January 26, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 26, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I transform my pain into a blessing rather than a curse.

Pain is a feeling that is very personal. When asked by a doctor to give a number for my pain, from 1 to 10, I'm always at a loss. How do you rate your pain? Unless of course it is excruciating, then you want to pick a number that is much higher than 10. But otherwise... is it a 3, a 5, a 7? It's such a personal experience that it seems hard to catalog it on a 1 to 10 scale.

But what about pain that isn't physical... like a broken heart, or the pain you feel from the betrayal of a friend, or the anger directed your way. How can you categorize that kind of pain by assigning it a number? All we know is that we are in pain, and that some days it hurts more than others.

Pain, like feelings, needs to be acknowledged and honored. Yes, honored! The pain comes with a message and a life lesson. The quicker we can get in touch with what we need to learn from it, the quicker we will be able to move on and be freed of its greedy tentacles. Pain will feed on your energy until you understand its gift and transform it into a blessing, rather than a curse.

January 25, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 25, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I honor myself by honoring my feelings.

Whenever we feel out of sync with our life, we can find the clue to the reason why by accessing our feelings. Any disharmony within your being will be expressed through your feelings.

When we don't pay attention to our feelings, the energy blockage remains and builds -- and can erupt in harmful ways. It is best to learn to tune in to our feelings rather than ignore and repress them. They are there for a reason. They have a message to share.

What are you feeling right now? Are you happy? Sad? Angry? Depressed? Joyful? Confused? What are your feelings telling your about what is going on, or not going on, in your life. Honor yourself by honoring your feelings and listening to the messages and insights they are leading you to.

January 23, 2022 Horoscope and Astrological Overview: January 24 - 30, 2022
Written and Narrated by Pam Younghans.

Astrological Overview: January 24 - 30, 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.)

All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. (For Eastern Time, add 3 hours; For Greenwich Mean Time, add 8 hours.)
MON: Mars enters Capricorn
TUE: Mercury re-enters Capricorn, Sun semisquare Neptune
WED: Mercury trine North Node
THU: No major aspects are exact today
FRI: Sun sextile Chiron, Mercury conjunct Pluto
SAT: Venus stations direct
SUN: Sun square Uranus
IN CONTRAST to the seemingly relentless cosmic and solar activity we've experienced of late, the last full week of January begins with an apparently quiet Sun and a deceptively short list of astrological aspects on the agenda. It may be that we are in a period of integration right now. Our psyches and our physical, mental, and emotional bodies certainly need time to adjust to the recent influx of cosmic information and downloads.

And yet we are learning to "read between the lines" of lists and standard scientific measurements, turning inward to discern what is going on. When we do this, we realize that energy is never at a standstill, even when there seems to be a pause in the action.

In most years, this week's planetary activity might be considered fairly minor. However, three events are quite important, due to being directly tied to longer-term influences...

January 23, 2022 The Blessings of the Entire Nature Kingdom
Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell.

We are so blessed to live on Planet Earth, yet we tend to take so much of what is here for granted. This applies not just to our fellow humans, but also to animals, minerals, vegetation, and the whole planet itself. We need to be grateful also for air, water, etc. These things are essential, not just for our survival, but for us to thrive.
Honor and Respect
As humans, we tend to think we are superior or more advanced than animals. We may think we are higher on the evolutionary scale than insects. But, are we? Bees have a whole social and communication system that we might learn from. So do ants. And what about the unconditional love we receive from our pets? They are much more advanced than us on the "love scale".

We may think that animals are here to serve us, but perhaps we are the ones who are here to serve them by providing them love, food, and shelter. By learning to honor and respect animals, big and small, we can also learn how to honor and respect ourselves and other human beings.

Animals can be our teachers if we will just open our eyes and our heart to them. When we encounter any animals, including insects, we can honor and respect them by asking ourselves: What can I learn from this creature? What can it teach me? We may be surprised and in awe of the answer...

January 23, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 23, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I thank, bless, and love the entire nature kingdom.

Nature heals us and purifies our energies and thoughts. Researchers have found that people who are exposed to beautiful nature scenes are more generous, trusting, and helpful towards others.

The whole natural kingdom feeds us, not just physically, but energetically and spiritually. A walk in the woods, or on a nature path or in a park, replenishes our energy and boosts our feel-good endorphin hormones. When we are upset and go for a long walk or run, we usually end up feeling calmer and more at peace. Nature recharges, balances, and heals us.

Feelings of love and respect for nature set our vibration to a higher level... one of love, gratitude, and harmony. The more we take the time to go out in nature and commune with all the natural energies, the more we fill ourselves with healing energy, and the more in tune we become, not just with nature, but with ourselves and our fellow humans.

Let us remember, each day, to thank, bless, and love the entire nature kingdom, and to partake of its beauty and presence.

January 23, 2022 "I'll Do It Tomorrow" -- The Quicksand of Procrastination
Written by Jude Bijou and Narrated by Marie T. Russell.

Almost everyone procrastinates. We usually do it to avoid a task that's unpleasant or daunting. Some things are broad and require lots of time and effort, and may involve changing long-held behaviors or beliefs. Others are very specific one-time jobs. When procrastinating starts to interfere with our quality of life by causing us to feel worried, guilty, lazy, panicky, or irresponsible, then it's time to get on with it.

Think taxes, a difficult phone call, or following through on a promise you made in haste or through obligation.

I've laid out some steps to get out of the quicksand of procrastination and reap numerous benefits, which include improved productivity, enhanced mood, less stress, better relationships, a sense of accomplishment, and feeling more successful in life....

January 23, 2022 Playing with Metaphors to Help You With Transformation
Written by Carl Greer and Narrated by Marie T. Russell

When your story isn’t working for you, when it seems to be influencing what you’re experiencing and causing you unhappiness, you can change it. And playing with metaphors can help you to do that.

Maybe your current story is zapping you of energy, enthusiasm, and optimism because it’s a story like one of these:
I’m getting nowhere fast. People like me can’t expect too much out of life. If I take a risk, I’ll fail miserably, so I’d better stick with my life as it is even though I feel unfulfilled.
With a story like that, it’s hard to be hopeful about transformation. However, you can regain your optimism about your power to change your life for the better by playing with metaphors, exploring their meanings, which can yield insights that you might not have been aware of otherwise. Then, you can take what you’ve learned and consciously craft a new story....

January 22, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 22, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I am one with everything.

We live on this planet as if we are the masters of it all and as if we are separate from "others" -- whether human, animal, vegetable, mineral. or spiritual. That is the greatest illusion.

All is connected. Everything is composed of energy and energy has no boundaries. Our energy flows from us to and through everything around us, and the energy of everything around us flows to and through us.

It is time to drop the illusions of separation between "us" and "them" -- whatever form we give to "them". Everything (and everyone) is our reflection and our teacher. And we are one with everything!

January 21, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 21, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I thank Mother Earth for the love and sustenance she provides all of us.

While water, fire, and air are indeed essential, without Earth we would literally have nothing to stand on. Mother Earth is our base, our foundation, our support. She feeds and nurtures us.

As humans, we are well aware that we are birthed from our mother. Yet how aware are we of Mother Earth who nurtures and supports all forms of life on Earth, including us.

Let's take the time to recognize the bounty, beauty, and importance of Mother Earth in our existence. Let's start to honor her by treating her with respect and love. Let honor her by treating all of her children and charges with respect and love. Planet Earth is our home, Let's treat it with love and keep it vibrantly healthy and clean.

January 20, 2022 Daily Inspiration: January 20, 2022
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is: I acknowledge and give thanks for the air I breathe.

While we can survive for 3 days without water, without air we cannot survive more than 3 minutes -- the exception being deep sea divers who train to extend their range. And, how often do we stop and give thanks for the air that we breathe? I would chance to say "not often".

For all of its importance for our survival, we tend to take air for granted. Unless the air is tainted with pollutants, or loaded with heavy odors or smoke, we tend to ignore it. Even when the air movement is powerful as in a storm or hurricane, we do not think of it as air but as wind.

Air is essential. Clean air is a blessing. Let's take the time to be thankful for the air we breathe, and also take measures to ensure that the air on the planet remains (or in some cases becomes) clean for generations to come. And, as we breathe out, we can charge our exhale with love and blessings as it goes out into the world.
