February 09, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 9, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I step away from struggle and embrace living in the moment.

We were mostly taught that to achieve our dreams we have to work hard, to struggle, to take the hard road. But what if that isn't true?

What if the road to success, in all areas of our life, is based on trusting our heart to guide us in the right direction? If we are floating down a river, we may get there sooner if we swim, but we will also get there exhausted and may not enjoy the ride.

Let's ask ourselves... is it more important to attain the goal sooner, or is it more important to enjoy the journey as we head in that direction. Each person must make their own choice, but maybe we can step away from struggle, and embrace living in the moment. We can be true to our self while still heading in the direction of our goals.

February 08, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 8, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I empower myself to create the life I truly desire.

It's easy to blame others, or circumstances, for anything that isn't flowing in our life. But since we are the ones in charge of ourselves and of our life, we disempower ourselves when we blame others.

The way to get out of that is to acknowledge that we made, and are making, the decisions that led to the life we are experiencing. It can be difficult to own up to the fact that we are responsible for whatever is going on with our life. It's so much easier to blame others -- whether that is a husband or wife, kids, our boss, our co-workers, our government, etc...

But if we want to make changes in our life, if we want things to improve, we must recognize what we need to stop doing, as well as what we need to do. By taking charge, we remove the blockages created by blame, judgment, and lack of responsibility. We get out of our head with its doubts, fears, judgments, etc., and we empower ourselves to create the life we truly desire.

February 07, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 7, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I choose my path, attitude, and direction.

Contrary to what we've been told, or been taught, no one can "make us" do anything. We make the decision whether to go along with someone else's requests or orders. Our refusal to cooperate or obey will have consequences, but we still have the final say... even if the consequence is the death of a friendship or job, or even our own death. Ultimately, we are each the boss of ourselves.

In the realm of healing, that also holds true. Your health is in your hands. An example of this is if your doctor tells you to quit smoking, or to eat healthier foods, or to exercise, or recommends a medical treatment or surgery... you are the one who makes the decision to follow the doctor's advice, or not. You are the boss of you.

So based on that, we see that all healing starts with us. No matter the advice we receive, the knowledge we have, the research we do, we must take action ourselves for any of that to have any beneficial effect. We choose the path to walk, the attitude to take, the direction we are going in. The path may not lead us directly to the solution we seek, but we still choose the path ourselves.

February 06, 2022 Horoscope and Astrological Overview: February 7 - 13, 2022
Written and Narrated by Pam Younghans.

Astrological Overview: February 7 - 13, 2022

Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this weekly astrological journal based on planetary influences, and offers perspectives and insights to assist you in making the best use of current energies. This column is not intended as prediction. Your own experience will be more specifically defined by transits to your personal chart.
Aspects of Note this Week:

All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. (For Eastern Time, add 3 hours; For Greenwich Mean Time, add 8 hours.)
MON: Jupiter semisquare Eris
TUE: Mars trine Uranus
WED: No major aspects are exact today
THU: No major aspects are exact today
FRI: Mercury conjunct Pluto
SAT: Sun sextile Eris
SUN: Sun semisquare Chiron

CONTROVERSIAL ERIS is in the spotlight this week. Like Pluto, another "dwarf planet," Eris usually far out-performs its classification, making a strong impact on our shared experience. The Pluto-Eris square that dominated 2020 and 2021 – and is still at work in 2022 – is one of the astrological influences we can point to for the ongoing battles between those in power and those who have been ignored or feel unjustly treated.

Giant planet Jupiter is exactly semisquare discontented Eris this Monday, but the energy of this aspect has been with us for a week or two and will continue in effect for at least another ten days. Jupiter is the Great Magnifier, acting to enhance or exaggerate whatever it touches. As Jupiter and Eris interact, we expect (and have seen) grand expressions of dissatisfaction. A huge caravan of semitrucks rolling through city streets, gathering worldwide attention, is a dramatic representation of this semisquare aspect.

Perhaps you, too, have reached a limit in some area of your life and are ready to take a stand. You may be protesting unfair conditions, be willing to speak your truth, or be reclaiming your power in some other way. With...

February 06, 2022 How To Walk The Fearless Path
Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell.

Life comes with its own set of challenges. Some are minor hurdles to cross, others can call up a lot of fears from the depth of our being. Fear of failure, fear of sickness (and/or death), fear of poverty, fear of being unloved, fear of losing your job, etc... You can add to the list from your own personal life experiences and fears. Sometimes it seems as if we are trapped in this maze of fears. But we are not trapped. There are ways out of the maze once we learn the ropes, and them we can attain the results we desire.
Believe
In order to conquer our fears or doubts about our future, we must first believe that health, happiness, and success will be ours. Unfortunately our society has taught us to focus on the negative. A simple example of this is when we say "I'm catching a cold". My response to that is: Don't catch it, let it go. In other words, if we believe we are catching (or will catch) a cold, we are "instructing" our body to do so. We are programming that result into our future.

So rather than believe you are catching a cold, or failing, or whatever fear is the current one, choose to believe the opposite. Choose to program into your belief system that you are getting healthier and healthier every day. Choose to believe that you are safe. Choose to believe that success is inevitable. Choose to believe that your dreams are coming true.

Before anything can take place in our life, we must believe that it can. As Wayne Dyer wrote: You'll see it when you believe it. If we don't believe in the possibility, we won't recognize it when it shows up. We must believe the door is there before we can see the door opening...

February 06, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 6, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I am willing to trust the process of life.

One of the greatest hindrances to attaining our goals, whether our goal is an attitude or an aptitude, is our lack of trust and our attempt to control the outcome. We may think we know what and when is best for us, but since we only see a small part of the picture, we don't really know what is best for us in the long run. The solution is to trust in the process (Believe, Visualize, Relax, Be Grateful, Observe, Take Action) and allow the end result to come to us at the right time and the right place.

As mentioned in the book The Fearless Path by Curtis Rivers, the process can be compared to baking a cake. You follow the recipe, put the cake in the oven at the right temperature, and then you allow the process to take place. You have to trust and allow the cake to rise and bake in its own time. You don't keep opening the oven to check how it's doing.

So it is with our goals and dreams. Once we get all the ingredients together, set the right temperature (which includes our beliefs, attitudes, and actions), we must allow divine timing to take place. When the time is right, the end result will come to be. Once we have a goal set in our mind and heart, we must trust and allow it -- or something better -- to arrive in our lives.

February 05, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 5, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Whatever we want to attain or realize, after we've had the inspiration or vision, we must at some point move on to action.

Taking action means more than just starting, it requires sustained action, day after day, moment after moment. It can't be like those New Year's resolutions that sometimes fall away after a few weeks. To reach our goal, to break through the stagnation and inertia, we must take sustained action.

Every day, we must focus on our dream, our vision, our goal. We start by believing and visualizing, and we observe ourselves and our surroundings so we know what the next step needs to be, and then, we take action. As Lao-Tzu stated over two-thousand years ago, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

February 04, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 4, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I take the time to be an observer of my life and of myself.

So many things take place in our life that we may not even be aware of. There are many things going on in the background of our life that all contribute to its richness. And there are many things going on within our self and our mind that we would be well served to observe as well.

Of course there are all the miracles of life taking place constantly in our body, but there are also miracles all around us... sometimes we refer to these as coincidences or synchronicities, or perhaps just a lucky break. And many times these take place without our even noticing them because we are not observing our life as someone "on the outside" would see it.

But as we start observing our life and the events and insights that take come to us, we start to see how it all fits into a larger puzzle. Pay attention to all the coincidences, happy synchronicities, and luck that come your way, or that you see in other people's lives. The more you observe, the more of these happy events you will notice. Open your eyes, both physically and intuitively, and see all the magic that constantly takes place in your life.

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: Gratitude is a wonderful medicine, just like laughter, joy and love.

Focusing on the things we have to be grateful for helps improve our situation which then helps raise our energy, not just emotionally but physically as well.

To help conquer your fears and doubts, start spending some time contemplating the things you have to be grateful for. You will feel better for it, and your life will also feel better.

Gratitude is wonderful medicine, just like laughter, joy and love.

February 02, 2022 Daily Inspiration: February 2, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I visualize what I want, then I begin to build it.

The reverse of Wayne Dyer statement (You'll see it when you believe it), is also true. We must first see it within our imagination, within our heart, within our inner thoughts, in order to assist it in becoming reality. It's a bit of a circle. First you must see it on the inside, then believe in it, and then you will see it on the outside. Whatever we are desiring, it first has to be visualized internally before it can take form on the outside. This quote by Robert Collier says it very well: "Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint, and begin to build."

If you're building a house, you "see it internally" as you imagine what you'd like, then you write it down on paper in the form of a blueprint, and then it takes form in reality as it gets built. That works for everything. Any invention, any project, any goal. First you think of it, imagine it, then you believe in it and next turn it into reality.

So whatever it is you wish to attain -- a new job, a different living space, better health, more self-confidence, anything -- start by seeing it internally in your imagination. Imagine and visualize the end result, feel yourself experiencing it with joy, love, and gratitude. And then let your inner guidance and intuition lead you to how to make that dream a reality. See it (internally), believe it, and then you will see it come true (externally).
