What's working?

Hey, I just had a thought. What IS working in your life? So many times we focus on all the things going wrong and it doesn't allow much time to look at the flip side. They say gratitude opens the door for more flow in our lives and if that's true, what are we waiting for? When we ask ourselves that question, we prime the pump for manifestation. Ask your heart, what is alive and pulsing perfectly in your life? What needs more focus and attention to watch it grow? When we come from gratitude and aligned faith and trust,
 things seem to magically shift.
As most of you know, I have been challenged myself for the last few months and it is so easy to get caught up in what's not working and of course we all know that we will attract more of the same energetic vibrations. Like attracts like. It's not only spirit, it's science folks! When we are looking at what is working, we seem to glide through life a little easier. The energy it takes to be in worry or fear is exhausting! Sometimes it is definitely not easy. We may have to dig for what I call the thank God's. The thank God's are our basics. Sometimes they are the abstract things we can be grateful for.
A list of my thank God's.
Thank God I'm still breathing.
I can still move.
I have shelter.
I have food.
I don't have the plague. ( they can be humorous if you wish )
I'm not pregnant.
You get the idea. If you force yourself to make a list everyday of at least 10 things that are going well and your grateful for, how can you go wrong? You may want to challenge yourself to not repeat the same things for a whole week. It forces us to dig a little.
On the other side of the coin, if your worried about things that you have no influence or control over, give it to God. I use a give it to God list daily. I label it that and then I write everything I can't control on it that I am worried about. It helps me to surrender it out of my mind. Once it is on the list, it seems to work like magic. Even if I have to put the same things on the list for awhile, I trust the process. It helps me to hold my belief firm and to know someone else has my back.

Celebrating Spring Equinox

Monday March 20th ushers in Spring Equinox. It's time for us to spring back to life. As the light returns, everyone seems to have a skip in their step. The energies are ripe for
getting outside again, planting new seeds for what you wish to create between now and Summer Solstice. After the long Winter, we are ready to shed resting and are ready to come to life again.
Astrologically speaking, this is the start of the new year with Aires being the first sign of the Zodiac. What do you think of when you think of the new year? Time to re-evaluate again. Truthfully we should do that with every turn of the wheel. If we take the time to do it with the change of the seasons, were more in alignment with where we want to go.
All this week is energetically pulsing with new energy that is ripe for putting your prayers or wishes out into the universe. It is a great time to review your goals from January, or a great time to tweak them. Take time this week to open your heart to new people, new ways of being in the world and even to be kind to yourself. During these celebration times it is wise to utilize the extra energies we have been given to create with ease.
The ancients knew the importance of following the turning of the wheel. They planted and harvested around it. They knew the cycles in nature reflected something to them and they knew they needed to align with them in order to be balanced, healthy and in alignment with giving and receiving. They knew if they followed nature that all would be well. With the busyness of our days many have gotten so far away from these natural cycles. I believe the further away we are from them, the worse our lives get. Whether it is depression from light deprivation, EMF'S from being surrounded with technology, or just no time to reset ourselves, it all has serious consequences. Sometimes these consequences go unnoticed for awhile, but make no mistake that eventually there is a price to pay.
Please utilize this week to the fullest by celebrating Spring Equinox, getting in nature and appreciating that there is a turn of the wheel. For all of you that live in places that have four seasons, your so lucky. You get to re-set at least four times during the year.
With everything in nature getting ready to bloom, it's time for you to as well. Harness this week's energy and own your divinity by claiming it to be! Happy Spring!

On December 21, at 5.44 a.m. we usher in Winter Solstice on the east coast. It is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the year, and the longest night.  After this night, days start to get longer as the Sun starts to return. This is another turn of the wheel where the Goddess once again becomes the Great Mother that gives birth to the Divine Child.

As the Sun is returning, throughout history, it was a powerful moment in time to celebrate. Depending on ones particular traditions, they held festivals where they were free to gather, sing, and dance. Some called it Yule, as it was recognized as a season of Magic, a time of rebirth, and renewal, as the Sun makes its way back to earth.

These changing of seasons have been key points within the human life cycle. The turning of the wheel of life represents stages of our inner journey. There are times to move forward, times to reflect, and times to pause from our busy life. This is a time to renew our energy in all aspects of our world. The more mindful you are, the more you can let go of old outdated beliefs, and ways of thinking. Come celebrate your own journey as we join together to walk our spiritual path, and align with the cycle of Solstice.

I am very excited this year about our event.  Since I had to rent space, Gerard suggested that we make it a Christmas party. We never have time to just socialize and enjoy each other's company beside doing our usual spiritual ceremonies. We now have room for you to bring a friend or spouse, if you choose. 

The deadline is important this year as we are having our event catered, and I need to have an accurate count. The deadline is December 12th. The event must be paid in advance. You may pay by sending me an email at trusttmac@aol.com with your name, and I will send you an invoice, or you may mail a check to Brenda Edwards 46 Mill Pond Dr. Springfield, Ma. 01129. If you don't hear back from me within a couple of days, call me at 413-526-9840.

Dave is an accomplished artist specializing in Color Field Painting and abstract expressionism. He uses his gifts of artistic color expressionism and psychic intuition to create Color Field Aura Portraits.

Dave's clients sit for him as he interprets their energies of emotion, personality and physical and mental well being through a pastel color abstract portrait. Then Dave and Brenda will interpret and explain the colors and shapes in the abstract portrait. The portraits are 11”x14” and created with pastel chalk on paper.

Each session is 30 minutes for $40. You can make an appointment by calling 413 526-5421.

​Your archetypal guides are inviting you to meet them through a unique and insightful activity – creating SoulCollage® cards! With SoulCollage®, you make one or more - or hundreds - of cards that become your personal deck, mirroring all the parts of your Self - your personality traits, people you love or are otherwise influential in your life, each of the chakra energy vortices as they express through you, as well as archetypes and non-physical guides.

On October 29, from noon to 3 pm at our new location (46 Mill Pond Dr., Springfield, MA) join with like-minded spirits to create two 5 X 8 cards that will symbolically represent two of your own personal guiding archetypal energies - from a vast array of images that will be provided for you! You will be guided throughout the process, which includes community, guided meditation, step-by-step instructions, fun and heartfelt connection with those in the room, whether physical or non-physical. You will learn how to turn to your cards for direction and insights throughout your day, or when facing life transitions, or in many surprising and delightful self-reflective ways! No “creative” experience necessary – open to all who are open to their spirit!

Facilitated by Karen Chadbourne, MS (Counseling Psychology), who combines her intuitive counseling skills with her training in breath therapy and SoulCollage®, and draws on various forms of creative expression in the healing arts to offer a way for others to be seen, to be heard, to BE CREATIVE!

Join us on a magical journey to Sedona.  On this journey we will come together to reclaim our natural state of joy, and peace.  We will gather at the different Power Vortexes that hold ancient wisdom and love, walking the path of the ancient ones that have walked before us. This an opportunity to experience the magic and mystery of Sedona, as well as the ancient teachings of the Elders from past civilizations. So if you want to take a break from your busy life, open yourself up for intuitive guidance and awareness, and create a renewed sense of being with yourself and others, this trip is for you!

There is a inner landscape that is just as important as your outer one. The inner one holds all feelings, hopes, dreams, and visions. It is the inner one that starts the creation process first. Everything starts with an idea, a creative seed. Then that idea has to germinate. We look at it from all angles until we get really clear. Once we're clear,  we hold it dear to our heart, and add a bunch of feelings to imagine it happening, and this helps give it the energy to grow from an idea into a larger vision of itself. The process of envisioning is an important one. It builds belief, and makes it seem more real. Then we move to the next step, which is faith. We have been told that faith can move mountains.

I have seen this in my own life! Faith lives in our inner landscape. It is from here that we gather the confidence, and trust to move forward when all else may tell us something different. The faith keeps us generating the energy, until it manifests.

When we feel that all systems are go inside, then we will know we are ready when we start to see
our outer landscape mirroring what's inside. Then it will only be a matter of time before you draw in the resources you need to make it all a reality. Practice taking control of your inner, get good with visualizing, have faith, be patient, and just see what's possible!

Power is in the air, and feels alive. Is it because we just left Mercury retrograde, and are trying to get our bearings back? Is it that we are ready to move and take action because of this long Winter many of us are having? Maybe it is simply the right time. Take advantage of it, and start to put your new dreams into action. This is the perfect year for it!

Often, many ask me how to keep the faith for those long term visions, before they manifest? I say, "Keep on believing," then add the predominant feeling you will have when it arrives. Start with the smaller ones that will help you to use the energy available to us now, and manifest those first. That will build momentum and will keep you believing until you get to the larger dreams. 

It feels as as though we have been trapped in a snow globe this Winter, and for me personally, although I have been out of work more than I've been in, I am learning to treasure my house bound time. It's as if the universe has made us slow down, and even though typically the season of Winter is about that anyway, many of us needed a reminder. Go with using the energy to help plan on paper, take steps you can take, computer work, cleaning out, or just plain resting, or playing catch up with your sleep. This will also make this next month fly. 

The Universe really does know what we need, although when we don't get the results we want, or think we deserve, we complain about it. Can you remember a time when something  you  wanted didn't turn out the way you thought? Well, the universe knows what's best, so trust.

In the next few weeks the energy will continue to build, and it will be a perfect time to get clear, so connect with your power, and own it!
