AFFIRMATION
My life is an opportunity.
MEDITATION
Every heartbeat is God’s name to me. Every breath of life is ecstasy. Every night is bliss and I awaken in your company. Then dawn plays a symphony revealing to me my personal reality. Every life is a living God to me. Every thing is an expression of God’s personality. Every kiss is God’s romance and every love is embedded in God’s originality.
I continually hear, breathe, sing, and speak of God. Each day Your plan reveals it’s Universal truth. From the past to the future, connected, is how each day shall be. Speaking Thy name, I will dwell on you eternally.
Think of Ammachi, and meditate on the pink rose, and the joy of Spring. You are looking at this rose from afar, as something outside of you. But it is within your heart, as is Amma, always! The petals of the rose are slowly opening as you chant your mantras to Amma, opening to receive the golden warmth of sunshine and power from above. There is a light within the heart as well music coming to you from the center of the rose, the flower of Love. The Light from above and the light emanating from the rose blend as one…as you swoon into the bliss of Divine Love.
May God grant me Health, Protection and Guidance.
The Sun has entered GEMINI
The transit of the Sun through airy GEMINI brings you face to face with the principle of duality. You can divide the world in half, making contradiction the norm, or expand your mental horizons to synthesize several approaches simultaneously. Choose this latter path during the phase of the Twins. By elevating your intellectual standards of higher knowledge and honest communication, your consciousness taps into new veins of rich ore. Exult in the exploration of reading, writing, short travels and scientific inquiry. By placing an emphasis on wit, good humor, and the potency in your voice and hands, this cycle can sate your curiosity and let the creative genie out of the bottle.

ANIMAL—The Coyote – Trickster
Coyote…you devil!
You tricked me once more.
Must I sit and ponder
What you did it for?
There are thousands of myths and stories about the Coyote. Known as a great trickster, or the spiritual equivalent of the EGO, many Native American cultures call Coyote the “Medicine Dog”. With the Coyote as your Shaman Totem in June 2012 there is some kind of medicine on its way to you and it may not be to your liking! Whatever this medicine is, good or bad, you can be sure it will make you laugh, maybe even painfully. You can also be sure the Coyote will teach you a much needed lesson about your Ego and yourself.
Coyote has many magical powers, but they may not always work out in the best way, or in his favor. His own trickery fools him! He is the Master Trickster who winds up tricking himself. No one is more astonished than the Coyote at the outcome of his own tricks. He falls into his own trap. Somehow the Coyote manages to survive. He may be banged and bruised by the experience, but he soon goes on his way to even greater error, forgetting to learn from his mistakes. He may lose a battle, but Coyote is never beaten.
Coyote is sacred. In the folly of his acts we see our own foolishness. As Coyote moves from one disaster to the next, he refines the art of self-sabotage to sheer perfection. No one can blindly do themselves in with more grace and ease than this holy trickster. Coyote takes himself so seriously at times that he cannot see the obvious. For example, the steamroller that is about to run over him! That is why, when it hits him, he still cannot believe it. “Was that really a steamroller? I’d better go look,” he says. Then he is run over once more!
Contained within this trickster is the humor of the ages. The cosmic joke is not just on ourselves, but on everyone else if they are following the Coyote or have Coyote medicine as their Karma. Someone like this may be able to convince us that a skunk smells like roses, but a skunk is still a skunk! Snooze time is over in June, 2012. It’s now time to face up to the coming world events and earth changes with awareness and preparation. Watch out! Your glass may crash to the ground at any moment. Your self-mirror may crash and you will have to face yourself! The divine trickster is dogging you, and you may trip. Coyote scratches under his arm. He does a crazy dance. He catches his tail on fire while playing with matches. He jumps in a fish pond when running from wasps and almost drowns. Coyote seduces a concrete statue. Coyote thinks he’s found a bone, when it is indeed a rattlesnake. Everyone watches this comic scene. Coyote is you, me, booby traps, jet airplanes with toilets that don’t flush, uncomfortable blind dates and all the humorous and whimsical things we encounter along life’s way. Get ready for more laughs! Lots more.
Go immediately beneath the surface of your experience. Ask yourself what you are really doing and why. Is Coyote your medicine? Are you playing jokes on yourself? Are you trying to fool an adversary? Is someone tricking you? Do you want to give the office “geek” the phone number of the beautiful new secretary? Do you want to pull a boner on your best friend? When was the last time you did something because it was crazy and fun?
On the other hand, you may not be conscious of your own pathway of foolishness. You may have conned yourself, your family, your friends, or even the public at large into believing that you know what you are doing. But listen, Coyote, you are balled up in your own manipulations. You have created a befuddling, bewildering, confounding trick. Pick up the juggler eyes from the ground and get them back into their sockets. See through the genius of your own self-sabotage. Find it amusing and laugh, trickster, laugh.
If you cannot laugh at your game and your own crazy antics you have lost the game of life. Coyote always comes calling when things get too serious. The medicine is laughter and joking so that new viewpoints can be absorbed into your belief system.
June is a time of graduations, weddings and anniversaries. It’s time for stodgy old fogies to lighten up and add cheer to a party, or break up a “death grip” conversation with ease. Look at the positive side of sabotaging nosey questions about your personal life. Have fun telling that gossiper you just returned from St. Barts in your new Lear Jet!
June is a time to watch the people who enter your life. You may attract an all-knowing teacher, a scam-artist, a get-rich-quick scheme, a door-to-door salesman, a femme fatal, a movie producer, a television evangelist, a politician or any other person who wants you to follow their lead. Coyote is not the recommended business partner or lover.
June may be a time when everything you do backfires. All your jokes may be exploding in your face. Coyote signals a time to be aware of the intentions of others, and look for that boomerang which you threw out to another person come back in and hit you from behind. Someone else’s trick may be on you or there could be deception in the wind. Whatever June conjures up, it could be coming from any direction. Remember, the joker is wild!
JUNE CRYSTAL — Pearl – Tigereye
PEARL This gift from the sea brings tears to those who receive it. The pearl, as a standard jewelry piece and lovely as it is, reminds us of the oyster and other sea creatures. We have loved many products of nature and have destroyed nature in the process. Pearls are formal, correct and always beautiful.
TIGER EYE A variety of quartz. Beneficial for spleen, pancreas, digestive organs and colon. Emotional behavior and enhances connection with personal power and will. Creates grounding and centering. Helps soften stubbornness. Enhances clear perception and insight. Slightly masculine energy.
RUNE of the Month—Hagalaz–Disruption
Elemental Power – Hail
Hagalaz represents the urge to change. This Rune brings freedom, invention and liberation. The time of January energies of 2012 indicate a pressing need within the psyche to break free from constricting identification with material reality and to experience the world of archetypal mind.
Hagalaz is the Rune of elemental disruption, representing unaccountable weather conditions, sudden storms, winds and events beyond your control. The energies of January will be a time of Awakening although the form in which the awakening takes may vary for each one of us. Perhaps you will experience a gradual feeling of coming to your senses, as though you were emerging from a long sleep. Then again, the onset of power may be such as to rip away the fabric of what you previously knew as your reality, your security, your understanding of yourself, your work, your relationships and beliefs.
Be aware, however, that what operates here is not ultimately an outside force, not a situation of you at the mercy of the externals. Your own nature is creating what is happening and you are not without power in the situation. The inner strength you have funded until now in your life is your support and guide at a time when everything you’ve taken for granted is being challenged.
This time of January 2012 puts us all on notice! Severe changes are on the way! You may sustain loss or damage, a tree may fall on your home, your town may be hit by a tidal wave, or tornadoes, a relationship may fail, plans go wrong, a source of financial supply may dry up. Be forewarned! Be encouraged to understand and accept that what occurs is necessary, called for from somewhere within in your deepest self as a cry for a pressing need for soul growth.
There is nothing trivial about this RUNE. The more severe the disruption in your life, the more significant and timely the requirements for your growth. The term radical discontinuity best describes the action of this time, a Cycle of Runes at its most forceful. The Universe and your own Soul are demanding that you do, indeed, grow.
Don’t be afraid to make the leap or take the chance.
This has always been the section for Healing Requests. Through the power of group prayers, healing take place spontaneously. You can be of help to many others, as well as your loved ones, with one minute of silence at 7:30 pm EST every Sunday evening anywhere in the world. With a prayer for the recovery of health, universal energy is sent out to any and all who send in their prayer request. What is needed is the name and birth date of the ill person, along with a diagnosis, if possible. What are you asking to be lifted? When you place your request in the Healing Circle of Light—located in our Prayer Room; know that as soon as you make your Prayer request and Healing request, you will begin to see positive results!
(We have had thousands of responses. Keep the Prayers going for all concerned!)
