Mind Over Matter

Mind Over Matter

We can improve our physical well-being by first starting to notice our thoughts and our reactions to them.

The power of the mind is a curious thing, because it is so powerful yet so difficult to control sometimes. We find ourselves thinking a certain way, knowing that this thought may be creating trouble for us yet we find it difficult to stop. For example, many people have the experience of getting sick at the same time every year or every time they go on a plane. They may even be aware that their beliefs impact their experiences, so continue to think they will get sick and then they do. 

Sometimes we need to get sick in order to process something or move something through our bodies. But often we get sick, or feel exhausted, because we don't make the effort to galvanize the power of our minds in the service of our physical health, which is one of its most important functions. We really can use it to communicate to our bodies, yet we often regard the two as separate entities that have little to do with one another. 

Knowing this, we have the power to create physical health and mental health, simply by paying attention to the tapes running in our minds. Once we hear ourselves, we have the option to let that tape keep running or to make a new recording. We harness the power of the mind in our defense when we choose supportive, healing words that foster good health and high spirits. All we need to do is remember to tend the field of our mind with the attentive and loving hand of a master gardener tending her flower beds, culling out the weeds so that the blossoms may come to fruition.

Cancer Horoscope: Fueled By Eagerness

Fueled By Eagerness

September 30, 2021

Your life will likely be blessed by novelty and excitement today, as a flood of interesting opportunities presents themselves to you unexpectedly. The enthusiasm you likely feel as you mull over this sudden influx of options can prompt you to think carefully and thoughtfully about what you hope to achieve in the future. You may come to discover today that the destinies that thrill you most in the mind's eye are also those that will likely be most challenging. If you can maintain your current level of upbeat optimism and eagerness, however, you can pursue these difficult paths without becoming overwhelmed by the adversity you inevitably encounter there.

The excitement we feel upon beginning a new phase of life's journey can sustain our spirits when we realize that we will be called upon to face challenges unlike any we have ever known. As unfamiliar as the path before us no doubt is, our eagerness can protect us from the disillusionment that often goes hand in hand with unexpected novelty. Our expectations may not be met in the short-term, but we understand that the trials we are coping with in the present will someday contribute to our eventual success. For this reason, we are unafraid to initiate new projects in the diverse spheres of our existence because we instinctively know that there is a brighter future waiting to be brought into being by our efforts. The enthusiasm you embody today will help you stand strong in the face of unavoidable difficulties.

Hearing the Whisper

Hearing the Whisper

There is beauty and power when we listen to the whisper.

You may have noticed that if you want to speak to someone in a noisy, crowded room, the best thing to do is lean close and whisper. Yelling in an attempt to be louder than the room's noise generally only hurts your throat and adds to the chaos. Similarly, that still, small voice within each of us does not try to compete with the mental chatter on the surface of our minds, nor does it attempt to overpower the volume of the raucous world outside. If we want to hear it, no matter what is going on around us or even inside us, we can always tune in to that soft voice underneath the surrounding noise. 

It is generally true that the more insistent voices in our heads delivering messages that make us feel panicky or afraid are of questionable authority. They may be voices we internalized from childhood or from the culture, and as such they possess only half-truths. Their urgency stems from their disconnectedness from the center of our being, and their urgency is what catches our attention. The other voice that whispers reassurances that everything is fundamentally okay simply delivers its message with quiet confidence. Once we hear it, we know it speaks the truth. Generally, once we have heard what it has to say, a powerful sense of calm settles over our entire being, and the other voices and sounds, once so dominant, fade into the background, suddenly seeming small and far away. 

We may find that our own communications in the world begin to be influenced by the quiet certainty of this voice. We may be less inclined to indulge in idle chatter as we become more interested in maintaining our connection to the whisper of truth that broadcasts its message like the sound of the wind shaking the leaves of a tree. As we align ourselves more with this quiet confidence, we become an extension of the whisper, penetrating the noise of the world and creating more peace, trust, and confidence.

Cancer Horoscope: Dynamic Transformation

Dynamic Transformation

September 29, 2021

You may feel that your life is changing too rapidly for you to bear today, and yet at the same time you may be excited to discover the transformations that will shortly take place. This dynamic mood can be a boon to you as you move through the various spheres of your existence, as you will no doubt come across many opportunities to take advantage of the unpredictable circumstances unfolding all around you today. This can be a wonderful time to reconsider the plans you made, because sticking to them without taking your situation into account may not be the best course of action. If you can adapt, you can handle any challenge that comes your way.

We can accomplish so much more than we ever thought possible when we make change work for us by looking for opportunities to approach transformation dynamically rather than passively. Our lives are constantly changing in myriad little-noticed ways, and as small as these adjustments are, we can take control of them. It is easy to simply let our lives unfold as they will, but it is far more rewarding to open our awareness to the transformations taking place so we can play a more active role in their impact on our existence. When we decide that we want to serve as directors of our destinies, our enthusiasm and our purposefulness will aid us greatly as we begin making choices with regard to when and how change will affect our lives. Today, your dynamic attitude toward transformative experiences will help you to shape the future you desire.
