WORDS TO LIVE BY


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

February Self-Healing Tips

Written by Julie Festa, L.Ac.

The winter's solstice was upon us this year on December 21st. It is the shortest day of the year, the end of one planetary year, the beginning of a new one, and the official beginning of winter. Winter a season of reflection, and it is ruled by the Water element. It is also a time of consolidation and storage. We warm and store the yang energies deep within the body while the outer body cools. The way to harmonization with winter's energies is to embody our more yin qualities. We can do this by becoming more receptive, introspective, and storage-oriented. It is a good time to rest, to meditate deeply, and to store physical energy while staying active enough to keep the spine and joints flexible.

A MASTER’S WISDOM

Greetings to the Wonderful Blessed Students of Shakti's Elements,
I wanted to share some thoughts with you for the opening months of 2007, as we have recently passed through the Winter Solstice -- that point where the Northern Hemisphere is leaning farthest away from the sun than any other time of the year.

Solstice means...
standing-still-sun

What occurs when we stand still?
