Happy Chinese New Year!

The Chinese lunar New Year, the Year of the Dragon, began Monday and was celebrated in Asian communities around the world. So what does "Year of the Dragon" mean?

In Chinese astrology, the dragon is the most powerful and auspicious of the 12 signs of the zodiac, one associated with high energy, prosperity and change. This year is considered especially lucky because it is the year of the water dragon, something that only happens once every 60 years.

In general, Chinese astrologists like what they see.

A Taoist priest said, "The dragon year is a year of luck, growth and prosperity. The dragon represents the sky and moving up, just like this flame."

In a dragon year, he said, business will be good and money will come easily. And given our economy, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Fortunes as well as disaster will come in massive waves. This could be a year typically marked with a lot of surprises and violent acts of nature.

Tempers will flare the world over, and political change is always expected.

The Taoist priest said 2012 will definitely have its challenges, but fear not -- it's a water dragon year. The difference? The water will help cool and at least temper things down. :)

Ah yes. Amidst all the change and tumult that exists in all our lives it is sometimes difficult to remain centered and calm. We are continually guided to "be still", to "listen to our hearts"; but this can be very challenging when it seems as if every minute of our day is spoken for and we are constantly being bombarded with information from every imaginable source.

I received this "Life Tip" in my email earlier this month from Rev. Angela Peregoff. I pass it on to you because I have used it and found it to be a very helpful tool in assisting me to remember who I am and how I am connected. I hope it serves you as well:

It has been said that the longest journey is often the few inches from our head to our heart. In our society we value the intellect. For example, our educational system is based on developing the masculine qualities of reason and logic. Undervalued is the heart, the center of our soul, and the feminine qualities of goodwill, compassion and tenderness. We neglect the heart centered qualities. Headaches, worry, anxiety, insomnia, cancer and heart disease are only some of the consequences of ignoring the heart. Toxic relationships, crime and violence are others. When we cut ourselves off from our connection to our soul and inner guidance, we lose our way to our God Source. We must all eventually make the journey from our head to our heart in order to evolve. Why not make it now? It takes time and commitment to release the issues that keep us disconnected from our hearts. For temporary help try the following:

                Place the palm of one hand on the forehead over the
                3rd eye.                                  
                Affirm 3 times, "I am clear."
               Take a deep breath in and let it out with a sigh.
                Now move your hand and place it over your heart.
                Affirm 3 times, "I am here."
               Take another deep breath and let it out.

Exactly what is a solar flare and how does it affect us?

A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears to be a very bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption such as in the above photograph.  Solar flares release huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot.  They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun.

According to Mitch Battros – Earth Changes Media, “One of the best known prophecies/predictions of our Mayan elders is the message of a changing paradigm of our era.  In the words of the Maya, it is said that we are now in a time of “change and conflict”.  The change is coming from the ‘outside” in the way of weather, natural phenomena, celestial disturbance (sun flares) and manmade self-inflicted trauma.  The conflict comes from the ‘inside’ in the way of personal challenge, grief, bewilderment, depression, anxiety, and fear.  It is said we are “at the cross roads”.  A time of choosing a new path, deciding on a new self and community direction, venturing into the unknown, finding our true identity of being.  Others will choose to stay on the same road, stay with the familiar, and place great effort to maintain “predictability.” 

There appears to be a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms and human biological effect especially after an "M" class solar flare.  The conduit which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance is the very same conduit which steers Earth’s weather through the Magnetic Field on Earth, and also through the magnetic fields around humans. 

  Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms appear to happen after strong solar activity on the sun.

Geomagnetic Activity on the Sun Influences our Thoughts

I have noticed in my own research that solar activity is known to influence human consciousness.  Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System (stomach lining), all brain activity (including equilibrium), along with human behaviour and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response.  Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems and heart palpitations, feel nauseous, queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches. Do you have any of the above lately?  I am hearing from people in Canada, the U.S., South America, Japan, Greece, Malta, Belgium, Sweden, the UK, Australia etc. that all report the symptoms that I address after an episode of high solar flare activity.  I have also experienced these symptoms myself as have many of my clients.  Scientists don't seem to be addressing this, but we all know it is  real as we are experiencing it first hand.

Reunification of North Korea and South Korea with Japan. New capital of the union and new global financial centre to be established in Nara Prefecture (Japan). G5 Western banking cabal loses executive traction in Far East.

The covert régime change which took place in North Korea after the assassination by heart attack of leader Kim Jong-il on Saturday 17th December 2011, has changed the board. The removal of the Rothschild puppet has set in motion the energisation of ancient local alliances.

A substantive dialogue is in process about the reunification of the Korean peninsula and, further down the line, about an economic and political union between a united Korea and Japan. The capital being considered for this new supra-national entity is in the region of Nara and Tenri City, south of Osaka, Japan.

The two rival Korean royal houses, the Southern and Northern dynasties, have been competing for control Japan and the Korean peninsula for centuries. The Southern dynasty includes the current Japanese emperor and the hidden government bloodline rulers of South Korea. The Northern dynasty controls North Korea, Northern Japan and Okinawa, and has a powerful influence within mainland China.

The Southern dynasty is the power-group pushing for a unification of western Japan and South Korea, with a new capital city in Osaka. This royal syndicate is allied with the British Royal Family.

Until very recently, the Northern dynasty was in bed with the Rockefeller-Kissinger-Bush Nazi-continuum in the West. Word on the block is that these German/American Skull and Boneswrinklies are being kicked out. From now on, East intends to be East.

The Northern dynasty is keen to build bridges with the Southern dynasty. Both sides want positive, progressive change in the Korean peninsula and in the wider region. High-status planning talks are imminent.
