“It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” ~ Tom Robbins

We have every single archetype that has ever been imagined living within us. And, whether it’s active or dormant, it’s still there. If everything that can be imagined can ‘come true’ and the action of perceiving something can cause it to change, then which archetypes we chose to focus on in our lives is entirely up to us dependent on what our soul wishes to learn and express in this lifetime… so which one do you most identify with?

Though all six are to be found somewhere within us, there is more likely than not to be one that you can use to close the doors on your past for good and reawaken the innocence that so longs to flow out.

Don’t have time to meditate all day? Don’t feel like you’re at that point yet? It’s hard, I get it.

So instead, to get you excited and to give you a little taste of what is possible. There are a few tricks you can use to give yourself a kick start into the world of expanded awareness, and evolved consciousness. They are really easy super fun and will literally BLOW YOUR MIND!. So why not? You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

“An essential part of the awakening is the recognition of the unawakened you, the ego as it thinks, speaks, and acts, as well as the recognition of the collectively conditioned mental processes that perpetuate the unawakened state” – Eckhart Tolle

There is no doubt the Earth is evolving spiritually. People are experiencing intense changes within their life, work, behaviors and personal relationships. Many are awakening at a rate that can only be described as phenomenal. So how do we know if we are awakening? Here are 25 common characteristics you may find in yourself and others.

Some of you may experience things not on this list and I encourage you to share your experiences in the comments below. We are all unique and many of us are experiencing phenomenon that are difficult to explain at this time. We are all learning from each other.

People have come up with some interesting, yet creative ways of recycling their old furniture into some of the most beautiful garden decorations. Using old pianos, broken pots, and anything else really. All it takes is a little hard work and dedication, but it’s definitely possible to create your own enchanted garden.

One of the amazing things about using these old furnishings as decorations is that the sky is the limit. There is no end to the possibilities of what you could create with the rusting bathtub you have lying around. Or even an old, but stunning bed frame with flowers adorned all over the fixtures. Instead of having silk and lace, you could have vines as drapes with a menagerie of flowers spread out all over the vines! Who knew this would be a good way to recycle?

SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE   Like the eaglet, you must first be fed by your mama. This is like receiving information from other sources such as books, videos and conversations with those who feed you information to help you grow. Just as an eaglet sheds its baby feathers, so must humans shed their fears and out-dated belief codes in order to be able to fly.

As negative belief codes are shed, allowing you to be in your integrity and to speak your truth, the freer you become. Like the eagle, you can soar higher and higher, playing with the thermals and keeping a sharp eye out for your next meal, simply living in the moment, flowing with life while taking care of your basic needs. As you mature, it is time to leave the nest.

For humans, this is a time for introspection, going within and learning to rely on yourself. Each of you must make this solo flight if you want to reach your highest potential. It is your choice to create the path you wish to walk, taking responsibility for each step along the way. As you get better at making choices that lead you toward your desired destiny, life gets easier and more profound. This is like the eagle that has mastered his flight patterns and is adept at catching his prey in order to sustain himself.

“For all things produced in a garden whether of salads or fruits, a poor man will eat better that has one of his own, than a rich man that has none.” – John Claudius Lourdes, Scottish Botanist 1783-1843

While early spring is often too cold to start many plants in the ground, it is a perfect time to get outside and enjoy the warming weather by starting a container herb garden. There is nothing quite like working with the sun on your shoulders and your hands in the dirt as you tend plants until they yield a harvest.

The act of working with the earth, under the blue sky and helping something grow is very therapeutic. A study in the Neuroscience Journal from 2007 found that exposure to the bacteria found in dirt boosts Serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that affects sleep cycles, moods and memory. Low levels of serotonin are linked to aggression, anxiety and depression. Many gardeners already know that running their naked finger through the soil not only makes their spirits soar but grounds them in the shifting of the seasons.

In some ways, discovering who you are is a lifelong journey, and no matter how much you think you know about yourself, there is more to be found. Astrologically, this endless journey begins with your Sun.

The Sun versus the Moon and Rising

The Sun represents your inner, true self-the you that comes out when you’re around those you know best. This is different from your Rising, which represents your outer self, the way you come across, and the facade you have. It also differs from your Moon, which represents your emotional self, the way you emotionally react in situations, and what you need for emotional security. The Moon is needs while the Sun is wants; the Rising is your mask while the Sun is your face.
