CELEBRATE LOVE

Posted on by

Beloved,

Here in the Northeast we are awaiting the strongest burst from this
predicted Nor’easter or Blizzard. Schools are closed and the
governor has asked everyone to stay off the roads if possible and
recommended that all employees leave at noon to get home before the
worst sets in. When I got up this morning, it was snowing but JUST
knowing about the storm I feel compelled to be lazy and just hang
around in my pj’s. I usually get this newsletter out to you a lot
earlier in the day but I just can’t seem to “make” myself be focused
and active. This is strange for me as Friday is the busiest day in
the week for me as I write to you and then I prepare what I am going
to say on my weekly TV Show and then write the script and then am off
to produce my show.

Well, the studio has been closed down because of the storm so I have
no deadline to get all the preparations done and what am I doing?
Actually nothing, just listening and reading emails that I have not’
been able to get to. I am sitting here in my pj’s with the heater
blowing nice warm air on me. Yesterday I was busy preparing for
“Matters of the Heart Psychic Fair” in Milford, Ma on Sunday Feb 10th.
That event has been postponed until next Sunday, Feb 17 so there is
no immediate necessary preparation for it. If you are interested in
attending, just send me an email and I will forward you the info.

What is about an impending storm that makes you want to curl up,
have hot cocoa and read a good book? My thought on that is that
we don’t give ourselves many opportunities to just chill out and do
nothing. NOW, we have an excuse. I propose that we just allow
ourselves more opportunities like this without feeling any guilt
over not being busy. Even the birds are acting strangely. Usually
the birds are all over the feeders just before a storm in order to
fill up but there were no birds at my feeders this morning. Do you
know why? If you do, please email me and let me know. Maybe they
just want to curl up in the bushes and wait it out but it is unusual.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY BELOVED! You are beloved as I see the Love
in you and the LOVE that our Creator has for you.

History of Valentines

In ancient Rome, the 14th of February was a celebration honoring
Juno, Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. This is the equivalent
of celebrating the Divine Mother or Divine Feminine energy. The
following day the Lupercian Festival was held in honor of the God
of Fertility. During these festivities young men would choose the
name of a single young woman from a jar and would spend not only the
festival time, but the following year courting her. This often
resulted in marriage.

When Claudius II became Emperor,however, all that changed. Having
difficulty recruiting young men as soldiers,he determined they were
unwilling to leave their sweethearts. All engagements and marriages
were cancelled. Nonetheless, a Catholic Bishop named Valentine,
who understood the true nature of love, began secretly marrying
young couples. He paid for his treasonous act with his life. The
church later renamed the celebration of the Divine Mother and it
became known as St. Valentine’s day.

This is a day that we can chill out with those we love, let us
do just that. Valentine’s Day is to celebrate LOVE in all of its
forms, it is not just for a special someone although it is a
wonderful to do that also. In fact, let’s make every day Valentine’s
Day, make every day a day to celebrate Love with everyone. What
a wonderful world this would be.

“‘When the flower blooms, the bee comes uninvited. ~Ramakrishna’

When the path of love returns us to its true dwelling place,
unconditional love is discovered right here in our own heart, with
no strings attached; yet it continually invites the flower of our
being to blossom. When it does, “the bees come uninvited,” but you
may no longer care whether they do or don’t. You are content to be
Love-simple, open, intimate, undivided. “Alyssa”

“Perhaps our Valentine is the whole universe and You are it! You are
the expression of its Love.”

Have you heard of the BILLIONS RISING that is being celebrated on
February 14th? All over the world people are joining together or at
least celebrating. Here are two links that will give you the ideas
behind this.

A LETTER OF LOVE

Posted on by

Beloved,

I call you Beloved because you are BELOVED by me. I want
to express my gratitude to you for being a recipient of my newsletter
list and allowing me to share with you a small part of my life. I so
enjoy sharing the news that I discover and also the new things I have
become aware of. By allowing me into your life even if it is only
for a moment, you bestow upon me a great gift. A gift is truly
only a gift if it is accepted and you do that with such loving
acceptance.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Begin the day by loving yourself and then spread it around. There
are so many forms of love and they are all equally important. There
is the love for your mate, for your children, for your parents, for your
friends, for your pets and also your Creator. There is no law that says
you cannot love yourself, in fact, you need to begin by filling yourself
with that LOVE so you will have an abundance to give away. This is
a day to celebrate LOVE and not just a day for romantic love. Even
if you do not have a mate or partner, just think of all the people who
love you including the many spiritual beings who are always with you.

Here is how Valentine’s Day started, it is quite interesting .
The Ultimate Valentine

February 14th has always been held as the sacred day to celebrate

love. How did we come to this tradition?

History of Valentines

In ancient Rome the 14th of February was a celebration honoring
Juno, Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. This is the
equivalent of celebrating the Divine Mother or Divine Feminine
energy. The following day the Lupercian Festival was held in
honor of the God of Fertility. During these festivities young
men would choose the name of a single young woman from
a jar and would spend not only the festival time, but the
following year courting her. This often resulted in marriage.

When Claudius II became Emperor, however, all that changed.
Having difficulty recruiting young men as soldiers, he
determined they were unwilling to leave their sweethearts.
All engagements and marriages were canceled. Nonetheless,
a Catholic Bishop named Valentine, who understood the true
nature of love, began secretly marrying young couples. He
paid for his treasonous act with his life. The church later
renamed the celebration of the Divine Mother and it became
known as St. Valentine’s day.

I retell this story to point out the origin, which was based
entirely upon the union of the Divine Feminine and the
Divine Masculine in celebration of fertility and the
continued expression of love in new form. This rite of
union has been celebrated under different names in every
tradition world-wide. Whether one is honoring what
Valentine stood for, Juno, Beltane or the myriad other
rites, they each stand for this sacred union.

There is another wonderful thing going on today. A reason to be
here on Earth. If you do not make the world sound at noon today, j
just join in at anytime today that you are able and you will be joining
with multitudes around the world. Whenever you join in, it will be
noon somewhere and you will not be alone. Enjoy.

World Sound Healing Day: The Sound Heard Around the World.
Every February 14th, people throughout the planet join
together with their intentionalized sound to project a sonic
valentine of love & appreciation to Gaia, our Earth Mother.
We tone the heart sound “Ah” for a minimum of 5 minutes, and
of course longer if your schedule permits. Often people will
gather groups together and facilitate this toning experience
in their respective communities. If possible, we ask that
you take at least 5 minutes to tone at 12 noon Eastern time,
and as always, we encourage the sounding of the “Ah” by
yourself or with a group at any time during the course of
the day.

On World Sound Healing Day, sound healers, meditators, peace
activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient
consciousness send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the
heart sound “AH” filled with the intention of Peace and
Love! (visit: www.healingsounds.com for more information
on this event and to download an “AH” sound you can tone
along with). This is an opportunity in which YOU can partake
in to assist Global Harmonization–the process of creating
harmony and peace on the Earth.
The event culminates at noon Eastern Time. That’s when
everyone will join together to send out healing sounds
together.
