New Moon in Sagittarius 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under DNA Healing, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
The New Moon in Sagittarius brings with it excitement, big dreams, and the fiery dedication to breathe life into your goals. The New Moon is the perfect time to ignite new projects and this New Moon is intensified with a solar eclipse. The solar eclipse invites you to break from the past and make a brand new start. What better time to do that then during the New Moon? As we finish up 2011 use this New Moon to create the best year ever and become the best possible you! Over the next couple of days spend time dreaming BIG; begin planning and planting what you want to create.
The New Moon occurs on Friday November 25, 2011 at 1:11am EST (Nov 24, 2011 at 10:11am PST). It’s a time of rebirth, and the opportunity to begin a new cycle with the energy of Sagittarius. Sagittarius invites honesty and truth in regards to what motivates you. Sagittarius is the archer, and teaches us to rise above limitations related to outdated belief systems, thoughts, and patterns. It’s time to dart into new territories and expand your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns.
The characteristics of Sagittarius include trust, faith, optimism, and risk-taking. This can be implemented both internally and externally. Reach within to to find your true intentions and aspirations. The sacred stage is set to begin the next act. At this time ask yourself, “What can I let go of to make space for something new?”
This is the last full lunar cycle before the entrance of 2012. It’s time to follow your dreams without delay, doubt, or fear. As we close out another year, decide what you want to leave behind and set your intentions with the New Moon to hit the target this cycle. In numerology, 2012 brings with it the vibration of “rapid change” (as if we haven’t all experienced change lately). But the changes we’ve gone through have prepared us for the next leg of the journey. Whatever you can leave behind in 2011 will help you launch into the New Year with a huge advantage.
In honor of the New Moon we will be holding a live conference call (long distance charges apply) on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9pm EST (6pm PST). During the call we will talk more about the Sagittarius New Moon, discuss ways to enhance the manifesting process, and provide a guided imagery meditation to integrate your goals into the subconscious.

New Moon in Scorpio Affirmations 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
An affirmation is a conscious statement that is used to counteract incorrect thoughts or beliefs by retraining the brain. The affirmation sends a new message through the brain causing a new pathway for the neurons to follow.
Affirmations are a conscious way to create a desired programming. They work as a foundation for the neurons to travel a different pathway. The subconscious reacts to the new programming by either reappraising its current beliefs or avoiding the new information. Resistance is experienced when there is a large gap between what the subconscious currently believes and the new programming.
The subconscious typically finds it easier to maintain the old programming than to challenge the perceived inner truth. This becomes evident when there is a strong inner feeling of resistance when an affirmation is stated or written.
Continually reciting or writing affirmations chips away at the subconscious resistance. Once the resistance is broken through, the subconscious re-examines the core beliefs. Depending upon the depth of the core belief influences how easily it can be reprogrammed. The subconscious may go through periods of introspection as it re-examines the layers of beliefs and learned behaviors. You may experience significant resistance to this process due to extreme traumas experienced.
As you flow through this lunar cycle, use affirmations to transmute any undesirable thoughts, patterns, and emotions so you retrain your brain with what you want to attract.
New Moon in Scorpio Affirmations:
I easily let go and go with the flow
I ride the tide of life
I accomplish what I set out to do
I express my talents and true power easily
I plunge into life and express my passions
I follow my passions
I am free

New Moon in Libra 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
We usher in the New Moon in Libra on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 7:09am EDT (4:09am PDT). It’s the first new moon of fall and a time to gather the harvest of your hard work, acknowledging the wealth of balance, abundance, and joy.
The moon influences our emotions as well as the tides of the ocean. Around the New Moon our emotions influence us the least, contrasted to a Full Moon when our emotions are at their peak. Our emotions cloud our perceptions on a subconscious level, reflecting fears and doubts that limit what is manifested. But with each New Moon we have a few days where our emotions influence us less than any other time during the month providing clarity and freedom from emotional restraints.
Balance is the theme of this New Moon as it enters the astrological sign of Libra. With the busy summer months behind us, a sense of balance is restored as we get back into normal routines. It’s time to acknowledge areas of your life that are imbalanced, and with the support of Libra easily restore it.
Whether you’re seeing imbalance between your ego and intuition, male and female inner self or outer relationships, or the ego and intuition, Libra brings a sense of co-operation and harmony to life. We glean from Libra a sense of objectivity so we may view complex, highly emotionally charged situations with a balanced, detached approach. It’s a time to consider all options in a diplomatic way.
In honor of the New Moon we’ll be holding a FREE conference call on Monday September 26, 2011 at 9pm EDT (6pm PDT) where we’ll discuss the New Moon influences, manifesting, and visualize your goals with a guided imagery meditation. Click here to register, get conference call instructions, and a monthly reminder of upcoming New Moon calls.
Bring balance into your life with the New Moon in Libra and manifest your dreams and desires!

Gripping Fear
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
The swimming pool was a welcome relief from the sweltering summer heat. After a long day at work, my dad and I cooled ourselves in the neighborhood pool. We swam here several times a week, but tonight was different, my dad encouraged me to jump off the high dive. I looked at him in terror.
Over the summer I had mastered jumping and finally diving off the lower board, but this new request was scary! The high dive was SO high. From the pool, the platform looked like it was a million miles away. I could see other kids climbing the ladder to the platform and wanted to join them. But there was that little voice in my head telling me, “It’s too high, it’s too scary, this isn’t safe, you’ve never done something like this before!”
Finally with a lot of coaxing from my dad I reluctantly climbed the ladder. I made it to the platform and froze. The ground was so far away. The platform was moving from the wind and rebounding from other people jumping. My heart raced. Paralyzed with fear, I stood there as my white knuckles gripped the handrail. The kids behind me were encouraging me to go, but I couldn’t move. Trying to find the courage to jump, I let a couple of kids go in front of me. There wasn’t any reason I should do this. It’s scary and I don’t like feeling this way. Finally as tears welled up in my eyes I felt defeated. Fear won. I climbed back down the ladder.
Ah, good, back on solid ground. I’ll just swim for a while and forget I ever tried that. My dad was relentless. Like many parents he used guilt and shame to get me to do something. “Look at those kids up there, they’re doing it, you can too!” I kept resisting. Next came the bribe, I’d get a candy bar if I successfully jumped. Hummm… the pot got sweeter! Mustering up the courage, I climbed the ladder again. Legs shaking, heart racing, knuckles still white, I gripped the handrail and inched toward the end of the board. I stopped in fear. The handrail didn’t extend to the edge of the board. At some point I had to let go of it and walk out onto a bouncy board. My heart wanted to do this, but my hands wouldn’t let go. I edged back to the ladder and safety.
It was getting late and dinner was waiting. Oh good, it’s over, I’m safe!
A couple of days later we were back at the pool and back to my source of fear. But this time my dad encouraged both my younger brother and me to jump. Richard didn’t even hesitate. He climbed the ladder and walked off the end of the board. Rats! He did it! Even though he didn’t say anything, he taunted me with his actions. Wait, didn’t he think about how scary the jump would be? Didn’t he think he might hit the bottom of the pool? Didn’t he think he might die because he was underwater a long time? Pressure mounted for me to be next.
I took a deep breath, saying to myself, “You can do this, Richard just did it! Are you going to let him show you up?” There’s nothing like a little competition to motivate me. I reached the platform. I walked to the end of the handrail. I’ve been here before, but it was going beyond this point that scared me. With my heart racing, I still had to make the trek to the end of the board without the support of the handrail. My shaking legs began bouncing the board. With each step I wanted to retreat to the safety of the ladder, but I kept telling myself, “I’ve got to do this!”
When I reached the end of the board I heard the faint echo’s of my dad and brother’s voice, “Jump.” I’m not sure what happened next. Did I jump? Did I fall? Splash, I hit the water. A moment of terror engulfed me as I swam to the surface. Stunned and shocked I swam towards to side of the pool. Richard and my dad were screaming with excitement. I did it! I jumped off the high dive and survived!
I probably jumped off the high dive another twenty times that day. A few days later I began diving off it, and finally diving off and swimming underwater to the other end of the Junior Olympic sized pool. Even though I didn’t realize it at the time I faced some very big fears that day; fear of the unknown, fear of death, and fear of my little brother beating me!
Remembering moments like this and drawing from them has helped me face other circumstances in my life where fears cropped up. Fears are a defense mechanism set up by the ego. It’s the voice inside saying, “This is different, what will happen if I try it? What if I fail? I don’t want to disappoint myself. I don’t want to disappoint others. I don’t want to feel ashamed for failing. I would be better off playing it safe!”
But living in safety of our past experiences doesn’t help us reach new goals.
Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results.”
The ego is the voice inside that wants to keep us safe. But the false perception of safety set up by the ego is based upon our past experiences – both successes and failures. The ego plays upon past failures, experiences, and perceived threats to preserve itself.
In a split second my fear of the unknown, death and falling was overshadowed by my younger brother doing something I was scared to do. I couldn’t let him do that! The voice in my head (the ego) was overpowered by my heart’s desire overcome my fears. Being a little kid at the time I didn’t know what fears were. But I know what they are now. I know how they paralyze my actions if I allow it.
Fear = Resistance
Resistance isn’t about the change it’s about fear of the “unknown.” The unknown is this black hole; we are blind to the possibilities because the ego’s first response is fear. What if I get hurt? What if I fail? What if I disappoint myself, again? What if I disappoint others?
Do you remember a time you when you feared trying something new? Were you able to overcome your fears? After you did it, did you ask yourself, “Why did I wait so long to try this?”
What fears are holding you back from getting what you want? Join us for the upcoming “Living an Empowered Life” 3-week teleseminar held Tuesdays, September 6, 13, 20, 2011 and learn how to overcome your fears so they no longer stop you.

New Moon in Leo Affirmations
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing
With the New Moon in Leo it’s a time to tune into our “heart’s desires”. Leo is ruled by the sun. It’s no wonder that Leo’s are the actors/actresses of the world! This lunar cycle we all benefit from being on the center stage. Use it’s powerful energy to take BIG steps towards your goals.
In conjunction with the New Moon, we are also entering the 5th Day/5th Night of the Mayan calendar. The 5th Day/Night in the Mayan calender are two of the most energetic phases, bringing consciousness to a new level. This 36 day window is the perfect time for transitions. The theme for this 9th Wave of the calendar is about Unity Consciousness. We see this in many aspects where there has been division and chaos, people are speaking up and demanding change. We will continue to see changes on a global level as well as within our own hearts.
As a foundation is crumbling, life may feel unstable. Know that your Creator has a wonderful plan in store for you; have faith in the process, and trust the outcome will be better than you could imagine. When you feel out of sorts or fearful about what’s transitioning in your life use affirmations and meditation to keep you on track.
New Moon in Leo Affirmations:
I am joyfully doing ________________
I am following my heart’s desires
I am projecting my love, out into the world, to erase all errors and to break down all barriers
I am the power of infinite love, amplifying itself
The Universe supports me mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually

Full Moon in Capricorn 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Full Moon, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
Emotions spark this week with the full moon on Friday July 15, 2011 at 2:39 am EDT (July 14 at 11:39 pm PDT). This full moon encourages us to focus on the structures, systems, and organizations of our external world. Where are you seeing cracks in the foundation? How do they affect your productivity?
What intentions you set during the new moon are either building or disintegrating during the full moon. The Capricorn moon embodies integrity, perfection, leadership, responsibility, and maturity. In opposition, the sun in Cancer calls to our inner world of emotions, nurturing, and dependency. What is coming up between your inner and outer worlds could be testing your strength. This dichotomy is an opportunity to pierce the veil of denial and take responsibility for your choices.
We have a full spectrum of responses available and can learn to artfully move between them, thus mastering ourselves by flowing between our emotions while taking responsibility and crafting life. It’s time to free ourselves from dependencies from other people (where possible), addictions, and stories that keep you tied to the past. Once free from these barriers you can more freely create what you want.
The full moon illuminates our planet. It enlightens emotions, relationships, and patterns that still need our attention and resolution. Strengthen the mind/body/spirit connection and face what is brought to the surface. With the full moon you may see life differently. The focus is on relationships – with your family, co-workers, community, and especially yourself. Now is the time to let go of anything that no longer serves you and heal any rifts that keep you disconnected. Resolving outstanding resentments, anger, shame, and guilt helps shift your perceptions so you see yourself and your world differently.
Allow only loving, supporting relationships into your life, letting go of all others. Surround yourself with situations and people that lift your spirit and encouraging you to reach new heights. Take the time during the Full Moon to assess what areas you still need to resolve!
Create a ritual writing down what’s coming up for you and burning it under the Full Moon – releasing it through the smoke to the heavens. Then recite affirmations to bring in new energy and replace what’s been released.
Affirmations:
I attract loving, supportive relationships
I love and accept myself unconditionally
I move beyond old limitations and now allow myself to express freely and creatively
Use the power of the Full Moon in Capricorn to release and free yourself from old patterns. Do you need help in understanding/resolving you’re specific situation? Contact Jana for a personal session or join our upcoming 3-week teleclass beginning in August 2011 (details coming by next Monday).

New Moon in Cancer Affirmations
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
With the New Moon/Lunar Eclipse it’s a time to tune into the sensitive, empathetic aspects of Cancer to enhance your goals. The eclipse brings about breaking patterns and old energy so there is space for the new. This may be seen in organizations, institutions, individually, and in the environment.
As you go through this cycle, beware you are subject to fears generated by the collective consciousness. Look at your responses asking yourself, “Is this how I feel or am I taking on the fears of others?” This will help you stay centered and grounded. Security-conscious Cancer makes us aware of our needs and fears. But this new moon isn’t about planting seeds of security it’s about breaking up the soil to prepare.
As a foundation is crumbling, life may feel unstable. Know that your Creator has a wonderful plan in store for you; have faith in the process, and trust the outcome will be better than you could imagine. When you feel out of sorts or fearful about what’s transitioning in your life use affirmations and meditation to keep you on track.
Cancer Affirmations:
I easily flow with change
I easily separate my feelings from the collective consciousness
I am flexible and flowing
I resist less and surrender more
I easily let go and trust the Universe to support me
If you need help with emotional distress or understanding how to work through this process, contact our office for an appointment!

New Moon/Eclipse in Cancer 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
The New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Cancer happens on July 1, 2011 at 4:53 am EDT (1:53 am PDT). This is the third eclipse within the past 30 days and is triggering necessary changes.
The new moon is the time for rebirth, new beginnings, a clean slate, planting new seeds, and is the perfect time to revisit existing goals or begin new ones. This new moon highlights the qualities of the astrological sign of Cancer – intuition, empathy, sensitive, and contemplative. Cancer is also ruled by the moon adding and extra dose of power to this New Moon.
The eclipse is brimming with expressive energy! It accelerates transitions in our situations, events, and issues, demanding our complete attention. The influence of this eclipse/new moon will last for up to a year. Where do you want to see change in yourself and your life?
The eclipse shakes up our world and creates necessary changes within and outside ourselves needed to clear our path and help us grow. These changes may seem dramatic, harsh, and sudden, and may provoke fears, anger, confusion, and frustration. But this is a time where we can make big changes depending upon our reaction to this energy. Where is your attention focused? What do you want to resolve and release? What do you want to create?
Now is the time to focus on what your subconscious is bringing to the surface and face it. The emotional, empathic energy of Cancer will assist you in dealing with unresolved emotional issues that are hiding below the surface. You have the support of your Creator, and inner courage and strength to resolve what is demanding your attention now. Keep reminding yourself of that each time you feel fearful, doubtful, or weak.
In honor of the New Moon/Eclipse we will be holding a live conference call on Thursday June, 30, 2011 at 9pm EDT (6pm PDT) where we will discuss the energy of this new moon, ideas for setting and manifesting your goals, and a guided imagery meditation to assist you in releasing the old and integrating the new. Click here to register for the FREE conference call.
Manifest more by using the power of the upcoming New Moon/Eclipse in Cancer on July 1, 2011 to create what you want in the coming month. Expect miracles to happen to you; you deserve it!

To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
