Book for January: “All for Love - the transformative Power of Holding Space” Matt Kahn
Quote for January “We are pure LIGHT and pure LOVE. Spiritual beings journeying in physical form. We are divinity at the same time we are walking the earth. Children of the ONE. We are magnificent, beautiful and enlightened. We don’t even have to look for it, its already within US. This is heaven on earth. As above so below.” Angie Karan
Happy New Year!!!! As 2023 ends and 2024 begins, I extend both my love and deep appreciation to you for being a client/friend/follower of Rose Healing Center. I am truly in awe of the community we have built together and I am beyond grateful.
I follow several amazing writers, healers, astrologists, and scientists - many of whom are speaking about this time between the Old Earth and the New Earth. I continually remind myself that I need to embrace the new and cannot move into the new (including 2024) while still clinging to the old. This is such an incredible time of transition on our planet. 2024 arrives with this energy already flowing.
Our Theme - As Above, So Below
The terms “as above, so below” have been used in my practice almost from the very beginning. These words have been used by healers, writers and astrologers alike to explain why and how the universe works. The concept includes the thought that the visible stars in the sky are linked to life on earth. The human world is related to the larger universe. Everything is connected. From a historical perspective the terms “as above, so below” have been linked to Hermes, a god in Greek Mythology. For our purposes here it is a reminder that we reap what we sow and we are responsible for the energy we bring to any situation. As above, so below, as within, so without. A lovely theme to open 2024 on a metaphysical level.
“We are pure LIGHT and pure LOVE. Spiritual beings journeying in physical form. We are divinity at the same time we are walking the earth. Children of the ONE. We are magnificent, beautiful and enlightened. We don’t even have to look for it, its already within US. This is heaven on earth. As above so below.”
I am very excited to be a Workshop Leader in an hydrid intensive 4 day “Living in the Light” program led by Cheryl Banfield of Love Light Illuminations Center. This program is a vibrational training for all aspects of your being: Mind, Body, Spirit, Soul, Oneness. It is more unlearning than learning: It is for expanding self and universal awareness and it is unlike any other program. The workshops will provide interactive experiences and learning self-healing techniques for full integration of all 5 aspects of self: mind, body, spirit, soul and oneness.
Part I: Sat Feb 10th & Sun Feb 11th
Part II: Sat March 2nd & Sun March 3rd
The morning sessions will consist of guided multidimensional sensory meditation. You will receive: transmissions of light, light code activations, and high resonant downloads with crystalline light frequencies. The afternoon sessions will continue your transformational shifting through powerful workshops held by 4 light facilitators, all trained LoveLight Practitioners: Catherine Anesi, Rosemary Boyle Lasher, Mandy Mathiesen and Emily Medri.
Living In The Light will bring you into energetic alignment by shifting your frequency. This allows the opportunity to reach newer understanding, access divine consciousness, step into cosmic flow and receive divine light, which you will then transmit out into the world.

Our Crystal for the month of January 2024 is Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed in swiftly cooling lava that has a high silica content. It is not considered a true mineral, as it does not have an entirely consistent chemical content and it does not form crystals. It is a stone of protection and reverence. It invites us to see things from not only black and white but also the in-between - they gray.
Practitioners believe snowflake obsidian lets them see the dark and uncomfortable sides of their own natures, bringing them back into wholeness. A patterned stone, it is thought to help wearers see patterns in their own thoughts and behaviors. It's also believed that this material dissolves shocks, fears and traumas, assisting us to release both physical and emotional pains. Like a sky full of beautiful snowflakes, snowflake obsidian restores a deep, abiding sense of our own divinity.
Snowflake obsidian is affiliated with the base and crown chakras. It is thought to embody both yin and yang. Although not a birthstone, it is affiliated with the zodiac sign Capricorn.
Full Moon in January is 1/25/24 The “Wolf Moon”
The full Moon in January happens when there are cold, long nights in the Northern Hemisphere, a time when the ground is frozen and winds whip the snow around. Trees and shrubs are deep into their dormancy and wildflower seeds await warmer weather to sprout. It’s time for the soil to rest before the next season of life-giving growth. Above ground, howls break the silent nights giving rise to a widely used name for January’s full Moon: the Wolf Moon.
Full Moon January 2024: Thursday, January 25
Peak Illumination: 12:54 p.m. Eastern Time
Between the haunting howls and deep-rooted mythology, the wolf is undoubtedly an iconic creature deserving of its association with the full Moon. The name for the January full Moon is believed to have originated from Celtic and Old English roots, which European settlers then brought to the New World.
No matter where the settlers landed in North America, they surely encountered the familiar call of the wolf. At one point, gray wolves were among the most widespread land mammals on our planet. According to the Wolf Conversation Center, gray wolves “inhabited most of the available land in the Northern Hemisphere.”
Habitat destruction and persecution by humans have reduced their range by about a third worldwide and 90 percent in the lower 48 states.
The wolf’s adaptable nature to survive in a wide range of habitats and ability to prey on the largest mammals living in those regions made it widespread. Basically, if there are enough deer, moose, elk, caribou, bison, and musk ox, wolves can survive. Predation of domestic animals caused friction with European settlers and early Americans who aggressively hunted the wolves.
Werewolf myths can be found in ancient Greek and Roman societies, throughout European history and among some Native American tribes. In modern storytelling the transformation from man to wolf has been closely tied to the full Moon in films like “The Wolf Man” and “American Werewolf In London.”
Howl at the Moon means to waste energy pursuing something unattainable. It’s shorthand for doing something crazy. However, howling is hardly a waste of energy among wolf packs. And they aren’t howling at the Moon. The Moon just happens to be shining during times when wolves most often howl.
A wolf’s howl can be heard miles away. The vocalization helps wolves locate separated members and even communicate between packs marking their territories. One study recorded spontaneous howls and responses happen most often between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The cry of wolves doesn’t play into the Sioux name for the January full Moon, which is known as “The Time When Wolves Run Together.” Wolves do plenty of running to defend territory that can stretch hundreds of square miles to find enough prey to support the pack. Source: The Farmer’s Almanac
