Intuition Tip #6
Your clarity of mind, attitude, motivation, and productivity will increase simply by learning to prefer and choose whole-body and whole-brain perception. "Being in your head" too much — specifically in your left brain — is exhausting and contributes to inhumane solutions, mediocrity, intolerance, negativity, frustration, and emotional acting out. Establish a habit of opening and expanding your awareness as often as possible.

1. At the beginning and end of the day.
EXERCISE
Before you leave for work, or at your desk before you dig into a task, center yourself and drop into your body in the here-and-now. Connect with the day, feel the goodness of what is to come, dedicate yourself to enjoying all the people in your life, and to learning something. Then see where you want to begin, what you see being accomplished by the end of the day. Before you leave to go home, do the same thing: how did the day go? Leave with a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure.

Tree Trimming Gone Wrong
A DREAM INTERPRETED
In the dream, the trees in a woman's yard were being trimmed from their overgrown lush state to a severely reduced size. The woman was mortified and worried that the trees would go into shock and die. Upon role-playing the trees, she saw that it was her own higher consciousness speaking to her about reining in her spending and examining the emotional underpinnings of her sizable debt. She needed to pull back, develop clear boundaries, communicate her needs very clearly, and make do with less. By collecting her energy, and ridding herself of excess, she would have the resources to move forward purposefully, with renewed life, at her next growth spurt.

Quote
—"There is no such thing as rising up and out of an emotion you’ve never let yourself feel. Once a feeling has gone into your body, or hit your psyche in any way at all, it won’t just go away; it has to be made conscious and expressed in order to release. For emotional healing to prevail, we must enter fully into whatever is left unprocessed, and ride it all the way through until the pent-up energy is drained off the issue. Then, it is finished, never to command your attention or psychic energy again.
— Because your emotional body functions like water, whatever emotions build up in your body will gently stir you, or erupt like a torrential storm at sea when your feelings run high. If blocked, they store themselves in your cells, closing your heart, and giving you the false idea that it’s not safe or “spiritual” to feel negative feelings such as anger or deep grief.
— Your emotional body, in order to heal, must use techniques that empty out the feelings with compassion and no judgment. Then, your emotional body will be calm and transparent to meet each present moment with the pristine clarity of the truth of every situation and every relationship you encounter, no longer contaminated with old, unprocessed feelings. A lake with no ripples will perfectly reflect the sky (or truth)."

WHAT'S REAL UNDERNEATH?
We are entering a period, especially beginning in November, marked by the penetration of spirituality and awareness into and through the physical world in practical forms. One friend called it the "Buck Stops Here" movement, where prosperity will be tied to being down-to-earth and environmentally responsible.

Astrologically, there are 2 eclipses in August, the first, on Aug 1 was solar, and unusually strong, causing a disquieting breakthrough energy. Actually, this is a meaningful opportunity to step into your power, embody the perfection of who you are, and activate a fuller expression of your inner blueprint. Specifically it touches on the dilemma of "Do I put myself first, or work with the group?" The two weeks between the eclipse points may well be erratic and tense, concerning personal ambition. The partial lunar eclipse on Aug 16 helps usher in the ego's transformation via greater sensitivity and intuitive awareness.

COOL STUFF
Netflix Recommendation:
IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH. I usually avoid war-related movies, but this one is part mystery and doesn't fit the formulas, plus, it has Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron, and Susan Sarandon. It leaves you with a lasting soft echo and makes you think just a little more deeply.
