  | | Chanting |
by Madisyn Taylor In many cultures and civilizations, chanting, a form of vocal meditation, has endured through the ages. Practiced by many people around the world seeking greater health, a sense of well-being, enlightenment, and a connection to the divine, chanting unites the mind, body, emotions, and breath through vocal sounding. This unification can open and nurture your creativity, lower stress levels, and teach you to become fully alert and in the moment.
Some people are naturally drawn to chant while others feel awkward using their voices in such a way. Singing along with recorded chants before chanting on your own can help dispel any nervousness. However, the chanting that will resonate most deeply and beneficially for you is the chanting you do for yourself. There are many different chants. They can be composed of names, words, sounds, syllables, or even sections of text. What you chant is less important than your willingness to focus fully on the act of chanting itself. To begin, sit comfortably with a straight back and take a series of long, deep breaths to open and flex your lungs. Then, take another breath, and with resonant tones direct your breath outward in the form of sound. Simple syllables like 'oh,' 'ee,' or 'mm' are easy to remember.
Chanting lets you raise the level of your own vibration to a higher spiritual state. You can chant as an invocation or to set intention. Reciting even the simplest chant can bolster a flagging spirit, hone the mind, and produce natural painkillers within the brain. While chanting, you may feel energy surging through your physical body or joy entering your heart. Chanting can liberate and ground you simultaneously because it allows your soul to soar freely while compelling you to focus on the here and now. |

Its toxic nature impedes the ebb and flow of loving relationships, while obstructing the passage of giving and accepting affection.

 | | Professional Passion | Cancer Horoscope February 2, 2017 The hard work you have put into your professional life may make you feel respected in your field, and you could have a greater sense of confidence in yourself today as a result. Doing something that you care about may have led you to the point where you are right now. Maybe it is your passion that has inspired you to reach the heights that you have. Getting in touch with what motivates you today could be a way for you to stay interested in your profession by finding new avenues for growth that can help you sustain your momentum. Perhaps you can focus on your heart center and imagine that you are asking it what it really wants. The answer you hear could give you some ideas for cultivating your interests so that you utilize your capabilities and your heartfelt need to their fullest.
Aligning our passion with our purpose allows us to foster greater growth in our lives. When we have reached the point in our careers where we feel comfortable and capable, it can be easy for us to simply become content with the way things are. Unless we consciously give ourselves challenges, however, we can become complacent and our work can stagnate. Coming back to what energizes us and feeds our soul help us continue to expand our work and develop new ideas and competencies. By getting in touch with the things that motivate you today you will enhance your professional life immensely.

by Madisyn Taylor Dear Friends, It has been two years now since I started connecting with my readers on a more personal level on the first of each month. I'm very much enjoying this space we have created, and it sounds like you are enjoying it as well. Thank you for all of your loving emails. My assistant sends me all of your wonderful notes, and I cherish them all. Somehow we have found ourselves in February, and the theme for this month is love. Love can be a slippery slope for some of us and can create powerful and confusing feelings. Love comes in so many forms: love of our family, our mate, animals, our friends, and so many more wonderful ways. Often if we haven't had good role models in life, we may confuse the feeling of love with other strong feelings. We also sometimes fall out of love and have even less guidance on how to navigate those waters. In the month of February we celebrate Valentine's Day, which most people think of as a day to celebrate romance. Whether you are in a romantic relationship or not, we can use this month as a springboard to create abundant love by making sure our friends and important people in our lives know they are loved. We really can shift the world through love, but we must have love in our own hearts first. This month I'm highlighting four online courses that are in the genre of relationships: two of them are about drawing love into your life and two of them are about healing from past love so that you may begin again on a healthy level. Manifest Your Soul Mate by Arielle Ford. This nine-week course is by my friend, Arielle. She knows what she is talking about as she manifested her soul mate, and they are one of my favorite couples. The course includes written and video work, which covers topics such as exhibiting the qualities your soul mate would be attracted to; how to release past lovers; preparing your mind, body, and spirit for a relationship; and so much more. more info Be Free from Unhealthy Relationships by Rhonda Finding. Rhonda is an author and psychotherapist whose eight-week course will help you stop obsessing about partners that are not emotionally available. Additional topics covered in this course are: stop acting desperate, increase your self-confidence, allow love to come to you, and how to get back on track if you have a setback. Lessons will offer writing exercises as well as audio advice and meditations. more info Find True Love in 27 Days by Ellen Whitehurst. This course covers topics that will help you release the fear of falling in love, release disappointment of past heartache, and attract everlasting love. Ellen offers transformational writing exercises along with tips, tricks, and techniques to help you find true love, no matter your circumstances. more info Break the Grip Of Past Lovers by Jumana Sophia. Jumana is a longtime friend of mine and really walks her talk. This is a three-week online course with a total of 21 lessons. You will learn to clear and cleanse the residual impact of past lovers, reclaim your personal power from dysfunctional relationships, restore self-respect and understanding for your feminine essence, and so much more. If you have ever wondered why a past relationship still influences you so much, this course is for you. more info Go out and give somebody a hug today, or send somebody a note telling them how much they mean to you. Be well, Madisyn Taylor |

| | Steady Beliefs, Accommodating Plans | Cancer Horoscope February 1, 2017 Your determination to fulfill all of your commitments may leave you feeling steadfast in your decisions today. While standing your ground may at first seem to best fit your needs, if you can remind yourself to remain flexible in your plans, you might find that things will flow much more smoothly. As you think more deeply about the choices facing you today, you may want to ask yourself what you care about most deeply. This conviction should be something that is steadfast and unwavering, but you might keep in mind that being more open to change in terms of reaching your goals can often give you the best results.
Being certain about what we want doesn't mean that we shouldn't allow ourselves to be accommodating and willing to change our plans if necessary. When we are tied to a particular goal it is easy for many of us to want things to work out as planned. Often, however, our plans don't turn out as we want, which can lead to disappointment, and we will be more likely to give up our ideas as a result. Understanding that things will most certainly change lets us be more receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things, and although we might be led onto a slightly different path we might find a greater amount of success--the unexpected often gives us a new and creative take on an issue. Stay open to what life has in store for you today, and you will find amazing new ways to manifest your dreams. |
