November 2022 - Gratitude

This is the time of year for forgiveness and gratitude.  One of the most important ways we come to completion is through grieving and celebrating the things we shared together. In your meditation and prayer practice in the month ahead consider including forgiveness to the self and others. Forgiveness helps to set us free, claim our wisdom and move on.

November for me personally, is one of the more difficult months as the days grow shorter and the temperatures colder, my body and mind argue for more self-care.  Over the years, I have learned to listen (particularly in November) so that the winter ahead will be smooth. I share that with all of you, my dear readers, so YOU too can be reminded that in all the rush to prepare for the “holidaze” ahead you remember to put yourself on the list and allow yourself some restorative time as well.

“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness—its right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.”   Brene Brown  

The Benefits of Sound Baths & Upcoming Crystal Harp Sound Bath:

11/20/22 and 12/18/22 will be our last two in person Sound Healings with the Harp at Rose Healing Center in 2022. On Friday December 2nd I will be offering the Sound Bath with the Crystal Harp and Koshi Chimes at Kinosaito arts Center where we can host up to 50 people for a Sound Bath. Tickets for the Kinosaito event. At the Rose Healing location it is an intimate affair with a maximum of 8 participants. Past participants report feeling residual tension and stress melting away from their body, mind and spirit as the soothing tones & vibrations gently penetrate their field.   These tend to sell out so sign up now if you are interested. Plus a link to an interesting read - Benefits of Sound Baths.

“It has been found that musical vibrations make their impact upon the entire body, being picked up by the nerves, spinal column, and even by the bones. This is why people who are deaf can react to music. It has also been demonstrated that music and sound affect the pulse, respiration, and blood pressure."-Doren Antrim (Music Is Medicine)

 November is the 11th month of the year.

The angel number 11 meaning conveys messages of truth, new opportunities, second chances and love.  Angel numbers appear in many different forms. Repeating numbers or Double-digit numbers like 11 are the form of angel numbers called master numbers.

Number 11 is a master number which represents intuition, sensitivity and awareness. This is why this number often appears when you need to make an important decision or be aware of some tendency people around you have regarding your life.

 November Holidays

The month opens with “All Saints Day/All Souls Day” (in many Christian traditions) and the “Day of the Dead” (Mexico).  Coming fresh off of Halloween (10/31) and in the ancient Celtic tradition of Samhain where the division of the year into the lighter half (summer) and the darker half (winter) means that the division between this world and the other world are at its thinnest, allowing spirits to connect to us.   

11/8 is Election Day.  As I think we have all figured out in the past few years - politics is not a spectator sport. PLEASE VOTE. Our ancestors fought hard for the right to vote. Use your voice.  

November is always a month to embrace gratitude with the arrival of Veterans Day and Thanksgiving.   Several of my friends and family have served in the military and each year on 11/11 we honor the veterans of America and their service to this country. Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In numerology 11:11 is a powerful number.

Each year at this time I choose to deeply honor this season. Sensing the “turning of the wheel” and appreciate each moment a little bit more deeply.  This week walked in nature and along the Hudson River, I was able to appreciate the beauty a bit more with the realization that soon enough this will all be covered with snow and ice. In these final weeks of fall, I am breathing in deeper and appreciating the sun and wind on my face, listening to the river and really allowing myself to be immersed in the natural world around me. This is what it means to experience the ‘present moment’.   

Crystal of the Month:  Pink Danburite

One of the highest vibration minerals currently found, Danburite “connects the heart of the mind with the mind of the heart".  Highly spiritual and sought after for its metaphysical properties, Danburite is a powerful Heart Chakra stone, relieving emotional pain and increasing acceptance of one’s self and of others.  The pure love energy of Danburite brings serenity and peace. Gentle yet powerful, Danburite also works with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras.  Danburite stimulates the Higher Crown Chakras, connecting the Heart to these Higher Chakras, and aids in communication with Angels and Guides.   Danburite is a good stone to have around during times of extreme change, and eases the transition of those leaving the physical human form.  A piece of Danburite in your pocket can ease stress and bring calm in difficult situations.  It is a good choice for anyone who is highly focused in the mental body (like academics and engineers), opening the heart and easing re-connection and balance with the emotional body. On an emotional level – it is comforting, love, patience, peace, stress reducing.
