Intensity Builds with the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
On Wednesday June 15, 2011 at 4:14pm EDT (1:14pm PDT) we the experience the power and grace of the full moon. The moon reflects our underlying emotions and brings them to light, thus magnifying those that need to be resolved and healed. This full moon will be even more intense with the accompanying complete lunar eclipse.
This full moon in the Sagittarius-Gemini axis brings up issues related to the mind, awareness, and judgment. The full moon in Sagittarius brings up aspects of “higher consciousness” such as using our intuitive abilities, innate responses, and expansion into seeing the bigger picture, while the polarity of Gemini focuses on the “lower mind” and brings up a more rational approach. Ultimately a balance between the two is ideal.
This eclipse and full moon is about communication, a sense of adventure (Sagittarius), resolving emotional wounding, and letting go of old beliefs and prejudices. By cleaning out your emotional closet and letting go of the past, you’ll create space for the new adventure that has been building for the past several weeks. Be open to the realm of possibilities over the next several weeks and see what unfolds for you.
Some sort of crisis could shake things up causing you to break out of the old paradigm and bringing new awareness to a situation. Instead of getting caught in victim mode, look at it as a blessing that frees you from the chains that have held you back.
Emotions will be intensified over the next several of days (before and after the full moon) so watch yourself and instead of getting caught up in them take a step back and observe what going on. Keep yourself grounded through meditation, connecting deeply with the center of the earth, or spending time in nature.
The universe is awakening us to a new way of living and moments such as these are the catalyst for great changes within us. Be open and aware of the energy over the next several days and adjust your responses to allow yourself to fully benefit from what it being brought up for you.
Manifest your desires and dreams during the full moon/lunar eclipse by resolving what the moon is reflecting back to you! Let go of your fears and trust the Universe is providing the best possibilities for your healing and evolution. Use the energy of this full moon/lunar eclipse to shift your awareness and open up to new adventures.

Perceptions of Injustice
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Inner Alchemy
One of the most difficult issues we humans have a challenge in is resolving our perceptions of injustice. Our perceptions of injustice stem from our judgment that something is unfair. But it is our perceptions of the situation that hold us back from healing our emotional body and evolving. We become emotionally paralyzed because of situations we experience instead of forgiving ourselves and others and healing from them.
As Don Miguel Ruiz says, “We create stories around our experiences.” We become vested in these stories by saying, “I am the way I am because this situation happened to me. If something different had happened I would be ….” The story becomes justification for our results. Our stories can only hold the power we give them. When we no longer empower our story, we empower ourselves. The emotions of our stories no longer control us. We are open to new experiences.
Imagine being born into this world today. You could justify that this world sucks; we humans have ruined the world with pollution, corruption, violence, exploitation, oppression, recession, and anything else people can judge as being wrong with it. Do the children today really stand a chance of success? These are all perceptions of injustice. But what about the beautiful people working to make changes, technology that provides instant global information or other modern conveniences? It all comes down to what we choose to experience in our earthly life. Do we hold onto our injustices or move beyond them with forgiveness?
As Albert Einstein said, “Energy is never created nor destroyed, it simply changes form.” Since humans are a form of energy we existed before coming to earth and we will exist after this experience – we simply change form. It’s my belief that before coming to earth, we came from a space where only love existed. We knew nothing else. When you only experience one side of something, how can you fully appreciate it? In our earthly experience we have the opportunity to feel the opposite of love so we can learn how to choose and experience love again. It is our free agency to make choices and change our future results. But far too often people fear something different because there is no frame of reference for the new experience.
Imagine that the earth didn’t rotate. On one side of the earth the sun is always shining and on the other side it is always the night sky. A person raised in a place where the sun shines all the time wouldn’t understand darkness if the person from the dark side of the planet described it to them. They have no point of reference, no understanding of the concept of darkness. And the same is true of the person raised with only the night sky.
By coming to this earth we are given experiences to help us gain a full perspective of our lessons. We can’t judge a situation as being good or bad without a full understanding of the lesson to be learned. Unfortunately, we only have some of the information related to our life and must rely on our Inner Wisdom (God/Goddess, Source, Spirit) who has a full perspective of it. The more we learn to rely on our Divine Intelligence we learn to break free of the human drama.
Getting caught up in judging a situation as being “unfair” is part of our human experience. Learning to heal them is one of our human lessons. During our Inner Alchemy weekend retreat you’ll learn information, techniques and guidance to assist you in the healing process. It’s being offered in Northern California on October 9-10, 2010. This retreat will have a profound effect on healing your emotional body. Click here for more information about Alchemy and the upcoming event. If you’re unable to attend the October event, this information is also available in private sessions by phone and in-person, please contact our office or visit http://JanaGroscost.com for more information.

Health Tip: Meditation
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
Meditation isn’t only for Tibetan monks or spiritual gurus. Meditation is something everyone benefits from. We get so caught up in our busy lives and the busy voices in our head, we often forget or neglect to take time for ourselves to relax. Scientific study shows that calming the mind, soothing the emotions, relaxing the body, literally frees the soul. The mind, body, and environment benefit from daily meditation.
There are many benefits to quieting the mind. On a physical level, meditation helps release stress, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep patterns. It deceases to heart-rate and slows blood flow. It decreases muscle tension and headaches. Helps reduce chronic physical ailments, pre-menstrual symptoms, enhances post-operative healing, and enhances the immune system. It also boosts serotonin levels which influences our moods and behavior.
When you have a particular physical issue, as you begin meditation you can focus on energy being released from the area and infusing it with positive loving energy. This process can be done for yourself and others you want to help in their healing process. You can use affirmation such as “My body is healthy and strong,” “I have healed my physical body,” “My immune system is healthy.”
Meditation stimulates creativity and insight into solving problems. By setting the intention prior to meditation on providing new insight into resolving a specific problem, new information or alternative approaches to resolving it will come to light. It helps with the way we approach other people or enhances our approach to our work. You can add affirmations before your during your meditation such as “I easily resolve this problem,” or “I easily work with __________.”
Many people have learned the benefits of quieting the mind when used before a big meeting, sales presentation, interview, or audition. It provides focus and sets the intention of the desired result. Meditation is a powerful and simple way to improve the results in your life. Before an event you can slow your breathing and focus on the result you want by using affirmations such as “I present a powerful meeting,” “I confidently present my product/service and people purchase this from me,” “I perform beautifully,” or “I get the part.”
The focus of meditation is to slow down the breathing and the brain activity. By quieting the mind, closing the eyes, and removing distractions, we reduce stimulation that distracts us from getting the results we really want.

Beliefs
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
We humans are powerful because we have strong faith. Where is that faith vested? Our faith supports “our story” and what we believe about ourselves. This is why change cannot happen by “wishing” for it. Our beliefs are strong.
You may say, “I am successful… or healthy… or whatever.” But your belief is “I am not successful… or healthy…. or whatever.” The belief overrides your wish to become your desire. Until the belief is changed to be aligned with the wish, failure is inevitable.
Changing a belief is possible. You must challenge every belief that is used to judge yourself, reject yourself, and make yourself small. Whenever the voices in your head put you down, stop them! This breaks the chains that bind your progress, releases the limitations that hold you back from greater love, more success, peace, happiness, and joy!
You are worthy and deserve to receive everything you want. Squash the beliefs that are hindering your success.

Love or Fear?
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
Don’t believe everything you hear. We’ve all heard it before, but now take it one step further “don’t believe everything you think.” Our minds are an amazingly powerful tool. Have you mastered how to use it to support what’s best for you?
Everything is your choice; how you choose to view the world and interact with it. Do you tell yourself “It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be expensive, or it’s more than I can handle?” Many people defeat themselves before they even begin. What if you said, “It’s going to be easy.” It’s always your choice. You are more POWERFUL than you could ever imagine. What choices will you make today?

Wise Tip: Expression
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting
“Our only real job is to be as fully expressed as possible and to channel the utmost goodness into everything we do.”
Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to express yourself to the fullest in everything you do? This is the foundation of “living in the present moment.” Each of our senses is engaged to enhance every experience instead of mindlessly following repetitious patterns.
By immersing all of the senses into every experience, we learn to feel more deeply and think more expansively. We listen with our hearts to inner promptings and insight, instead of conventional reasoning. We attune ourselves to greater opportunities available to us by making time to listen and observe our world. Subtle patterns begin to emerge and direct us on a path towards revelation, peace, self-development, and understanding.

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.
