InSight By Damaris  (PART ONE)
July 2012

Overview
Keywords for the month of July 2012:
Care
Compassion
Attitude

This month’s reading suggest we tune in to caring for our spiritual and physical bodies.
By making intentional contact with the complexities of the physical body, we learn to care for it properly.
As we develop this relationship, we begin to tune in to what it needs. From here, we search for remedies rather than temporary fixes.
Our renewed connections with the dynamic vehicles that tote our spirits around on this earthly plane, allow us to pull away from learned thoughts like:
“Diabetes run in my family and is why I have it.” Or “Because of my childhood abuse, I obese about food and have learned to accept that.”

Unity and compassion for the self dispel diabolical myths; our bodies and minds have and always had the ability to heal.

July 2012 is also about developing intimate relationships with the spiritual self.
This translates to focusing on spiritual matters first; working the spirit world, and then assess material situations.
Spiritual practices and communication with Spirit family (guides, master teachers and ancestors) should be looked at closely here.
Utilizing all resources including the unseen is suggested.

If dissatisfaction plagues the material mind, this read suggest looking for peace within.
A house has a solid foundation when the inner workings are derived from love.

This read ask us to rid our homes of audacious attitudes that prevent us from obtaining an authentic life.
One should search the heart for resentment and fear (two main ingredients that create disruptive attitudes) that may be hanging on for dear life.
Investigate the soul and mind by asking why a particular spiritual or religious path was selected.
By doing that exercise, one may discover unresolved emotions.
 If you joined an organization because its purpose was to release you from worldly discomforts, your heart may be filled with disappointment if your expectations have not been met; ask if your expectations have been misplaced.
Churches, Spiritual Centers etc are there to assist you while you assist yourself.

This month, gathering strength to make adjustments within the inner home brings a certain unmovable peace that will be useful in the months ahead.

                                                   The Mother Of The Zodiac
Dear readers,
this month I have decided to focus on the sign of Cancer because it can be described as The Mother of the Zodiac (regardless of gender).
With this being noted, we all have been influenced by mother energy and it is quite possible we have adopted certain behaviors to claim as our own.
This month’s overall focus is about caring for the inner self as mentioned in the overview; hence it is vital that we examine the self for old patterns that may be expired.
Please continue reading below and then ask if some or all of the insight reflects you.
If you can relate, take the time to do the exercise just below the Cancer insight.

Cancer- Use your deep emotions to explore the depths of various situations.
This reading says you have 3 scenarios to address: home, relationships, and inner
battles.
When you use your logical mind to explore your sensitivities, you activate the ability to access doable solutions that create a dynamic shift in your life.
After dissecting your concerns, you may discover one common thread that has limited every facet of your life.
Cancer tends to hold on to things forever (literally).
Pain, deception, ideas, family, friends, you name it, Cancer will hold on.
It’s as though holding on has turned into a mechanism of false power or energy that fuels and refuels the emotional reservoir.
Long after an idea or relationship has ended, the Cancerian chooses to hold on to its ghost; surely this can’t be proactive..or maybe it is.

Holding on to life experiences including pain, may be used as teaching rods and a way to measure and obtain mastery.
I am also feeling there is a fine line and if not precise, the  “ghosts” may haunt what should be a new experience or lesson limiting the freedom.
Like water, Cancer must be flexible and limitless.
This month, examine your ghosts and send them to the light if they are not serving you.

                                                            ALTER CALL

If your heart has been aching and you just want to release and be free of emotional burden, here is an exercise you can do (again and again if needed).

1.     Create an alter. This can be in your mind or a physical one.

2. On this alter you place images or items that represent the four directions.
For an example, the earth element can be represented by stones or sand. A feather can speak for the air element, etc.
You may want to do this with sincerity because the elements speak for the elements within you; we are an extension of nature.
3.) On a piece of paper adhere words, pictures, symbols, etc. that describe emotional pain or personal demons you desire to release.
4.) Sit quietly in front of your alter. Take your time and see exactly what you will let go of. Allow you to feel this energy. Now, give that energy a name or create a symbol for it.
5.) Create a unique prayer or mantra (a mantra or prayer never used before). Conjure the spirit of the loving energy within you, or imagine feeling the sun’s warmth over you when you have felt cold. Now say your mantra.
6.) After you repeat your prayer or mantra as many times as you like, now say, “I release_________________ right now.”  The blank is filled in with the name or symbol you gave the energy you want to release mentioned in line number 4.

Immeasurable peace to you and your loves. -damaris
