can come up.   So, it makes sense that when Mercury goes direct, as it begins to do so on February 3, 2022, it's somewhat of a time to rejoice.

According to Merrium Webster, Gratitude is defined the quality of being thankful or the readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. And when you remember, Gratitude, which rhymes with "attitude," comes from the Latin word gratus, which means "thankful, pleasing." When you feel gratitude, you're pleased by what someone did for you and also pleased by the results. Unlike indebtedness, you're not anxious about having to pay it back.

The bible says "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." ... "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

On this episode, Victoria Smith, host, creator of the CircleofQi.com and #naturalmarketer invites you to celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Water Tiger that begins on February 1, 2022.

This festival is believed go as far back as prehistory. It marks the start of the new lunar cycle and is called the Spring Festival (in the northern hemisphere) as it falls between the December solstice and the March equinox. China follows the Gregorian calendar for daily business but the dates of the Chinese New Year and other important festivals are determined by the Chinese calendar.

Each year in the Chinese calendar is assigned to an animal. According to one belief, Buddha promised gifts to all animals that would pay him homage. Only 12 animals came to honor Buddha so, to favor these 12 animals, each one was given one of the 12 years of the Chinese zodiac. People are said to inherit distinctive characteristics from the animal of their birth year. The signs repeat every 12 years.

The Lunar Phases and Moon Rituals for healing has become a staple of society today.

Like me the moon holds a particular fascination. Humans interest in astrology has evolved past a quick check of our horoscopes in the paper. Now mercury in retrograde has somehow become the latest scapegoat for most of our problems, and more and more of us are becoming fascinated by the moon. Admired by poets, and philosophers alike its beauty has inspired a masterpiece or two. But you may be surprised to learn the moon has energies for healing, especially the full moon and new moon. The moon’s power is beneficial for increasing spiritual force and balancing the body’s natural rhythms. Moon healing can be done at each lunar stage. This continual cycle of the moon can be used for many different purposes in your life: reflection, manifestation, wellness, self-care, even nourishing your intuition.

Happy Halloween - All Hallows Eve, Samhain for my celtic sisters. No matter what way you stir it, Halloween is a staple for American childhood. Telling Ghost stories, entering a haunted house, getting your favorite sweets at a trunk or treat or even a neighborhood festival. We all celebrate All Hallows Eve in our own ghoulish ways, but I am spending it in the hills of Tennessee.

What started in Celtic Mythology spread to American with the Irish and Celtic settlers, but it was the 1950s that really made Halloween what it is today. Join me tonight for the stories of Celtic past, to the modern folklore of today, and ponder some childish jokes along the way.

Happy Halloween!
