MEDITATION
THE GOLDEN ROSE OF SUMMER
The Life That Makes All Things New
As you accept with patience and surrender the difficulties you encounter throughout life on a daily basis, so will you find flowing into you through the Crown Chakra, a light or life-force which will remove all anxiety and pain, making each day a new experience. This comes to each one of us gently, slowly, as we open ourselves from within to the gifts of Spirit. Occasionally you will become aware of a glow within your heart, or of a light feeling, and you will become aware of the harmony which is shaping your life right now through the power of the Divine.
If you direct the right thoughts to those around you, and begin to put the action of the Law of Love in front of any circumstances you may find yourself in, you will find that these troubles and upsets will gradually smooth themselves out. Events will begin to work more harmoniously for you and you will begin to feel, “God is very good to me.” You will begin to realize that within you, as you practice your daily meditations, there is a power building, a feeling of Love, which is helping you actively. This will guide you towards the desired balance of Love, Peace and Harmony within your heart.
This glow within your heart which brings to you such sweet happiness and joy may remain for a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days – and then may disappear. Never fear for slowly this power and gratitude will increase in you. As your life continues, you will experience this renewing energy more often, for you are Ascending up a spiral of light and vibration which will eventually bring you, as a Daughter or Son of God, into the kingdom of eternal light and bliss.
Pray and and meditate on the yellow golden rose, the flower of God. You are looking at this rose from afar, as something outside of you. But it is within your heart, always! The petals of this divine flower are slowly opening as you chant your prayers, 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 flowers. The light from above and the light from the flower blend as one…as you swoon into the bliss of Divine Love
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.
Think about expansion, relocation, property investment or inheritance as Jupiter travels through your 4th House this year, Gemini. This fortunate period, which happens only once every twelve years, ups your communication and networking. You may decide to dig into your saved funds and invest in a new home or expand some facet of your domicile. Planning on having another child, or perhaps your first one? Perhaps a roommate or new marriage partner? A new pet? Maybe! Jupiter just loves to travel, and if you’re ready for a move, it could be to another state, coast to coast, or perhaps another country. If you stay put, your home will be of great comfort to you, and you’ll appreciate family, friends, and children more than ever before. This can be a truly positive time, with windfalls falling from out of the blue. Easy now, remember the expansive side to Jupiter. Don’t spend money you don’t really have, over-extend your credit, or allow too much weight gain.
Based on the Rune (Retreat) and Animal (Hummingbird), June 2014 brings a time of .

ANIMAL: HUMMINGBIRD
Joyful little sister,
Nectar you crave!
All the sweetness
Of the flowers,
Is the love you gave
Hummingbird is associated with the Ghost Shirt religion, which taught that a certain dance done properly would bring about a return of the animals, and that white people would disappear. Once again the Original People would know the joy of the old ways. In Mayan teachings, Hummingbird is connected with the Black Sun and the Fifth Astral World. Hummingbird can give us the medicine to solve the riddle of the contradiction of duality.
The song of Hummingbird awakens the medicine flowers. Hummer sings a vibration of pure joy. Flowers love Hummingbird because nectar-sucking brings about the reproduction of their families. Plants flowers, Honeysuckle, live because of Hummingbird.
Hummingbird can fly in any direction — up, down, backwards, and forwards. Hummingbird can also hover in one spot and appear to be motionless. Great Spirit created Hummingbird to be slightly different from other feathered creatures.
Because of their magical qualities, Hummingbird feathers have been used for a millennium in the making of love charms. It is said that Hummingbird conjures love as no other medicine does, and that Hummingbird feathers open the heart. Without an open and loving heart, you can never taste the nectar and pure bliss of life.To Brother and Sister Hummingbird, life is a wonderland of delight — darting from one beautiful flower to another, tasting the essences, and radiating the colors.
June 2014 brings Hummingbird as its special healing medicine. Enjoy your love life and its joys. Know also that your presence brings joy to others. You join people together in relationships which bring out the best in them. You know instinctively where beauty abides and, near or far, you journey to your ideal. You move comfortably within a beautiful environment and help others taste the succulent nectar of life. Hummingbird holds the Bow of Beauty, which is delicately inlaid with gold and silver flowers, pearls, and precious jewels. Hummingbird disdains ugliness or harsh words, and quickly flies away from discord or disharmony.
So — June 2014 brings laughter and a time to enjoy the many gifts of our creator. Drop your judgmental attitude and relax. Hummingbird will no doubt give you a flash of Spirit, darting here, there, and everywhere. Get ready for a strange new burst of energy which may send your senses reeling. Hummingbird hears celestial music and is in harmony with it. Hummingbird may invite you to an art museum or a concert. Hummingbird energetically embraces the highest aesthetics.
Never be coarse in front of Hummingbird, for this is a fragile medicine which may have no understanding of worldly affairs. Beauty is the target, and the Hummingbird mission is to spread joy or be destroyed. Hummingbird quickly dies if caged, caught, or imprisoned. So — follow your Hummingbird and you will soon be filled with paroxysms of joy, and experience a renewal of the magic of living!
CRYSTAL FOR JUNE — PEARL and TIGER EYE
PEARL This gift from the sea can bring 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
Othila—RETREAT
Separation—Inheritance
Othila represents real property, acquisition and benefits. It seems strange to say, but the benefits you receive, the inheritance, may be derived from something you must give up. This can be particularly difficult when that which you are called upon to give up or abandon is part of your background and your cultural inheritance. For then you must look closely at what, until now, you have proudly claimed as your birthright. Whether it is your attachment to your position in society, to the work you do or even the beliefs about your own nature, the separation called for now will free you to become more truly who you are.
Othila is the Rune of the separating of paths. Old skins must be shed, outmoded relationships discarded. This Rune has appeared in the Gemini energies for June 2014, advises us that a peeling away is now called for. This is the Rune of radical service!
The proper action here is submission, and, quite probably, retreat. Retreat in the sense of reserve in your conduct; for knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing that anyone can learn. Know when to retreat and have the firmness of character to carry it out.
Take pains not to be mechanical or unaware of what is happening around you. This is not a time to be bound by old conditions and old authority. When going through changes, release and letting go, ask yourself what feels right for you and act according to the Light you possess now in your life. Because you may be called upon to undertake a radical departure from the old ways, total honesty is required. Otherwise, through negligence or refusal to see clearly, you may cause pain to others, or damage to yourself.
Not rigidity but flow is the proper attitude at this time. And yet you must wait for the Universe to act. Othila – June’s Rune – reminds us that we do without doing, and everything gets done.
