Miracles are real.
Except, they're not particularly miraculous. 
They're just how the Universe works. 

​When we begin to trust in the Universe, we discover that convergences—miracle moments in which time, space, consciousness and grace all come together—are happening all time, in every moment.

When we let ourselves believe in miracles, we start to pay attention to all the magic and power that is always around us.

At first, when we start paying attention, it seems like miracles are happening more often!

But soon we come to the understanding: miracles are always happening. It’s how the Universe works. 

If you have lost your faith a little bit or a lot, take a step back from all those Misbeliefs. All that worry and angst in your head is not real. The Universe is moving in Divine Flow, just as it always has, forever. 

Take a moment, take a breath, and just start noticing every little thing around you. When you pay attention, without expecting things to be one way or another way, you start to notice the synchcronicities and convergences, and you start to see the patterns, and you start to see the miracles. 

And once you start to notice them, you will see that miracles—all the ways the Universe is in direct support of us—are happening all the time. 

Some people meditate 2 hours a day, and some  never meditate. 
Some people drink green smoothies, and some don't. 
Some have a yoga practice, and others don't. 

Does it matter? 
The answer is no.. and yes. 

It doesn't matter what you do as your specific spiritual practice.
There is no right way or wrong way. 
Do this or do that, do something or nothing. 
The Universe doesn't care. 

All the Universe wants is for you to do is to connect in—to experience direct connection with All That Is,  in whatever way works for you. 

When we connect with ourselves at the soul level, we are healed, released, comforted—we have the sense of coming home. It is here that we find the peace we’ve been searching for.

For example, if you spend your whole life drinking soda pop, you drink a lot but you are never quenching your thirst. What you really desire is a glass of pure water. When we try to connect spiritually with worldly things, or busyness, or distractions,  it’s the same: we can’t ever quench our thirst. 

Yet when we connect with the Divine, we understand that we have finally found what we’ve been seeking.

Don't worry about doing it right, or doing it the way everyone else is doing it.
Just connect with All That Is. Do it whatever way works for you. 

This month Jupiter transits into Scorpio for a FULL YEAR—until November 2018! 

This is big news! 
This is big energy!
And it's all good!

Jupiter is a lucky planet that activates wherever it lands. Scorpio is all about money, sex, power, the inner world, death and rebirth—it's a very intense sign. Thus when Jupiter moves into Scorpio, we begin to see everything intensified in all things Scorpio. 

Remember, death in spiritual terms usually means death of the old ways, not actual death. You can expect active shaking off of the old cobwebs as Scorpio asks you to get serious about what you're trying to create in your life. 

Scorpio is also a fixed sign. This means it is firm and stubborn and does not take no for an answer. 

So, what do you want to do with lucky Jupiter in Scorpio for A WHOLE YEAR?  I'd suggest you ask  the Universe to help you get clear on:

• Intensity and focus - what are you REALLY meant to do in your life? 
• Passion and purpose - what are you REALLY meant to put your energy toward? 
• Inner work - do you REALLY know who you are?
• Psychic awakening - do you know how to use your intuition as spiritual practice?

Jupiter in Scorpio is a rare, year-long window of opportunity. October is a great month to commit to what you're on this planet to do—and then do it. 

​When we have passion for something, such as our life’s calling, our life’s work, the expansion of ourselves—the Universe supports us!

Our life becomes enjoyable, meaningful, FUN! 

When we follow our soul's calling, we are gifted continually with miracles of synchronicity, Divine guidance, and Flow that lead us to our highest possibility.

The thing to remember, if you want to live an enjoyable, meaningful, FUN  and passionate life, is this: it’s always, always, ALWAYS about answering your soul’s calling.

When we listen to the small voice—the mind/ego/personality—we get tripped up with fear, anxiety, shame or whatever negative feeling comes up. The small voice leads us to worrying that we aren’t good enough to live our dreams, or that we can’t do it for some reason.

But when we view the situation from soul perspective, we realize that these fears are unfounded!  

The key to a passionate life is to let go of the small voice, and listen to your soul. It will always lead you where you really want to go

If you're not sure what your soul's calling is—ask the Universe for guidance. 

We are doing it again... sunset redux. 
In which we try to watch every single sunset of summer. 

It's September now, and it's almost over... just a few opportunities left.
 
We did this in 2014. We did it in 2015, and in 2016. And this year, it is the same: bliss, bliss and more bliss, as the sun sinks down in the west and calls it another day. 

Yes, there has been astounding stress this summer: heat and fire, hurricanes and floods, so much suffering for so many.

And yet, the sheer beauty of it...
In all of this suffering, how can there also be so much bliss? 

There is the sun, first high in the sky over the river.
There is the blaze of color and saturation and glow.
There is the sun sliding down  till it hangs  over the rim of the horizon.
And then there is the drop: as the orb slides beneath  the earth.
A few moments later: the Fahrenheit drops, and night begins its night call: birds, crickets, frogs enter chorus.

Last night, the Universe did all over again, perfectly: As the sun dropped, we were listening to Wah! sing "Shiva", and at the moment Wah@ sand "Shiva," the wind picked up and a breeze sang though the trees. 

So much bliss! I was completely gone. 

To watch the sunset every night is a spiritual practice.
It is a call to meditation, to connection, and to the repeated, insistent cognizance of our place as a human on the earth, and our place as a soul in the Universe.
