Uses of Astrology 

Childhood And Emotional Issues: There are a great many clues in the natal chart that let us know the general nature of emotional trauma. An astrology reading can validate inexplicable feelings and facilitate healing, as well as provide direction as to which therapeutic modalities might be most helpful and appropriate.

Removing Hidden Blocks: We all have potentially rewarding gifts and talents that lie dormant because we never stumble upon the key that can remove our blocks. Gifts can be unlocked by having them identified and being given correct information about how to actualize them.

Parents' Readings for Children: We tend to assume that our children need what we needed as children, and we try to give them that. Good parents understand that each child's needs are unique--different from their own and those of other children. Astrology is an invaluable tool for parents seeking to guide their children sensitively and appropriately.

Couples' Readings: Not all relationships are made in Heaven, but most of them can work, given enough love between the people involved, if areas of conflict and tension can be identified and worked with. Astrology has proven invaluable in facilitating compassion and understanding between partners

Transits and Progressions: We are constantly being affected by the changing currents of the sky as the planets move around the zodiac. A study of current transits and progressions can help to determine what opportunities and crises are opening up in the near future, and how best to meet their challenges .

For Skeptics: You will be surprised, especially if you view astrology through the lens of horoscope columns in the newspaper. The information available is extremely specific, sophisticated and personal.

  • Stuck in a repeating pattern in your life? Astrology can put the pattern in its context and show how to change it. 
  • Don't understand your mate or kids? Astrology can illuminate reasons for their behavior, open lines of communication, reveal everyone's unique needs and how to meet them.
  • Torn by conflicting desires? Confused about your identity? Astrology can help make sense of your own complex inner struggle.

Sample Dreamwalk Intro Meditation

 

Following is an abbreviated sample of the sort of meditation that begins a dreamwalk session: after coming fully into the body and the moment, the real exploration begins.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Feel your breath as it enters your body. Allow your breath to be deep and slow. Let your chest, diaphragm and belly expand in turn. Let the breath fill you as full as possible. Then allow the breath to leave your body, belly and chest slowly emptying.

With every inbreath, call to yourself to be present inside your body here and now. Call in your memories of the past and your visions of the future. Call your ideas, dreams and desires, pictures and thoughts and fears. Call all of yourself to come into you now, into this moment in time and space, this body, here and now.

With every outbreath, relax your holds, liberate everything that is bound within you. Release all images of yourself, all ideas of who you are, what you are supposed to look like or do or be. Let go of your ties to family, job, gender, species. Drop away all self-consciousness, all ideas of sin and shame, anything that prevents your full participation in this moment, here and now.

Continue to breathe, deep and slow. Continue to call yourself inside your body, into this precise moment in time and space.

Lengthen your outbreaths as much as you comfortably can, then when you must, release the inbreath which follows. Notice the transition point between the inbreath and outbreath, and between the outbreath and the in. Notice what happens during that moment of transition, the tiny choice which must be made anew with every breath. With every shift from exhale to inhale, you have again made the choice to live.

Notice any tension that makes deep breathing difficult. Feel the tension, feel into the muscles that are holding it. If you can find an emotion held there, try to allow it to vibrate directly in the muscle itself as you cry it. Keep breathing while feeling the tension as deeply as possible.

All the while, continue to breathe, deep and slow. Continue to feel yourself inside your body, in this moment, here and now.

Surrender your body to gravity’s pull. Feel yourself become heavier, your weight gradually increase. Feel yourself sink more deeply into your chair or bed. Continue to breathe, deep and slow. Continue to build your intention with every inhale and to release distraction with every exhale. Build, release. Build, release.

Notice your bones, the skeleton of yourself which gives you form and strength. Notice that your bones are pink and flexible, a living skeleton, a bustling factory for making blood, its spongy tissues filled with activity and flooded with living fluid. Take a moment to admire the beauty and symmetry of your bones.

Now notice the flesh and tissues that cling to your bones, that cling to each other, to your skin, that fill you so thoroughly. Feel the packed organs and systems of your body, everything clinging to everything else, everything touching, wet and intimate. Take a moment to explore your flesh from the inside.

All the while, continue to breathe, deep and slow. Continue to call yourself into yourself, into this present moment, this precise place in the matrix of time and space. Continue to release anything that prevents your full presence in this moment.

Become aware of your heart beating in the centre of your chest, a little to the left. Listen to your heartbeat, and feel the rhythmic flow of your blood. Notice the rhythm of your blood, the pulsing in your ears as the tides of your body rise and fall with every heartbeat. Your body is nourished and cleansed by the regular flow of blood to every living cell. Take some time to follow the path of your blood through your body, to notice the complex network of arteries and veins, the cyclic path of arterial and venous blood, a cycle which mirrors the cycle of your breath. Take a moment to notice and appreciate your heart’s tireless, reliable service. Your heart beats whether you will it to or not. If you feel it, send some love and gratitude into your heart right now.

Notice the soft brain in your skull, cradled and contained by the hard protection of bone. Take a moment to explore your brain, to marvel at its mystery. So much of your brain’s function is unknown, and yet there it is, powerful and majestic, nestled in the middle of your head, the control centre of your body.

Notice the complex fractal network of your nervous system, which gives your body its exquisite sensitivity to pressure, orientation and sensation.

Now imagine your body’s cellular, molecular and atomic structure. Each living cell contains an ecology as complex in its function as this whole planet Earth. You exist inside a physical body composed of tiny dancing particles, each as relatively distant from the others as stars and planets. Notice and appreciate the vastness of the cosmos which you contain, the magic of your own physical matrix.

Continue to explore your body from the inside. Feel your skin from the inside, touching and stroking yourself with imaginal hands. Explore and define the space that contains you, as you prepare to go to the next level of your journey.

Continue to breathe, deep and slow...
