March Quotes
“All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair
The bees are stirring, birds are on the wing,
And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of spring.”
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Spirit Library: Accept the Healing Being Offered
Kate Spreckley
For eons dualistic thinking has dominated our world and entangled us in a web of patterns and structures that created a distortion within our human consciousness. This distortion left us trapped in feelings of separation, division, and isolation

Spirituality & Health: Working With the Phases of the Moon
BY KALIA KELMENSON
If you feel especially pulled by the moon, it’s helpful to know what phase it’s in. Then you can plan or adjust accordingly.
As a surfer, and as I woman, I am intertwined with the power of the moon. I’ve experienced how the moon exerts its force on the tides in the ocean, and have felt the pull of my internal tides, responding to the rhythm of the lunar cycles.

Elephant Journal: Virgo Full Moon: An Invitation to Be with What Is. {March 18}
An older, white-bearded man with a hooded robe stands with staff in one hand, eyes cast slightly downward, standing on top of the snow-capped peak of a mountain, the other hand holding a bright-lit lantern, only illuminating his next few steps forward. For those unfamiliar with traditional Tarot, this is the image depicted on the “Hermit” card.

Inner Journey:
BRING SOUL INTO THE WORLD
“We live in a culture that is greatly biased against the imagination, because our culture is very materialistic, objective and literal. Our culture lacks soul, and doesn’t know it, although it experiences the consequences. When you don’t know what’s missing, then of course you don’t know what to bring in, even though you feel something is missing.
“We live in a world that needs more soul, more meaning. We, as conscious beings, have, as our primary responsibility, at this time in human history, the task of bringing soul into the world, or releasing soul into the world. We do this, first of all, in ourselves and in our own personal world; then we do it in our groups – including family; then we do it in our society through our work, relationships and presence there.”
— Andrew Schneider

A Note from the Universe
A master’s awareness of spiritual laws directs him or her to manifest major life changes by working with their thoughts, not by working harder.
Which isn’t to say they don’t sometimes work very long hours, because they do; they just don’t think of it as work.
Which also isn’t to say they all have cool jobs that anyone would love, because they don’t; they just see every task before them as a step on the path leading to happily-ever-after.
Hmmmmm…

Daily Wisdom

Intelligence
“Intelligence is not something possessed once for all. It is in constant process of forming, and its retention requires constant alertness in observing consequences, an open-minded will to learn and courage in re-adjustment.”
-John Dewey (1895-1952)
IQ tests are one measurement of intelligence. It is interesting to note that one person’s score on a test can change, indicating that the person’s intelligence can change. We can actually teach ourselves to think smarter. One way to do this is through meditation, tapping into the wisdom of the universe
