I’ve got some interesting friends. They are magicians and sorcerers trapped in modern day guises – like Carlos Castaneda in an attorney’s garb, auditioning for acting roles on the weekends, or the Goddess Salome wearing the guise of a stay-at-home home, her dance of the seven veils more like a juggling of baby diapers and over-cooked spaghetti sauce, while wearing a tiara. Their lives sizzle and pop when I talk to them, like a good cook’s onions brewing on a stovetop, but the peeled onion is such an old analogy for breaking down the layers of the mind – isn’t it?

Even if you don’t practice Mesoamerican sorcery using psychoactive substances like Ayahuasca, or the equally brave endeavor of sitting in silence for days, weeks or months like the Himalayan sage Devraha Baba who is said to be more than 150 years old, you are cooking your own recipe in life, based on the subterranean layers of your consciousness.

We have spoken about the attributes to look for in new relationships, but what if you wish to improve a relationship you are already in? We would like to discuss that today.

Many people lose their balance in their relationship by placing all of their focus on what their partner is doing. We remind you that the only thing you ever have control over is yourself. By taking your focus back, you step back into your authentic power. Then, by practicing self love and concentrating on your own growth and evolution, your world will naturally shift to reflect those changes back to you.

Dear Ones, people do not fall out of love, they fall out of appreciation. Remember how much you loved every last thing about your partner when you first met? How wonderful that felt, and how things just kept getting better and better? You were positively focused, which got you even more of what you loved! You can move back into that loving, appreciative place toward your partner whenever you like, which would be energetically supporting what you would like more of.

The final element you may wish to use to transform your existing relationship is to be fully present with your loved one. Dismissiveness can be a very hurtful energy. Honour your loved one with your attention. It is how you show another how loved, accepted and valuable they are to you. By being fully present and accepting, you become a safe person to the other, and they will naturally wish to connect more with you.

Some when referring to sexual attraction insist that everything starts from the mind. As new research shows, everything ends there! U.S. researchers announced that they had solved one piece of the mystery of what happens in the brain during sex by monitoring the activity of the female brain during an orgasm.

Research group from Rutgers University in New Jersey, using imaging machines, studied the brains of women during orgasm and found that different brain regions were activated depending on which body part was the source of sexual excitement. Specifically, the scientists identified thirty different parts of the brain that were activated, including the centers responsible for emotion, touch, joy, satisfaction and memory.

“Knowing the sequence of events from stimulation to orgasm allows us to see what parts of the brain become activated and in what order. If we can compare this to the brain activity in anorgasmic women, we can see at what point their orgasm gets blocked and work out whether it’s possible to get around that block,” said Barry Komisaruk of the Rutgers University.

BREATHE!   Greetings, we welcome this time of sharing with you. Today we would like to encourage you to go outside and play. If possible, get into nature and take a gentle walk, paying attention to all you see around you.

If you live in the city and cannot get to a rural area, then sit outside your door, preferably on the Earth and listen to the sounds of nature. Let the love of Source fill your Being as you bask in the glory of your Essence.

Breathe in and out in cycles of three.

On the first inbreath, feel a sense of peace coming over you; on the outbreath, send peace back to all of creation.

On the second inbreath, inhale pure love from Source feeling every cell in your body filled with love. As you breathe out, send love back to Source.

On the third inbreath, inhale gratitude from Source and all Beings. Then breathe out gratitude to Source and all Beings.

Continue this cycle of three breaths as long as you can. Feel your body, mind and soul relax as you receive and send peace, love and gratitude.

Counting sunspots over time helps in knowing the activity of our star but the two indices used by scientists disagree on dates prior to 1885. Now an international team of researchers has tried to standardise the historical results and has discovered that, contrary to what one may think, the solar activity of our times is very similar to that of other times, such as the Enlightenment.

Scientists have been counting sunspots since 1610 with small telescopes. Thus it has been verified that the Sun's activity increases every eleven years, according to the interval in the growth of the number of darker and colder spots in comparison with the rest of its surface. The more spots that appear, the more luminous the surrounding areas are, and our star shines brighter.

Nonetheless, the eleven-year cycles do not always have the same intensity. The more intense peaks of the Sun's luminosity were produced in the 20th century, which experts have called the 'modern maximum'. However, an international team of scientists has reviewed the historical data and has verified that there were also elevated values in other periods.
