This colorful and yummy side dish is really easy to prepare and gorgeous to look at.  Pan searing the vegetables before putting them in the oven really brings out the natural flavor of the ingredients.  A big thanks to the Berkeley Bowl in Berkeley, CA for always having the most gorgeous organic produce at a great price!

DO YOU have the courage to stand up and Live Free? The majority of America refuses to fight what the rest of the world sees … Silence to all the wrongs we all know about (from FB, among other places) means CONSENT, i.e., tacit agreement, to continued poisoning of our food, water and air; poisoning via vaccine; and corporate enslavement via RFID chips, outrageous taxation, licensing fees, insurance, mortgages, bank fees and real-time police harassment. If you’ve given your permission to continue the present status quo through your tacit agreement to all of these wrongdoings, your head remains in the sand by helping the Cabal keep their systems intact … and that keeps the misery going for us all. Take responsibility and BE PRESENT NOW … Read on, if you’ve got the guts TO BE.

Want to look like a rock star at your next gathering?  These delectable dessert cups are simple to throw together, quick to cook and will take whatever dessert you put in them to the next level.  If you don’t like coconut, you could always switch it up and use slivered almonds, graham cracker crumb, chocolate shavings or even cinnamon.

~MEDIUMSHIP~

It is something that not a lot of people understand, and more than that, it is something that not a lot of people realize they use, or even know that they have the ability for.

The Sixth Sense. We all know what it is.

Okay, most of us know what it is, but lots of us don’t know that we can all utilize it, and even more people on this planet, due to all of the wrong representation of it in movies, on television, and in books, are too scared to use this one gift from Spirit.

There is nothing to be afraid of 

This is not to say that there are not ugly energies that can and do seep through the veil between consciousness and are the types of energies that are malevolent. However, this IS to say that there are ways to use this in your everyday…

LIBRA LUNAR ECLIPSE

Susan Levitt's avatarSusan Levitt

dove loveFULL MOON ECLIPSE in LIBRA

April 4, 2015 at 5:05 am PT is a full Moon eclipse in Libra. Air sign Libra rules the 7th house of partnerships and marriage. Strong relationships will deepen, and weaker ones benefit from bringing to light relationships issues that need to be transformed.

This eclipsed full Moon is opposite the Sun, Mercury and Uranus all in Aries. Subjective full Moon feelings could run counter to a sense of logic. Now might not be best to make decisions that later cannot be changed. Fresh ideas can be inspirational, but perhaps impulsive under the influence of fiery Aries.

Fortunately, Jupiter in Leo trines this Sun, Mercury, and Uranus conjunction. There are opportunities to restore your health, create a new personal style of communicating, and develop more empathy. But Pluto in Capricorn squares the Sun, full Moon, and Uranus bringing a play for power. Self control brings…

Astrology update from March to April 2015 … interesting!

Grandtrines's avatarGrandtrines

We present, here, a series of patterns in April 2015 that are after the Solar Eclipse of March 2015 and immediately preceding the Lunar Eclipse of April 2015.

First, the Hele and Thor’s Hammer of April 1st:

April 3rd of 2015, the day before the Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon of April 2015), proves to be an active day in terms of patterns with a Focused Yod and Stretched Pentagram manifesting in the sky.

We note that a variant of this Focused Yod shows again during the Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon of April 2015).  You may also want to compare this period of your life with the period surrounding the Stretched Pentagram of January 2013.

Lunar Eclipse of April 2015 (Full Moon of April 2015)

We present the chart for the Lunar Eclipse of April 2015 (Full Moon of April 2015).  You may also wish to read Early April Patterns, Late March Patterns, and about the Solar Eclipse and Vernal Equinox of March 2015.  We first filter the chart to highlight squares, oppositions, and T-Squares:

Full Lunar Eclipse 2015-04-04 T-Squares

[Click Image to Enlarge]

We note enough squares and oppositions to “get things done.”  You will want to wrap up the growth oriented activities of the past two weeks by the time this Lunar Eclipse (and Full Moon culminates) so that you can shift your energies to “house cleaning” and discarding old projects that did not work after the culmination.  After the culmination of this FM, you will want to begin your “spring cleaning” if you have not already done so.  (In Australia, you would begin preparing for Winter.)

Worthy of note: (1) the Neptune line near Los Angeles (good for the film and entertainment industry; bad for people who use alcohol and drugs to excess); (2) Mercury line near Dallas (and your astrologer); (3) Venus line between New York City and Boston; (4) Pluto line through Indiana, Kentucky, and near Nashville (big changes!); and (5) a Mars line from Michigan through the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia.  How do these affect your region?  Take the applicable planet (Neptune, Mercury, and so forth) and look for its place in the patterns discussed in the Lunar Eclipse of April 2015 analysis.

Artist Uses Brain Waves of Her Emotions to Manipulate Water

 

“The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what it is.”- Baruch Spinoza 

“Eunoia” is a performance that uses my brainwaves — collected via EEG sensor– to manipulate the motions of water. It derives from the Greek word “ey” (well) + “nous” (mind) meaning “beautiful thinking”. EEG is a brainwave detecting sensor. It measures frequencies of my brain activity (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Theta) relating to my state of consciousness while wearing it. The data collected from EEG is translated in realtime to modulate vibrations of sound with using software programs. EEG sends the information of my brain activity to Processing, which is linked with Max/MSP to receive data and generate sound from Reaktor.” – Lisa Park

“Eunoia II is outfitted with 48 vibration pools, inspired by the 48 emotions philosopher Baruch Spinoza outlined in his book, Ethica, like frustration, excitement, engagement, and meditation. Each speaker vibrates according to Park’s brain wave-interpreting algorithm, which tranforms intense signals from Park’s Emotiv EEG headset into intense vibrations in the pools of water atop speakers. The modulation of the sound (volume, speed, panning) occurs in real-time in response to her emotional values detected by EEG headset. Here, Park is literally putting her inner struggles on display, and the whole show depends on how she deals with her feelings. The calmer she is, the less vibrations of the sound happen.”

Tonight’s theme:  Change is inevitable; struggle is an option!

The Wisdom:

Change!
Stripping away the old skin.
Making way for
Revolution

One thing is a constant in our universe, that is change, and now as there is a great shifting of energies on planet earth: prepare as it is now reflected on your life path.

Necessity and opportunity are now combined, making this a rarified time where your power to make positive change is at its most dynamic. It is a time that can carry you to heights you have not before imagined. No need to rush or panic, there will be time to do what must be done. And have no doubts the changes you have desired and dreamed are active as never before.

Change is going to occur; it’s an inevitable construct of time, space, Universe.  That is why we are taking the time to revisit some of the most powerful techniques for self development that exist.  These techniques are within your grasp, at no cost to you except for the investment of your Time.  Once again, this evening, we revisit the topic of meditation because meditation is one of the most powerful techniques available to you that provides the essential elements to managing change. The more you can practice these techniques, the quicker your changes will come.

You can find more of my meditations as The Halau on ReverbNation (http://www.reverbnation.com/thehalau) as well as on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/TheHalau).
