It would be stating the obvious to write that we’re living in turbulent times, but it feels like the right words to begin with as the turbulence is creating a maelstrom of chaotic energy that is felt on every level

Each month, join author and energy healer Natasha Levinger as she reads the communal energy to predict what’s in store for us in the weeks ahead.

Bring a little bit of autumn indoors. Family and friends help create this wreath by sharing what they are thankful for on brightly colored leaves.

Inner Journey:
DEEPER COMMUNICATION
“Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.”
— Virginia Satir
How do you typically communicate? Is it through words, gestures, emotions, thoughts, desires, needs, truths, direct perception or intuition? Do you focus more on the other person or on yourself? Do you typically tell, ask or listen?
For a few days, set an intention to be aware of your communication styles and skills. After you’ve spent some time talking with someone, reflect on what your underlying motives were and what level of depth you reached. Write your insights in your journal. This exercise will help you become more aware and conscious of who you are and why you do what you do.
“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”
— Thomas Moore
“You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight to our hearts.”
— Cochise

Awareness
“Eden is that old-fashioned House
We dwell in every day
Without suspecting our abode
Until we drive away.”
-Emily Dickinson
It’s kind of like that song that goes: “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone…” Know what you’ve got – you’ve got SO much!!! We have everything, all of nature, all of creation, all of the infinite possibilities for our lives. And we’ve got it right here, and right now – open up your awareness to it, accept it, embrace it!
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Tower
Some days something blows up and there’s nothing you can do. It has nothing to do with you, actually; you just happen to be there. While today will probably be uneventful, you may feel emotionally vulnerable and find yourself imaging one worst case scenario after another. Consider these imaginings as drills or dress rehearsals and don’t let any of this unnerve you. You’re fine and will be fine no matter what.
