Home is the Heart of the Holidays

While Christmas music playlists often include favorites like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” there are also a handful of tracks that go a deeper.

Listen to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” or “White Christmas,” and you’ll hear a deep yearning to be home for the holidays especially when having to spend the holidays somewhere else.

December is filled with Christmas rituals – the TV specials, Live Rockefeller Christmas Lightning, the gifts,  the lights, the music, fireplace, hot chocolate, snow, and what remains is home. It is the beating heart of the holiday, and its importance reflects our primal need to have a meaningful relationship with a setting, a place that transcends the boundary between the self and the physical world.

Bliss Medium Boutique on Etsy
Etsy has a very very very strict policy. To the point where it’s almost counter-productive for them.

Etsy shops have been deactivated for trivial things like posting external links in the forums or even mentioning other marketplaces like Shopify, and WooCommerce.

As you all know, we are selling Intuitive Readings along with a digital music mantra mp3 at our Etsy shop. Etsy is a unique venue that connects buyers to individual makers and designers, and they have policies that have changed about what can be sold and the types of businesses that can sell in their marketplace.

In the Etsy marketplace, they require that we accurately represent handcrafted items in our business. After a close review, Etsy found our shop to have the following issue that our products were not 100% handmade and handcrafted even though our mantra music mp3 is actually 100% handmade and handcrafted but Etsy administration doesn’t see it that way.

There are some real violations of Etsy Terms and some real misunderstandings. We can’t tell when Bliss Medium Boutique will be back up and running but we are hoping to resolve the issue and have been thinking of connecting our handcrafted Manifesting Candles along with selling our Intuitive Readings. Thank you so much for everybody’s support for the last two years. Our Etsy shop has grown abundantly and in the meantime, everyone can still order readings through our website at IntuitiveMagazine.com and donations we take through our PayPal account which is AnswersforAwareness@gmail.com

We will continue our newsletters, and social media @intuitivemagazine on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and @intuitivemag on Twitter. You still know where to find us intuitivemagazine.com. Have a wonderful rest of December celebrating the holidays and Happy New Year!!

Self-esteem and Self-worth, you need to know that you deserve the best. Do not let anyone treat you like you are average. You get what you settle for, so aim high and surround yourself with those who recognize your self-worth, who love you, who respect you, who encourage you and build you up to a higher level.

Remember that YOU are special, and you can achieve anything.

Heart Thoughts

Your heart is the center of your power. I have learned that you can create easily and effortlessly when you let your thoughts come from the loving space of your heart. Here are a few Heart Thought Suggestions.

I Am Free to Be Me

When we experience sadness, or get upset, give yourself a physical release. There are several methods you can use to release these feelings in positive ways. You can scream in the car with the windows closed. You can kick pillows, make noise and say all the things you want to say. You can scream into a pillow, run around a track, or play a game like tennis to release the energy and those physical tensions you store in your body!

I Create Wonderful New Beliefs about Myself

These are some beliefs that can really help you in your life if you think or say them every day:

I am always safe.

Everything I need to know is revealed to me.

Everything I need comes to me in the perfect time sequence.

Life is a joy and filled with love.

I am willing to change and to grow.

 

It’s Only a Thought and a Thought Can Be Changed

How many times have you refused to think a positive thought about yourself? Well, you can refuse to think negative thoughts about yourself, too. People say, “I can’t stop thinking a thought.” Yes, you can!

You have to make up your mind that it’s what you’re going to do. You don’t have to fight your thoughts when you want to change things. When that negative inner voice comes up, you can affirm, “Thank you for sharing, and I’m choosing to do something else. I don’t want to buy into that anymore, I want to create another way of thinking.”

Acknowledge your thoughts, don’t fight them and go beyond them.

Louise Hay’s Heart Thoughts is a charming and valuable treasure trove of small pieces of inner wisdom that can guide you through any problem you might face. Now presented in a unique gift format with beautiful illustrations to warm your heart all over again.

MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE IN SAGITTARIUS

Mercury is Retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius from today December 3 to 22, 2017.

There is absolutely a positive side to Mercury Retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting. We look at the world a little differently–through different filters–and can come up with some very important inner revelations. It may be difficult to communicate them under this influence, but not everything needs to be explained.

Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness, when meditation, yoga, deep breathing, benefiting from keeping a journal, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored. Mercury retrograde is powerful for studies, especially for returning to old studies or for re-learning or refreshing knowledge in a subject already taken.

Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication can actually re-connect us to other means of communication, such as when there is an unexpected power outage and we’re forced off the computer and television, finding different and often satisfying ways to entertain ourselves.

Not everyone feels the stronger effects of Mercury retrograde. Some people born with Mercury retrograde in their natal chart, feel that they don’t experience the classic Mercury Retrograde confusion effects as intensely as others, while others do.
Pay close attention to what you communicate in general, specifically around the days of Mercury’s stations (December 3rd and 22nd), as well as around retrograde Mercury’s conjunction to the Sun on December 12th (midway between the start and end of the retro period). When a planet stations, its energies are very strong in our lives. When Mercury stations, communications have more impact, so that negative ones could have long-term implications at this time. However, when you are very clear within yourself and about what you are communicating, this will be a positive time.

It is going to be a big month in astrology as there are lots of  shifts and changes taking place. These shifts are going to help shower us with new energy and new outlook for the year ahead. Trust, whatever unfolds as you move forward into December, and know that when truth is revealed, and new information comes to the surface, it is for your highest good.

As the culmination point to all of this energy, really use tonight’s Full Moon as an opportunity to congratulate yourself for just how far you have come and to celebrate for new beginnings.

Life is simply a string of experiences. We are here to learn things, to share things, and to expand our wisdom and our hearts. It is important that we take time to honor this, and honor the progress we are making.

Cooking for your Spirit- ThanksGIVING

In honor of the essence of Thanksgiving, we came up with a few new creative ways to express gratitude to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. Gratitude has been linked to everything from improving happiness, body image, sleep, life, you name it. Instead of consuming spirits we Celebrate this year in the True Spirit of Thanksgiving! It is a gentle reminder to love those at our tables and beyond.

For some a little planning can go a long way especially when you have a history of disordered eating. In the midst of this food-focused holiday event could be far from a relaxing night with friends and family. It is hard to separate events being based in food from the part that is about connecting with people. For those who are trying to prevent triggers to an internal battle with bulumia, binge eating, and anorexia, the holidays are certainly among those experiences to be vulnerable and to know that you are not alone.

Eating disorders often bring about an internal fracturing of mind, body and spirit. It may feel like you have been trapped in your mind by eating disorder thoughts that disconnect you from your body and spirit. Recovery involves reintegrating the mind, body, and spirit, creating an internal sense of wholeness. To embrace this holiday season with the intention of healing  Cooking for your Spirit    is a healthy guide that lends courage and strength when struggling, and gives a way to express gratitude when all is well.

Thanksgiving Blessings,

love, #krishna
