Meditation is nature’s best healer.  It allows the body to reach a state of harmonic resonance, which puts the body into a state of regeneration.  When people feel ill, they often turn towards prescription medication without a second thought.  But what if meditation could cure and even prevent some diseases?

90% of all diseases and illnesses are either caused or aggravated by stress, and meditation is a great way to reduce the impact negative emotions have on our bodies and nervous systems.  A shift in consciousness causes a shift in biology, and when you are peaceful and calm during meditation, you release chemicals such as seratonin, oxytocin, and dopamine which help stabilize the immune system and regenerate your energy systems.  It also prevents the release of things like adrenaline and cortisol, which are completely taxing to the body.

Mercury enters Gemini on April 30th

The start of Mercury in Gemini is on April 30th.

Enters Retrograde Shadow (starts slowing) on May 4th at 4 degrees Gemini.

Turns Retrograde at 13 degrees Gemini on May 18th – June 11th

Turns Direct on June 11th at 4 degrees Gemini

Clears Retrograde Shadow on June 27th (passes 13 degree Gemini)

Mercury squares Neptune 3 times (9 degrees Gemini to Pisces) during it’s retrograde suggesting a dissolving effect (confusion – thinking you have the facts/data/assumptions correct when they are yet to be fully formed) on your opinions, plans, and perception of children, siblings and friendships.

Dates to be extra mindful of decisions/discussions are May 9th, May 29th and June 23rd while simultaneously understanding that something is in the forming/molding/gestation stage as Mercury is also positively contacting the North Node in Libra (the inner relationship/integrating your duality of thinking one thing and doing another in relationships). The future is taking shape but patience is a virtue…

Yes, it’s true: Everyone can channel, which basically means getting tuned with higher beings and connected with the spiritual world to bring information and messages from them. Many people have been doing this without even realizing they are channeling with their Angels, Guides, Ascended Masters and other light beings, because people usually think that these beings show themselves in a 3D body or talking to them loudly. It could be the case, of course, but when people still have the veil and has not being awaken yet, is not common that they will see those higher beings with their physical eyes or listen to them with their physical ears at the beginning. Usually the spiritual world communicates with people through visions, thoughts, our inner voice, flashes of inspiration or a download of ideas.

So to start to channel, it really helps to be in a quite space and be able to relax; in that way you can get your left brain focused and at the same time your right brain, which is your creative side, will be open and ready to receive and listen to your intuition, the most common way they use to communicate with us.

Dear Ones, if you haven’t been being true to yourselves, how can you expect the universe to respond to your emanations in a way that is satisfying to you? It is like holding the vibration of apples while desiring oranges. The fastest way to a life that is truly a reflection of who you really are is to shine brightly, clearly, and gloriously in your unique truth and energy, and from that pure expression of self, you will draw to you your perfect matches and experiences. ~Archangel Gabriel

We all love music. Sometimes all it takes is one song to completely alter our mood and prepare us for the day ahead. But how does it actually do that? What happens when our brains hear the music? Recent scientific studies reveal how music can benefit your brain and what exactly happens in different brain areas when you listen to music.

Music is sort of an ultimate exercise for your brain since it activates every known part, especially the visual, auditory and motor cortices. Researchers have realised that when we hear and attempt to play music, our brains process sounds that they couldn’t otherwise hear. This helps us develop a neurophysiological distinction between certain sounds. Actively engaging with music vastly improves the strength of neural processing, also helping our language skills.^[1]
