On the Attack!

Thu Mar 31, 2011 6:43 am (PDT)
Today I want to speak a little about how we beat ourselves up... why we
beat ourselves up and how to stop the cycle.
I would say that the majority of us have done this in one way or
another... we do something or don't do something and then beat ourselves
up over it.
Examples:
I should have said ....
I shouldn't have said....
I should have done this... or that ...I could have done more...
I could have gone farther...
I forgot this .. or forgot that ....
I could have ..
I should have...
Why didn't I...
Why did I....
blah blah blah ... the possibilities are endless..
Why do we feel so much guilt for things we did or didn't do?
Why then do we torture ourselves with it? Going over and over in our
heads .. arguing with ourselves and convincing ourselves that we are
less than we should/could be.For some, maybe making ourselves feel bad
is so familiar that it feels safe to us.. of course we don't "knowingly"
do this ... but we do it.Feeling bad can be so common to us that when
there is nothing else to make us feel bad .... we then abuse ourselves
in one way or another.. sometimes it is by talking ourselves down...
sometimes it is by making decisions that we know are not good for us...
and sometimes it is more like a constant arguing with yourself. How do
we stop this cycle?
Heck if I know!! I still do it ... for instance:
This past weekend I fell and hurt my hip and knee ... I've recently
signed up at the YMCA and am on a mission to rid myself of this excess
weight I've been carrying around ... so this week I have gone to the gym
.. I have worked out .. but not full force. My thought is that I don;t
want to push myself too far and hurt my knee more and then not be able
to work out at all... but as soon as I tell myself that is the reason
for not going full force.. I feel guilt .. I know I can do more and so I
argue with myself over my own answers...lol.. it's madness! I feel bad
for not doing more ... even though it truly is a possibility that if I
do push myself to go all the way that I could really strain my knee to
the point of being out of commission for a while.. so why can't I be
happy with what I have done.. why beat myself up for what I haven't
done?
Getting myself to the gym and doing what I've been doing this week is
far more than what I was doing so why is that not enough? Why do I feel
the need to beat myself up over it? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ..
I know many of you will relate...
Over the years, I do feel that I am doing better at not beating myself
up as I use to.. but it still happens ... I'm guessing the key is to
become aware that we are doing this and once it begins.. STOP! Let it go
no further. Pat yourself on the back for noticing and for putting an end
to the torture to more forward. Once step at a time...
Many Blessings and healing hugs,

This Is Not an April Fool's Spell

This Is Not an April Fool's Spell
On April Fool's Day,
don't waste time dodging pranks to prove how smart you are. Do something instead to increase your mental prowess. You will need a steady spring
wind; if it's blowing from the east—the direction associated with
intellect—all the better. You will also need a yellow kite on a long
string and some water empowered with the brain-boosting properties of
rosemary. Flick rosemary water from your fingertips onto both the kite
and yourself. Fly the kite high the air while visualizing it absorbing
the aspect of intelligent thought from the element of air. Direct this
aspect down the kite's string into your body.

What's Happening Today...April 1....April Fools Day
Live
each Season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the
fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. ~Henry David
Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
The term "All Fools," was probably meant as a deliberate stab at All Saints (November 1) and All Souls (November 2) Day. Although the origin of
playing practical jokes and pranks on this day is hazy, many folklorists believe it may go back to 16th-century France. At that time, New Year's Day was March 25, with a full week of partying and exchanging gifts
until April 1. In 1582, the Gregorian calendar moved New Year's Day to
January 1. Those who forgot or refused to honor the new calendar were
the butts of jokes and ridicule. Weather folklore states, If it thunders on All Fools' Day, it brings good crops of corn and hay.
Festival of Kali in India.
The Fortuna Virilis of Venus in Rome.
Day of Hathor in Egypt.
April Fool's Day
A woman who marries on April Fool's Day will be the boss in her family. [Kightly]
In Scotland, people
"hunt the gowk," that is send someone on a fruitless errand, by asking
them to bring back some impossible item like pigeon's milk, striped
paint, a copy of "The Life of Eve's Mother," elbow grease, hen's teeth,
etc. Another ploy is to send a person off with a sealed envelope to
deliver to someone else who opens it and reads this message:
Don't you laugh and don't you smile
Hunt the gowk another mile
Apparently similar
pranks were pulled in England. "Yesterday being the first of April,
several persons were sent to the tower Ditch to see the lions washed,"
reports Dawks' Newsletter in 1698.
Sometimes the person so fooled is known as an April cuckoo. In France, the fool is called an
April fish. People send joke notes signed with the symbol of a fish and
try to surreptitiously pin (paper, I assume) fishes to each other's
asses.
The origins of April
Fool's Day are unclear although it may have something to do with the
confusion caused by the change of the calendar. The New Year used to be
celebrated on March 25th until the eighteenth century. Those who got
confused and still celebrated New Year in April were considered April
Fools.
April Fool's Day has
similarities to many other festivities during which people are
encouraged to act foolish, for instance the Medieval Feast of Fools,
which took place on December 28th, or the election of a Lord of Misrule
on Twelfth Night or the license and role reversals of Carnival. Notice
that most of these also happen in this liminal period between the end of one year and the start of a new one.
According to the great
cookbook encyclopedia, Larousse Gastronomique, April Fool's day began in 1565 when the French King Charles IX issued a decree stating that the
year would begin on 1 January rather than 1 April. To protest this
unpopular change, people began sending each other worthless presents as
New Year's gifts on April 1st. As the sun happens to be in Pisces on
this date, the gifts became sweetmeats in the shape of fish. In France,
it is traditional to eat chocolate, marzipan or sugar fish. In Alsace,
cakes are molded into the shape of fish.
However, according to
Blackburn, the April fish is the mackerel, which is most abundant in
this month, and the French term maquereau also means "pimp." The term
poisson d'avril was a term used for anyone who served as a pander or
go-between in a love affair.
Sarah ban Breathnach in the identity of her alter ego, Mrs Sharp reports that her family goes
on outings, has a treasure hunt and enjoys a dinner of faux dishes like
mock turtle soup, hedgehogs and April fool for dessert. They also switch roles with the kids acting like the parents and the parents like the
kids. Other role reversals that might be fun on April Fool's Day: wife
and husband, teachers and students, male and female, boss and employees.

Venus Verticordia - This Roman festival was consecrated to Venus Verticordia (the
Heart-turner), "Goddess of Beauty, Mother of Love, Queen of Laugher,
Mistress of the Grapes." At the temple of Venus, women washed Her
statue, replaced her golden necklace and other jewelry, and offered Her
roses and other flowers. Women bathed in myrtle and scented water and
wore crowns of myrtle. Ovid says Venus requested them to bathe beneath
the green myrtle. English folklore says myrtle won't grow unless planted by a woman.
This day was also
called Fortuna Virilis, meaning "Men's Fortune." By classical times, it
was interpreted as "Luck with Men," for which women of the lower classes prayed to Venus in the men's baths.

Festival of Bast at Bubastis
Normandi
Ellis suggests celebrating this festival which occurred on the first
day of the Egyptian month of Payni at the time of the new moon in Aries.
It was one of the most important festivals in Egypt.
The legend says that
when Sekhmet, the lion goddess, was roaring with rage and about to
destroy all of humankind, Thoth tricked her into believing wine was
blood and the wine was so intoxicating that she lay down and began
purring and was transformed into the gentle cat goddess, Bast. Whereas
Sekhmet was associated with the sun, Bast is linked with the moon. Bast
is usually pictured as a woman with a cat's head surrounded by kittens.
She rules over festivals, intoxication, motherhood, sensuality and all
the arts.
The city of Bubastis,
the capital city of Bast, was also the wine capital of ancient Egypt and drunkeness was an important part of her festival. Herodotus said that
more wine was consumed in Bubastis at the Festival of Bast than at any
other time of the year. People also feasted on honeyed breads, raisin
cakes, pomegranates, figs, roasted fowl and meats.
People came from all
over Egypt for this festival and spent days dancing, making music,
singing songs, telling jokes and making love. The sistrum is the musical instrument associated with Bast. It was considered an emblem of love or an awakener of fertility.

Ovid, Metamorphoses
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:55 pm (PDT)
Time's a cheat, and cheats us all. Time, a thief,
steals from us all. Where does it keep
the years it has taken? Look, here is a man
who yesterday was just a boy. And look who looks
upon that man: who but Love herself, the goddess
Venus, wounded by her son Cupid, a careless lad
who kissed his mother while he still wore his quiver,
scarping her white breast with is barbed arrows.
And what becomes of her? Love, in love, abandons
all her temples and her island sanctuaries, even
hides from heaven, saying that her love is
more beautiful than heaven, more beautiful
than all the sea-ringed islands or rich mountain shrines
or even the voluptuous shade wherein she used to lie.
Love, in love, becomes a huntress, tucking up her robes
and running with bare feet across the rocky world.
~Ovid, Metamorphoses
Today was the Roman
feast of love, the Veneralia, named for their Goddess of love, Venus.
North of Rome, the German tribes revealed their wisdom about the effect
of seasons upon human life by installing a festival of frivolity and
levity at the end of dreary dark, winter. Vestiges of that festival
still remain today, as pranksters free the Fool in all of us to break
into spring.
The Roman territory was far south of that of the Germanic peoples, and spring is further
advanced when the Veneralia occurs. Their festival, too, holds great
wisdom about human needs and their relation to earth's seasons. Who does not feel the stirrings of love in spring? As the snow melts and the
days grow longer, as the buds swell upon the trees and catkins dangle
from branches, our sensual selves expand and stretch. Flowers burst into bloom, attracting bees to fertilize them; people, too, bloom again,
flirting and offering each other tenderness. In placing the festival of
Venus at this time, the Romans acknowledged the reborn power of
sexuality and love

Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

Healing Your Sole
Self-Reflexology
Our feet contain thousands of nerve endings and almost seventy acupuncture points which can support all over health.
Our feet are home to literally thousands of nerve endings and almost seventy acupuncture points, which is why foot reflexology is so effective. By massaging and stimulating specific areas on the soles of our feet, we can provide general support for our entire body, improve sleep patterns, increase physical and mental wellbeing and also alleviate chronic conditions such as sinusitis and digestive upset. Although it is wonderful to work with an experienced foot reflexologist whenever possible, we can also develop a practice of treating ourselves to a self-reflexology treatment if we take some time for this purpose before we begin our day or in the evening to relax before going to bed.
There are a number of different ways to work the soles of your feet, including walking barefoot on river stones, rolling each foot over a golf or tennis ball, or just using your fingers and hands to massage your feet. When starting a reflexology session, it's a good idea to begin with loosening up your ankles – rotate each foot clockwise then counterclockwise about ten times. You might also want to pinch the end of your toes, which can increase circulation and drainage in your sinuses and stimulate your pituitary and pineal glands. Then you can begin massaging the ball of your foot, the arch, and the heel. If you find that an area is tender, it may indicate some distress or dysfunction occurring in the corresponding area of the body. You may want to explore what is going on with that organ or system.
Whether we are able to spend just a few minutes a day on this kind of self-care or a full half hour, our efforts are never wasted. By taking responsibility for our own health and taking time every day to connect with our body, we can not only assist our body in letting go of stress and dysfunction, but we can also continue to support an ongoing sense of wellness and vitality.

All Planets in Our Solar System are Expanding, Part of Why We are Ha

All Planets in Our Solar System are Expanding
Images from NASA's various satellites targeting planets and those journeying
throughout the solar system provide evidence that our planets are ever
expanding, with hundreds of millions of tons of solar matter accumulating on
each to both provide matter and life for the continuous expansion of each
planet. Neal Adams enhances NASA film with illustrations evidencing the
expansion of planets and moons in our solar system.

Not only does this explain the shifting of the continents, it also
demonstrates the enormous stretch marks ripping through Earth's crust, such
as the Grand Canyon, evidence on other planets in our solar system as well.
