All eclipses change our electromagnetic resonance.

1. It’s a Black Moon or Lilith Moon-the most magical and mysterious as there are no Full Moon’s this February a rarity which occurs once every 20 years.

2. It’s also the Ancient pagan festival of LUPERCALIA or WOLF

The Lupercalia was the ancient annual Roman {pagan} festival conducted on February 15.  The origins of the festival are obscureand suggest a connection with an ancient deity who protected herds from wolves and with the legendary she-wolf who nursed Romulus and Remus.

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

You just can’t make this stuff up! Happy Valentine Day, everyone! You know, I must say, while today is known as a day of love, right now it is really more about change, and the new beginnings which you can create for yourself. Remember back when I said that the changes around the holidays may not have put you in the scenario you dream of, but that the holidays were likely greatly improved over years past? That is what this Valentine Day is like for those who are not with the one they love, or havenot found someone to love. The changes you are making in your life each day are what will lead you to that desired destination.

The timing of this Ace of Wands is simply perfect! Divine Intervention from the Universe can help to provide the new beginnings you seek, maybe not today, but the fire…

Card of the Day – 10 of Swords – Tuesday, February 13, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Please, please, do not say, “Oh, woe is me! The 10 of Swords! Ugh!”. At some point in everyone’s life, you can hit rock bottom, and the only way to go from there is up. There are remedies to the situations which are stessing you out; remember, I have deemed this first part of the year 2018 as recovery mode. The steps you are taking, and the energy which the Universe is providing, as it conspires on your behalf, are enabling you to overcome a situation which has stressed you out for a very long time.

When life feels down and out, and you feel betrayed by the Universe, and everyone in it, it is difficult to recognize the fact that things can, and do, change. Today, you can seek remedies which will aid you in your ongoing recovery from a long bout of life’s betrayals. Gather your intentions for…

Aquarius New Moon~Partial Solar Eclipse

Patti Burgess's avatarSpirit of the Mountain Astrology

In the circle of life, we are 180 degrees from The Great American Total Solar Eclipse of last summer.  On February 15, 2018, at 1:05 p.m. PST we will experience a New Moon ~ Partial Solar Eclipse at 27 Degrees Aquarius 07′.  This eclipse is nearly an exact opposition to the Leo New Moon ~ Total Solar Eclipse experienced in August 2017.  While it is on the same axis of Leo/Aquarius, it occurs in the opposite sign reflecting the significant difference between the two: Leo a fiery fixed social sign with a giant heart who needs acknowledgment vs. Aquarius an intellectual, humanitarian self-sufficient fixed air sign who walks their path in life without seeking approval.  Last summer we were emotionally focused on individuality: me, myself, and I: Who am I?  What do I want?  Where am I going in life?  As the emotional waters of life ran through us during the past…

Interested In Learning Traditional Japanese Reiki? Here’s Our February Special Rate Just For You!

Two-Week Special – February 11-28, 2018

One of the primary energyworking modalities The Halau at ‘Aha Hui Lanakila, Inc., teaches is Usui Teate Reiki (original knowledge Japanese Reiki/Gakkai system).

And, if you’ve wondered, “What is Reiki?” you’re not alone!

There has been a great deal of debate about exactly what Reiki is. Most practitioners agree that it is a form of life/healing energy, but beyond that the various schools differ, with some being much more esoteric than others. The word itself can be broken down into the component parts of “Rei” (pronounced ‘ray’) and “Ki” (pronounced ‘key’).

The Japanese language has many different levels of meaning within it. Some levels are very basic while others are highly esoteric. “Rei” literally means spirit, ghost, soul, in the heavens or of spirits; but also denotes universal energy. “Ki” also means spirit and, some argue, is essentially the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese description of “Chi”, which means life force energy. The word Reiki, therefore, can be taken to refer to a balanced universal life force energy.

Because of its unique qualities Reiki seems to have a basic consciousness which, when used for healing, is able to provide exactly what is needed on all levels.

For the next two weeks, at a discounted tuition rate of $275.00 USD, The Hālau is offering new students instruction and training in original knowledge Usui Teate Reiki basics, through Level 4, where students will be awarded Certificates of Rank confirming their status as a Reiki Sensei Shinpiden, also known as Reiki Master-Teacher (RMT).

 

That’s $525.00 off our normal Basic Reiki course, which normally includes both Usui Teate (Traditional Japanese/Usui Gakkai lineage) and Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki (Western/Takata system)!

If you are already a Western Reiki practitioner, now is your opportunity to study Usui Teate Reiki only!

 


Here is how just obtaining an Usui Teate Reiki Level 1 Certification TRANSFORMS YOU into an Invincible Healer:


  • Build your confidence, expertise, and knowledge of doing Energy Scans and Channeled Prayer
  • Enjoy the most amazing energy vortex that allows you to live a more blissful and joyful life filled with miracles

Introvert’s Love Spell

thiscrookedcrown's avatarThis Crooked Crown

Meeting people when you’re an introvert is hard. Being introverted doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re socially awkward but rather than you have a limited amount of energy to use on social interactions. Even small interactions like answering an email or saying hi to the neighbor as you walk to your door can be tiring. Talking to clerks at the store or going out to run errands in general can be exhausting. When you run out of energy to socialize, you need to recuperate. Alone time, even if you’re not actually alone physically, to rest your mind and nerves.

Or, at least, that’s how it is for me. I’m a hermit and quite happily an introvert.

Anyway, being introverted means that you’re probably not visiting crowded places often so you’re not likely to meet new people as often. This makes it hard, especially as an adult, to make new friends or…
