All Soul’s Day.
Praying for all the departed.
Death is a “passing from the dark to the Light.”
The limiting shroud of the body falls away.
For some it is a sleep. For awakened disciples, death is a continuance of life, the sesne of awareness is the same, for Disciples one enters into a field of Service.
Death is an Adventure.
At death we drop the veil of the physical body. We are the Soul, leaving the physical realm, releasing the elements, & returning to heaven again. To our origins.

Today….
November 2, 2022. Wednesday, Mercury’s day today.
At 11:46am (west coast), Pisces moon begins/began.
Sun Mercury & Venus in Scorpio, south node in Scorpio.
We encounter death during this time. Death of the old ways.
So the new ways can come forth.

Sunday – Daylight Savings Time ends – 2am.

Prayers for All Soul’s Day – “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.” 

Kali Yuga (our present times)
The Age of Darkness – (which we are in now).
Today, the first day of November. All Saints Day.
Creating our All Saints, All Souls altars.
November 1, 2022 – 2nd quarter moon.
Aquarius Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus in Scorpio.
Mars retrograde in Gemini. Jupiter in Pisces.
Saturn in Aquarius.

Kali Yuga
The world around us is filled with immorality, lawlessness, cruelty, materialism. One can feel alone, untethered, lost.
Between now & spring equinox, we are all working through out past as Mars retrogrades in Gemini and with the South Node in Scorpio.

One can feel cold, unsettled, wandering in the mind of where to go, what to do, how to be, where to find one’s “home, tribe, like minded people”.

Neutralizing
Humming, reciting Oms (over & over), these align & balance the chakras. Humanity is the throat chakra of the Planetary Logos (Santa Kumara, Lord of the World).

Learning about the Kali Yuga.
During the Kali Yuga, the bull of dharma is only standing on one leg. The society has fallen in ignorance & lawlessness. There is only 1/4 morality, 1/4 virtue. Truth is not perceived. The leaders are cruel, they do not tend to humanity. Their only focus is the constant gaining of power & money & the control of the “serfs” (humanity). One must focus on the Divinity within. Standing as a light in the darkness, offering that light to humanity.

South Node in Scorpio – Scorpio rules the emotional plane. North Node in Taurus – the Buddhic, intuitive plane. The south node must be cleared, before the buddhic, intuitive north node can come forth. The Dweller (Saturn) & memory and connected w/ Scorpio & Cancer (memory). We are to observe all our memories as we are in the process of integrating the past so we can pass through the Gate & meet the Angel of the Presence (Venus).

Change in sleep patterns? Are people experiencing this?
Many may not be sleeping at night. The chaos in the world may be working itself out in our bodies at night.

Tending & Caring for the Nervous System
Integrating different emotions & sensations in daily life.
Vagus nerve – important to keep the body healthy. Uranus is the central nervous system. Uranus could represent the Vagus nerve.
Noticing many clients need to balance their autonomic nervous system, which affects the heart rate. Reading about the Vagus nerve & eye movements in relation to V nervous, exercises as tool to trauma recovery. Vagus nerve is important as the heart center opens up. If interested, index Vagus in the blue books.
Be aware of the Vagus nerve to maintain one’s health & immunity. Humming balances the Vagus nerve & the two systems of nerves in the body. Vagus tone is important. Learn more about the Vagus nerve. Matthew & traumatic brain injury – on medication to stabilize the heart rate, injury to cranial nerves, etc. Prana yama, Oms, the breath, humming – all help in balancing the nervous system, etc. etc.

And Things Go Bump in the Night!
It’s Halloween!
And we HOPE something WICKED our Way comes!
Halloween, October 31, 2022.

We create our Halloween Altars.
Here we are already at Halloween!
Honoring those who have died & gone to heaven.
Honoring the fruits of the season. And the Light in the darkness.
Today – October 31, 2022. A festival day today.

Today is Halloween.
All Saints and All Souls Days (tomorrow & Wednesday).
We still have time to create altars to honor both the living & the dead.
Altars filled with marigolds, chrysanthemums, pumpkins, sugar skeletons, copal (incense), pomegranates, persimmons, pineapple guavas, candy, corn and cookies in colors orange and black (so Saturn!).

Costumes – who we might want to be?
Dressing up as a way of experimenting with different cultures, peoples & realities. Note: don’t allow anyone to curb your creativity. Don’t fall for politically correct costumes. They are SO boring? Political correctness is a way of controlling people. Don’t fall for it. BE whom/whatever you want to be. Dressing up is creative, it’s a form of experimentation. Who do you want to be?

Today Aquarius (5) Moon, Scorpio (4) Sun & Venus (5).
Samhain – the Celtic roots of Halloween.
Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and acknowledging that winter is near – we are now in the “darker half” of the year. Samhain begins on 31 October, since the Celtic day began at sunset.
Samhain is the most significant of the four quarterly fire festivals, taking place at the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice.
During this time of year, hearth fires in family homes were left to burn out while the harvest was gathered.
After the harvest work was complete, celebrants joined with Druid priests to light a community fire using a wheel that would cause friction and spark flames. The wheel was considered a representation of the sun and used along with prayers. Participants took a flame from the communal bonfire back to their home to relight their hearth. Offerings were left outside villages and fields for fairies, or Sidhs.

Source of Dressing in Costumes
It was expected that ancestors might cross over during this time , and Celts would dress as animals and monsters so that fairies were not tempted to kidnap them.

Lighting the fires of Halloween. Building an altar. Risa

As Mars stationed retrograde this morning.
at 25 degrees Gemini – retrograde till January 12th.
In its retrograde shadow till Marxh 18th, 2023.
We slip back into our inner worlds, into an almost dreamtime
state of being – recollecting, remembering, reviewing, releasing.
So – music on our inner Journey.

Lyrics
“Green fields
A cold rain is falling
in a golden dawn.”

and she’s breathing low
And the candle dies

When night comes down, you lock the door,
the book falls to the floor
As darkness falls and waves roll by,
the seasons change, the wind is warm
Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan,
behold a dream, the dream is gone

Green fields, a cold rain is falling in a golden dawn
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side, and she’s breathing low

Neutralizing the Dark
Music & words (poem) to neutralize today on this Sunday the corruption of our present government & the weaponization of all the endeavors of humanity by the Dark Forces. Justice & freedom corrupted in plain sight. On the way to November 8th – let freedom ring on that day!  Risa
