11:11

Today's date is significant for a number of reasons:

• It encompasses the master number, 11:11 (master numbers are highly charged and require time, maturity, and great effort to integrate into one's personality).

• Eleven (1+1 =2) encourages us as individuals to harness our leadership qualities while remembering that we are only a small part of the "we" in the world.

• November 11, 2009 also add up to a six (11+11+2+9 = 33, reduced to a single digit equals 6) which represents the energy accountability, balance, home and family.

Depending on whether or not you are living up to your full spiritual potential, today's energy can promote clarity or delusion and as far as I have been able to ascertain through my research, it is the first time (in our lifetime) the master number has shown up as a date.

So, on this spiritually significant day, here are a few thoughts to ponder...

 ~ Follow your instincts and enhance your unique creativity

~ Take a close look at how you are living your life; strive for truth, honesty and accountability

~ Rise above pettiness and small-mindedness and embrace love and kindness

~ Watch your thoughts--be careful what you are putting out into the universe

~ This is a prime opportunity to have your thoughts and desires promptly manifest

~ Let go of past hurts and things that no longer serve you or bring you joy and peace

~ Unlock your true potential

I stumbled across a very interesting-looking book, "11:11, The importance of putting Jesus first in your life" by Haven D. Mankin.  This struck a cord with me as I have been making a conscious effort to spend the first hour of every day in prayer/worship so I'm eager to read this book.  I have downloaded the book and took a quick peek but have have not yet read it. Click here to download the free eBook. If you get around to reading it before I do, I would love to hear your thoughts. I invite you to come back here and leave your comments to this post and the book!

Toxic Business Names

IS YOUR BUSINESS NAME BAD FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

I've been forced to take a close look at Pampering U.  I started the business in 2002 and while I have enjoyed moderate success, there have been many challenges that have, from time to time, made me wonder whether I had chosen the right type of business.

I have created a fantastic product line--natural and organic bath and body products, color therapy and chakra balancing products, etc.--yet throughout the years, I've been plagued with issues like, not being able to visualize and create a suitable logo, product label design, website design, etc.  I won't even get into the countless encounters I've had with graphic artists who were more intent on giving me what they wanted me to have instead of what I wanted and asked for...

Recently, I had an epiphany: to run the numbers on the company name using numerology.  What I found was astounding!  The name Pampering U has a number 3 vibration and it just so happens the number 3 is a challenge number for me (I'm a Life Path #7).  So, I have decided to cease using the current name--effectively immediately--and come up with a new name.  Changing the company name will be a bit of a challenge initially as I will have to change all the company documents, the website, marketing materials, etc. but in the end it will be worth it.  I feel deep in my soul that I am on the right path here and I'm taking the positive comments and reviews from my customers over the years as further confirmation.

Sunday is a Yellow Day

The Solar Plexus Chakra (named Manipura) is associated with the color yellow (or gold) and like the other chakras is associated with a day of the week--Sunday.

The third chakra furthers the development of self-esteem and personality separate from your tribal identity (this is where we lean to draw and maintain boundaries and a personal code of honor) and is considered the center of Chi, the life force energy (also known as Reiki). The sacred truth of this chakra is Honor Oneself - Be mature and honorable in the relationship you have with yourself and accept responsibility for the person you have become.

When this energy is balanced we feel outgoing, cheerful, have self-respect and respect for others, have a strong sense of personal power and more. We take on new challenges, enjoy physical activities and good food.

When there is deficient yellow energy we may feel depressed, a lack of confidence, worry about the opinions of others and are afraid of being alone.

Excessive yellow energy make us feel judgmental, overly intellectual and sexually inhibited.

Saturday is an Indigo Day

The Brow or Third Eye chakra (named Anja), located at the level of the forehead, is associated with and visualized as a deep indigo blue color. This is the center of visual, psychic and intuitive perception—the place where we store our memories, perceive our dreams, and imagine our future. It is also often referred to as the "third eye" or the "mind center." It is our avenue to wisdom--learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective.

The Brow chakra is our intuitive level, bringing us information through internally experienced visual imagery. Dreams are the clearest example of this. Clairvoyant sight is the ultimate example—the product of an open and functioning Ajna chakra. The purpose of this center is to become aware of the images inside our minds—the ones we perceive and the ones we create—so that this vast visual screen can be used consciously to call images at will and bring us information unavailable through other means.

For most of us, Saturday is a day for relaxing, doing household chores, shopping, socializing, etc. As you go about your day, surround yourself with the indigo color: wear indigo (blue jeans are the perfect attire for Saturdays) or indigo related gemstones like lapis or amethyst, eat blueberries or blackberries or listen to a Brow chakra meditation to bring balance and harmony to this center of perception. Strive for clarity of thought and perception and discard information that may keep you bound to the negative events in your life.

I Won the Lottery!

I was anticipating my August email newsletter from Glynis McCants, The Numbers Lady, because the information she presented in the July newsletter (see post dated 7/5/08 below) was very accurate. Since I'm all about making my life easier and Glynis' numerology information always seems to help me steer clear of potentially explosive situations, I couldn't wait until I received the August mailing.

My goal of someday opening a full-service, destination wellness center has me considering many forms of generating capital for my venture so I'm open to most forms of manifestation. Needless to say I was ecstatic when Glynis' August email was all about prosperity!

I followed the instructions in her "August and the Number 8" newsletter to the letter. I did everything she suggested and even added a few of my own daily practices and was blessed with hitting the lottery in my state last night! I'm stoked!! Its not enough money to build that 500+ acre property I'm dreaming of but it is a nice piece of change to add to my "dream fund." Here's what I did, step-by-step, on the morning of August 8, 2008:

1. After I groomed myself and prepared for my day, I lit several white candles near my workspace and in the weatlh quadrant of my home (please burn responsibly--never leave a lit candle unattended and keep out of the reach of children and pets).

2. I found a really quiet corner and just sat with my thoughts and after a few minutes of deep breathing exercises, I concentrated on the white candles and started to repeat the affirmation "I believe in infinite abundance and my needs are always met." I repeated this affirmation so many times I lost count. The more I said the affirmation, the more I could feel in my gut that I really do believe this affirmation and any doubt I may have had just evaporated.

3. I got up and started writing the affirmation, over and over, on my easel pad. I noticed that the more I wrote the more intense my feelings became. Then, I wrote why I was seeking prosperity and made a list of what I would do with my newly found monetary gain.

4. Next, I started doing the "OM" morning meditation as suggested by Dr. Wayne Dyer while concentrating on what I wanted to manifest and started repeating my favorite money affirmation, "I am a money magnet and money falls like a gentle rain over me."

After the steps listed above, I said a quick prayer of gratitude and went on with my day. I could feel the positive energy in the air all day. I knew something special would happen but I had no idea what. Later in the evening I went to the supermarket to pick up dinner and couldn't ignore the voice in my head telling me to play the lottery. I'm not one of those die-hard lottery players who walks around with a 10 foot list of lottery numbers but I do play occasionally. Well, this morning I found out that I hit with one of the numbers I played!

Why am I telling you all of this? I'm sharing because I'm hoping you can benefit from Glynis and Dr. Dyer's instructions and meditation and attract prosperity to yourself. Go ahead and try it--what do you have to loose?

You can find Glynis' "August and the Number 8" info posted right here on our blog (dated 8/5/08) and subscribe to Glynis's email list here. You can find a free audio of Dr. Dyer's meditation here (near the bottom of the page).

Just remember that you really do have to suspend all doubt and trust that the universe will bless you with the spiritual, physical, emotional, financial and relational abundance you deserve. Come back here and post your experiences--maybe your experiences will inspire someone else!

P.S. I forgot to tell you that I did purchase a few more lottery tickets today for the evening drawing, lol, and I bought a scratch-off ticket--and won $5 instantly!

August and the Number 8

August is the 8th month. You may have heard me mention in the past that if you take the number 8 and trace it with a pen, you will find yourself going "round and round." This is the perfect metaphor for the confusion that you can experience under the energy of the 8. Resist this. If you are trying to complete something and you seem blocked at every turn, just stop and work on something else for awhile. You will be able to begin again next month without the feeling of being overwhelmed.

The Olympics are one of the big events this August, and the Chinese government chose the date 8-8-8 day to begin the Games. The Chinese believe that the number 8 promotes luck and prosperity, and in Numerology 8 is the money number; but the number 8 can also have hard lessons attached to it as well. The number 8 is also the political number. I'm sure you have read various things about the politics of this particular Olympics. I think we should keep our eyes wide open that particular day, and throughout the Olympics to see what happens politically. I also think politics in this 8 month will be played out at the Democratic Convention in Denver, and I do expect some drama there as well.

In your personal life, avoid confrontations with others. They can escalate and get out of your control. Back off, take a deep breath. The 8, as mentioned above, is the money and the financial number. I suggest you do this: on the date 8-8-8, light a white candle and focus on prosperity. Just affirm money into your life and write down why you seek prosperity and what you will do with it when it comes. Of course, it is always wise to do a money affirmation; this suggestion is to take advantage of that triple 8 vibration. Say: "I believe in infinite abundance, and my needs are always met." for at least 15 minutes on that day.

I know some people have picked that date as a day to get married. And if your Life Path number is a 2, 4, 6 or 8, that is considered a compatible day for you. My only caution is, if you are an 8 getting married on an 8 day, pay close attention to all the little details to keep the day running as smoothly as possible.

For all of you in this month of 8, be very specific as to what you want to accomplish. Make a list of what it is you want to achieve. Keep disputes at a minimum because communication can be a bit skewed in the month of 8 and some friends or family members may not understand where you are coming from. Keeping your sense of humor is key in this month of 8! :)

July and the Number 7

I'm really fascinated by astrology and numerology. For me, astrology and numerology have been so accurate that I find myself referring to one or both of these studies to understand the people in my life (and sometimes myself...lol). I recently received the following info from Glynis McCants, The Numbers Lady, and wanted to share. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~

The month of July breaks down to a 7, and 7 is all about spirituality. It is a time to ask yourself the big questions:" who am I? What am I? Why am I here? " It is a month to be with nature. If you can get near a large body of water, the ocean, river, or a lake, that would be great! All of nature's beauty, from plants to the mountains, play a significant healing role in the month of 7.

I find that if you spend time by yourself in a 7 month, the answers you have been seeking to the problems in your life will come to you intuitively. Prayer and meditation are encouraged.

Here is a breathing exercise that I would recommend: When you get into bed at night, and are lying on your back, breathe in and out of your nose, and just relax. Do this no less than 12 times. I have found this to have a calming effect.

Do not get into confrontations with people in the month of 7. It is easy to misinterpret others, and get upset over things that aren't really what they seem. If you are having trouble in a relationship, it is safer at this time to put your thoughts on paper; write a loving and conciliatory letter rather than talk to them, so you can be very clear as to what you are thinking and feeling.

So in this month of 7, enjoy nature's beauty and look for some spiritual breakthroughs by the end of the month. At the same time celebrate your life, and have fun!
