September 2017 Rose Healing News and Oil/Card of the Month

/

Dreams, Intuition and the Inner life. 

September gets its name from the Latin word septum meaning seven because it was originally the 7th month in the old calendar system.  While the early portion of the month continues to have a summery feeling, we already can sense (at least here in the Northeast) an early Fall coming.  As we give up the last energy of summer and move towards the return the school, harvest celebrations and really move into the autumn energy, take time to check in on where you are at.  What were the gifts of summer this year? What did you wish you had done?  Or what do you wish you had done more of?  Now is the time to write in your calendar for next spring some reminders.

September is a pivotal month during which the outward-directed energy of summer begins to shift inward in preparation for the 6 months to be spent in the darkness of Mother Earth’s womb. This is a month to open our eyes to synchronicities,dreams and our intuition.  It is a time for listening for our inner spiritual guidance.

SingingBowls.jpg

To that end, I am offering another Sound Healing Meditation Circle with Crystal Singing Bowls on Sunday September 10th from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.  Advance sign up required as we are limited in our number of participants. $20.  Contact me ASAP if you are interested.  Of course, I am also available for individual healings which include a customized blend of Reflexology, Craniosacral and Sound Healing. 

As we come out of the major celestial energies of Mercury Retrograde and the Eclipse, September offers us a month filled with possibility for that which we want to manifest in our lives. It is a highly creative time for new ideas.  We are still integrating new energies and new alignments from August. The best thing you can do is to honor anything NEW. A good practice is to do or experience something new every day consciously. Whether it is a change in your routine or a new food or a new route to work. Be brave. Choose something new every day as a way to acknowledge change. 
 

Our Oil of the Month is  Cedarwood

Cedarwood Essential Oil has an earthy aroma that is soothing and grounding. It is a well documented oil that is mentioned over 40 times in the Bible. It can help stimulate the limbic system of the brain which assists in elevatingour mood and helps us relax (overcome stress). This explains why Cedarwood can give you a feeling of being connected, comforted, grounded and focused. It calms the spirit, eases nervous tension and stress. The oil gets is name from “Cedrus” which is an Arabic word meaning “power”

Cedarwood Essential Oil Energetic Impacts:

On an energetic level Cedarwood oil helps you embrace the feeling of being totally safe and secure with yourself as well as in your environment. As fears are released, the heart is open to spiritual love and protection which also brings self acceptance and love. It is excellent oil for the heart chakra.

How to use: Cedarwood Essential Oil:

Our  “Oracle Card of the Month”

I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of September and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Raphael cards.  The card we received is:

Ask Your Body for a Message

AskBodyforMessageRaphaelSept2017.jpg

Today you are being asked to tune into and access your inner body wisdom. Instead of taking cues from outside sources, Archangel Raphael asks you to seek and follow guidance from your own body, which holds within it all that you need to know. Throughout your day, check in with your body to see how it feels, and notice what it needs and what it is asking you for.

Here are a few methods you might consider:

During meditation, scan your body from the bottoms of your feet to the top of the head, noting where there is tension or discomfort. Breathe into those areas. Ask your body what it would like you to know and allow time to listen for the response.

Taking an Epson salt bath is a wonderful way to quiet the mind which makes your body wisdom more accessible. While you are in the bath ask yourself, “Body, what would you have me know,” or “Where do I need to devote attention to you,” and be open to notice the response that you get.

Yoga is another great way to connect into your body wisdom to access the things that your body would like you to know. You can communicate with your body throughout the duration of your practice, ask your body what it wants you to know during your Shavasana, or check in with your body after your practice is complete.

Your body speaks to you through thoughts, emotions, feelings, aches/pains, tingles and sensations like warmth, heat, or coolness. Your body always knows exactly what it needs and is counting on you to come through for it when it asks for something. Your body may be telling you something simple such as a need to drink more water, or a request to be fueled with more nutritious foods. Or you may find your body has more profound guidance for you. Whatever the case, you can always call upon Archangel Raphael to help you better connect into the needs of your body, or to better understand the guidance you receive. Archangel Raphael is a powerful healer who will lovingly guide you towards healing your body and improving your health.

Special Blog: Eclipse August 2017 Energy

/

The information I share here is at the request of several of my clients who have asked me to provide insight around the energy of the Eclipse. This information below comes from a variety of sources including those referenced at the end of this post and others, as well as my own interpretation from an intuitive perspective.  I hope it is helpful.

So when is the Eclipse exactly?

The Solar Eclipse arrives on Monday August 21, 2017 between 1:23 PM and 4:00 PM.  The peak (70% effaced for New York State - Hudson Valley region) will be between 2:42 and 2:45 PM.  Please make sure you wear proper eye protection. See NASA link below for more info.

What is the energy around this Eclipse?

The main theme around this Eclipse is RE-EVALUATION/RESET.  This is a major time for re-evaluating what in your life is not working for you and CHANGE it.  It is a time for dealing with hard truths.  The recent events in Virginia and in Barcelona show that it is a time for hard truths on a national and global scale as well.  

The entire month of August has the energy of letting go – of old outdated stuff - things, furniture, clothes, relationships, thoughts, ideas.  Really whatever no longer serves us is coming up to be released now.   This will be a challenging process.  Sometimes old outdated thoughts and ideas do not leave quietly.  On a more personal level you most likely know the experience of standing in your closet holding that blouse or pair of pants with the “someday I might wear it” thought.  No you won’t.  If you haven’t worn it in a year – let it go. If you choose to let it go – it  allows space for something new (and better) to enter. This is a metaphor for much larger “letting go” which allows us to move forward and experience life in a new way.

A RESET is a time of allowing that which has gone before is gone. Done. Finito.  We must move on and look to the future with INTENTION and THOUGHTFULNESS. This will require setting aside time (by unplugging from the TV, computer, social media, cell phone, children, day to day responsibilities etc) to dialogue with yourself exactly what it is you want to change in your life.  We can only do this through quiet interaction with ourselves and our divinity. Please use the time between now and Monday 8/21 at 2:45 PM to create this space for your sacred voice to speak to you.  It doesn’t have to be elaborate or for that matter even all that long. But it does have to be done.

You will not hear your inner voice speak to you through a cacophony of negative news streams, social media, Facebook, etc. Create sacred space in whatever way that means for you – a walk in the woods, being near water, sitting quietly in meditation. Anything that allows you to deeply listen.

Next in the theme is TRUST.  We must learn to trust that as this Eclipse transitions us to the next phase of being.  That the change we seek is for the highest good of ourselves, our Country and the planet. Trust your inner knowing more than your ego.  Trust that change will bring good things and that all will be well in the end.

Finally an Eclipse is an event that reminds us of the passage of time, of seasonal changes and that cycles are a part of life here on Planet Earth.  The bottom line is it is a unique time to re-create who you are and what you want to manifest.  It will take work, commitment and a willingness to change but the Eclipse energy can help.  Use it.

Working with the Eclipse on 8/21/17:

Take a moment on or about the time of the Eclipse 8/21/17 at 2:45 PM and be reminded that the absence of the Sun as it is eclipsed from the Earth is a true “dropping into the void”.  It  symbolizes the absence of what has been feeding old patterns and beliefs these past years and maybe your whole lifetime. This is true on a personal level but also on a much larger scale. 

As the eclipse recedes and the sun comes back, imagine that it is feeding, nourishing and energizing a new you, one that has been reset to a new vibration, a new consciousness, a new frequency.  Visualize that it is also resetting our Country and our Planet to a new vibration, a new consciousness, a new frequency.

Now that is some powerful stuff!

In Love and Light. Rosemary

August 2017 Rose Healing News

/

There are a few theories on how August got its name.  The most popular one is that August is named to honor the Roman emperor Augustus, a man renowned for his leadership skills.  August continues the energy of summer (at least at its start) with lots of art & music festivals, county fairs and high energy.  But it also begins to show signs of autumn’s harvest theme.   We become more aware that the sun light is slowly waning. 

August accentuates community and connection through its gatherings.  It is a time to enjoy the remaining warmth of the earth, celebrate the cycles and generally make yourself more aware of how you use your time.  Fall is just around the corner and we can really feel the energy ramp up as parents, teachers and students of all ages begin to turn their focus to September. So use this time wisely. As I said in July’s blog, summer always seems to fly by so quickly. Remember to put yourself on the list and get in some time in nature and maybe some bodywork too like a massage or a reflexology/energy session at Rose Healing! 

On Sunday July 30th I am offering a Sound Healing Meditation Circle with Crystal Singing Bowls. This event is SOLD OUT. But please mark your calendars for Sunday September 10th from 10 AM to 11:30 AM. $20 offering. Advance signup required by contacting rosehealing@optonline.net. I am planning to continue these on a regular basis.

The Oil of the Month is  Purification

Purification Essential Oil blend has a fresh and clean aroma that is very uplifting.  It is extensively used in my home in my diffusers in the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement to keep the air smelling clean and fresh. We love to add it to our laundry to keep our clothes smelling fresh without artificial chemicals.  It is a perfect blend for neutralizing odors such as cigarette smoke, pet odors, mildew and mold. If you plan to have a party, this is a perfect blend to diffuse before, during and after!  Purification energetically cleanses the room! 

Purification essential oil is definitely one of top ten favorite essential oil blends and I will not leave home without it!  Whenever I travel I make sure I have Thieves and Purification to cleanse any area I will be in – cars, trains, airplanes, hotel rooms etc.

Purification Essential Oil Blend™ Energetic Impacts:

On an energetic level diffusing Purification in a room will purify and cleanse negative emotions and vibrations. Spray some in an emotionally charged room or in your work space, especially if there is anger, violence or chaotic energy.  This is fantastic oil for when we need support in seeing our patterning as it relates to abandonment, rejection, or the fear of being alone. It also can calm anger and conflict and bring back purity of thought and restore order. It opens the sacral chakra.

How to use: Purification Essential Oil Blend™

Use diluted - 50:50 dilution (one part essential oil: one part of vegetable oil). Then,

• Apply several drops (2-4) on feet, ears and temples

• Apply to chakras or on feet

• Directly inhale, or

• Diffuse or place on cotton balls and stash in closets, shoes, gym bags.

Our  “Oracle Card of the Month”

I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of August and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards. This deck was the first Doreen Virtue deck I owned and still one of my favorites.   The card we received is:

BALANCE

When you think about living a "balanced life," what thoughts and feelings come to you? What areas of your life need more time devoted to them, so that your personal needs are balanced with your other responsibilities?

Gaining balance is an ongoing process, born of each choice we make about how to spend our time. God gives us the strength and discernment so we need to make wise choices.

What is helpful: Pausing to pray and contemplate before saying yes to an activity.

What isn't helpful: Blaming others or feeling guilty, if your life is unbalanced.

Today and each day: Make the commitment to balance your daily schedule, to include time for what's important. This is a part of spiritual growth and self-care.  It can help to set aside even 10 minutes in your morning to meditate and consider what is important.

Here's a helpful prayer:  Dear God, Please clearly and strongly guide my choices and decisions, so that I spend my time and other resources on true priorities. Please give me the strength and self-control to say No to distractions.

July 2017 Rose Healing News

/

July derives its name from Julius Caesar who was born in July.  This month is filled with the energy of summer and festivals, backyard parties, family, friends and lots of social interaction.  Of course we also celebrate the Declaration of Independence on July 4th.  

It is a beautiful time of the year where the speed of life seems to slow down just a bit. Really consider yourself in this equation of summer. It always goes so fast.  Try to find time for self reflection and self-care as well as rest and relaxation this month.  So often our society mistakes much needed leisure time for laziness but nothing could be further from the truth.  We need rest, relaxation and fun!

Speaking of fun,  this past month I was fortunate to attend the Sage Academy of Sound – Intensive Sound Healing Training at the Menla Retreat Center in the Catskills. This training deepened my existing sound healing practice considerably.  I look forward to sharing this energy with my clients in both individual sessions and in new group gatherings.  I am offering a Sound Healing Bath with Crystal Singing Bowls on Sunday July 30th from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.  Advance sign up required as we are limited in our number of participants. $20 offering.

Our  “Oracle Card of the Month”

I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of July and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Gabriel Deck.  The card we received is:

LISTEN ONLY TO LOVE.  The message:   Focus on Love

There is a place where the news is always good, where there's harmony and peace amongst all people, and unconditional love and compassion toward you. And that place exists right here, right now, during your lifetime. 

It's the place of prayerful communion with your Creator, where - instead of focusing upon the news, worries, drama, or grievances - you close your eyes, breathe, and pray from your heart. It's in that moment, that you've given your free-will permission for Heaven to help you. As you pray, you can feel the burdens being lifted. Your mind receives solutions instead of problems. 

The lower energy loves to distract us with worries and anger . . . anything to pull us from our path. Lower energy also tries to divide and conquer people, by planting suspicions that create the illusion of separation. We can't afford to fall for these tactics!

Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. God's infinite wisdom has the answer to every situation. 

Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, please detoxify my mind and heart, and reset me to love, pure love. Guide my actions to be helpful, from a place of love not fear or anger.

June 2017 Rose Healing News

your essential Oil and Oracle Card of the Month

June derives its name for the Roman word “Juno” and it has long been the traditional month for weddings.  So June’s theme is relationship - with one’s self, with others and with nature.  June is the month when most flowers really shine.  So get outdoors and enjoy them!  It is a time of year that is filled with celebrations – graduations, weddings, Father’s Day, etc. 

But in all that celebration we need to remember self care too.   So how can we celebrate ourselves?  Think about allowing more self care during this beautiful time of the year.  Here are some brief ideas on how to incorporate “self-care” in the next month.

Ø     Practice a mindfulness exercise, even if it’s just deep breathing.

Ø     Find a place in nature to enjoy.

Ø     Go to bed early and make sure you get at least a full 8 hours of sleep.

Ø     Write down ten things in your life that inspire gratitude.

Ø     Schedule an appointment for intuitive body work  – like Reflexology, Craniosacral Balancing or Reiki. Hmmm… Maybe at Rose Healing Center. ;-)

June always reminds me of my grandmother’s back yard planters filled with big red geraniums. That memory inspired my choice for our oil of the month.

June Oil of the Month Geranium

Geranium oil has a floral rose-like aroma and is steam distilled from the plants fragrant flowers and leaves and this and has been used for centuries to support beautiful healthy skin. Geranium oil calms and relaxing the body and mind and is used traditionally to support the circulatory and nervous systems, a great deal of its strength lies in its ability to revitalize body tissues. In my practice at Rose Healing Center, I find geranium particularly helpful with the release of negative emotions and memories.  It assists those who are grieving a loss and helps to diminish fears of abandonment.  Blends of Young Living Essential Oils that contain geranium including “Envision” and “White Angelica”.   Geranium Oil Uses:

Diffuse it to give a relaxing floral scent to the air.

Add a few drops to a warm bath

Dab on your wrists and back of neck.

Directly inhale.

Several of you have asked me to bring back the “Oracle Card of the Month” to my newsletter so here we go. I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of June and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Raphael Desk and the card we received is:  “HOME HELP”

Spring is a very busy time of year inside and out.  Many of us can become overwhelmed with all that needs to be done in the garden, in the yard, in the house.  So, do you ask for help? Do you accept it when it is offered to you? 

Doreen Virtue (the creator of the Oracle Cards) says that asking for help, and allowing yourself to be helped, is essential to our health and happiness. Whether it's asking your family to help with yardwork or housework; asking a friend for their sympathetic ear; or delegating an assignment at work, we all need to reach out to others. 

Perhaps you feel guilty asking others for help, yet think of it this way: you are giving them an opportunity to feel needed. Your children develop a good work ethic as they learn to complete chores. And if you hire someone to help you, you're providing a livelihood. 

Perhaps you assume that people will say no to your requests for help. Having this assumption can be self-fulfilling. And in the case of children, they need to learn how to work and how to handle authority. Part of parenting is being a teacher of life skills to our children.    Certainly children learn from watching you – do they see someone who exhausts themselves every day or has a balanced approach to work and rest?  

This June at Rose Healing we are welcoming back Betty Sue Hanson to teach Reiki Level 1.     Please Save the Date – Sunday August 20, 2017 Align With Your Higher Self- A Channeled Guidance Session with Mary Ellen O'Brien. 

Please feel free to leave a comment.  Wishing you all a wonderful June.

April 2017 Rose Healing News

/

April Showers Bring May Flowers. That seems to be the perfect sentence for the energy surrounding April.  Ups and Downs. Erratic. Cold one day, warm the next.  The best thing to do with with erratic energy is to commit to slow and steady progress in our goals and be patient and understanding.  

April is also a time when we are being guided to speak our truth in relationship with others. "Others" could be spouse, friend, boss, sibling.   If we do not, the Universe will continue to highlight where we have failed to stay out of negative thinking and behaviors.  

The full moon is April 10th. The new moon in April 26th. 

This month's Oil is Frankincense

Frankincense is one of the oldest essential oils and is known as the “holy anointing oil”.  In the Middle East, frankincense has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It was was one of the gifts given to Christ at his birth. 

Today, frankincense is still used worldwide for both its ceremonial and dietary uses. Frankincense can be used topically or diffused to enhance spirituality and meditation, or for uplifting attitude and mood-enhancement. As a supplement, Frankincense Vitality delivers support for overall wellness and normal cellular health, and has a complex, sweet flavor.

PRIMARY BENEFITS

·  Promotes spiritual awareness and enhances meditation, tonic for the body and mind.

·   Comforting, support mental balance

·         Excellent support for skin health

·         Stimulating and elevating aroma

If you are interested in purchasing Young Living pure essential oils, please contact me. (914) 365-8788 or rosehealing@optonline.net

Wishing you all a very Happy Spring, Happy Easter, Happy Passover.  Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this adventure called life.
