The Individual Guide

Kalika is an emanation that’s akin to Kali, but Kalika is this beautiful young woman full of love and intimacy. She’s close and intimate, and she’s not jaded by the negative experiences that people can sometimes have in the world. In other words, this is the beauty of different images and how a single image, Mother Kali, who we can see as being so horrific, can also manifest in the form of Kalika, who is so warm and intimately inviting. They’re there at the same time. It has to do with our frame of reference, how we were viewing the quality of this manifestation. If we are viewing the quality of change from a perspective of not wanting change to happen, then change becomes horrific, and Shiva becomes the destroyer. If we are viewing change as being creative manifestation, then Mother Kali becomes Kalika, who’s inviting me into creative possibility, into creative change.

We’re going to add another wrinkle to change here, because we’re going to say, change is also the beautiful, seductive maiden, opening her arms to you.

Going back to what we were saying earlier, “A sense of me arises in the circle as the Deity.” I’m making it more personal. I’m bringing ‘me’ into manifestation with Divine Pride as Divine Change. I’m opening up to possibility here. I am dancing, as Shiva, I am dancing in the fire, in the transformational circular continuum of fire of transformation, and I’m dancing. Each dance movement is an expression of a core identity within me. The energy that has bound me with this core identity as I express it in the dance movement, that energy is popping off of my body and going into the transformational fire and being exhausted.

It’s more of tradition than astute trading strategy. Old-fashioned traders on the trading floors of Chicago Board of Trade and
Brazilian and Mexican commodity dealers, who still go by conventional wisdom, take positions in agri-commodities a week prior to a solar eclipse. The tradition to buy food grains is pegged on centuries-old belief that solar eclipses bring about natural calamities which will in turn increase demand for food.

Conventional Indian traders would also have taken a trading call, or kept their options open, ahead of Wednesday’s solar eclipse. An ET study of nine eclipses from 2007 reveals that Sensex has fallen on lunar eclipses and risen on solar eclipses. This is not the astrology like we know from weekly horoscopes

“Eclipses always have an effect on markets. That probably is one reason why even Wall Street traders keep an eye on eclipses and market movements,” said the US-based stock market astrologer Mahendra Sharma.

Take the case of lunar eclipse on March 3, 2007. The Sensex fell close to 6%, five days prior to eclipse and fell further 0.1%, post the cosmic event. Similarly, the market fell 3% five days prior to the lunar eclipse on August 16; the fall continued for another five days, shedding the market by another 3.5%. Deviating from the trend, the solar eclipse on February 7, 2008, resulted in the market losing over 6% in around 10 days. Mr Sharma is recommending investors to book profits before a sharp correction. “The call would be to wait until August 11,” he added.

This is the longest duration of the total Surya Grahan of the 21st century. “Stock markets are more likely to feel the indirect effects of solar eclipse. One of the major effects associated with solar eclipse is that heads of states will lose power,” said astrologer Bejan Daruwalla.

“The eclipse will have negative effects on the US as that country came into being on July 4, a month linked to cancer,” he added. According to him, chemicals and drug manufacturing companies could see some major changes in the months to come.

You’ve heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” I say… “You Are What You Think!”

The amount of time you spend reveling in wonderful moments of joy, contentment, inspiration, laughter, love and learning… will be directly proportional to your health, happiness, success, satisfaction, productivity and fulfillment!

Maintain a healthy outlook through the power of a positive thought!

1. Cleanse the Soul. For the same reason you wouldn’t go a week without a shower, you shouldn’t keep a week’s worth of mind clutter stored up in your grey matter. Do easy meditations daily in the shower to clear your mind, open yourself up to new opportunities and prepare for a simply fantastic day!

2. Brush Up. Do a daily affirmation twice each day in the morning and at night when you are brushing your teeth. Say it aloud through toothpaste suds or silently in your mind, “I am masterfully creating my ultimate life. Success and health (or sub in what you desire) comes naturally to me.” Send an email to julie@shesite.com for a free and life changing ‘Affirmation Workshop’ now.

3. Be Active. Don’t just stand around and let life happen to you. Every time you walk to the car, think about tiny actions you could take to move you closer to achieving what you truly desire. Keep a notebook to jot them down before you start up the engine. Watch each baby step start to exponentially propel your life forward.

4. Dress Up. Just as you might think ahead or lay out your wardrobe for an important meeting or date, prepare your mind for important events. Focus on how you want to feel and set your intentions and be very specific on what you’d like to accomplish.

5. Buckle Up For Safety. It’s the law. Expect that you will experience life mishaps, tragedy, injury and unfairness. You can safeguard against emotional distress by getting in touch with your true self. Choose how you want to feel, how you would like to handle difficult situations and think before you let fear, worry or panic creep in. It’s your choice.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

6. Preventative Prescription. A vitamin a day keeps the self doubt away. Honor yourself and recognize all that you are. When something has gone well, applaud yourself and enjoy it! Don’t dwell on what you could have done to improve it or what you would do differently next time. We all make mistakes. Learn and grow from them but remember to enjoy and relish in even your smallest achievements too!

7. Bless Your Meals. Just as you might say grace or spend an extra moment going around the Thanksgiving table to express what you are thankful for, find the good in your life and be thankful for it. Adopt an attitude of gratitude at dinner time.

8. Sleep Tight. Take your last waking moments before you drift off to sleep to focus on something that inspires you. Read inspiring literature, listen to soothing music or breathe in a delightful aroma. You will feel happier and wake up more content when you close your day with inspiring thoughts and feelings.

Use the daily rituals that you normally spend taking care of your body to also care for your mind. How important is your physical shell if you don’t have a sharp, positive, encouraging and affirming mind to perfectly blend with it? Fill your mind with hopeful, positive and uplifting thoughts and you will bring about more success, abundance, health and happiness.

Your days are numbered so fill them with more joy, smiles, fun and simple happy essentials that you can stream into your life. Take action and make your mind health a priority at www.shesite.com.

Unfortunately, most people fail to plan until it is too late. History tells us that for centuries humans have been witness to tragedies, and often times have been the victim of them. A cursory study points to one inescapable fact: a tragedy always produces another tragedy.

Consider: all the wars, past and present, carried on in the name of some “sacred” or “national” cause, has always brought about death, destruction and ruin to countries, their armies and their citizens - a tragic loss of lives but also a tragedy to the person(s) left to deal with the loss of a loved one while at the same time needing guidance as to what to do, beyond a Will, about personal effects and business matters.

Witness: the tragic deaths of people owing to disease and epidemics and the tragic effect such disasters have had on the survivor(s) - the person(s) who must bear the brunt of their own personal tragedy and loss, attempt to go beyond any Will, put things in order and go on with life.

Recall, if you will, the natural disasters - floods, fires, tornados, hurricanes, earth quakes, volcanic eruptions, almost always resulting in the tragic loss of lives - and for every life lost there is a person, or persons, who must face their own personal tragedy at a difficult time when they must also try to find guidance , in addition to a Will, and establish what should or must be done.

We have only to look at the recent horrendous catastrophe that happened in the Pacific where the tsunami devastated entire towns and villages; claimed in excess of 220,000 lives, wiped out entire families and left thousands homeless. Closer home, the lives of thousands of tourists, away from home and family to enjoy a warm and happy holiday, were suddenly snuffed out. All of them expected to return to their respective communities to resume their daily life. For each life destroyed by this tragedy there is a person, or persons, at home who must deal with the tragedy by shouldering the burden of being the executor of their estate by seeking help after the reading of the Will.

And then we have the hundreds of individuals whose lives are curtailed on a daily basis because of sudden heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, or other unanticipated events - a tragedy to each family but an even greater tragedy to the person who is likely to be totally unprepared for making the required decisions beyond those that may have been given in a Will.

Throughout this article emphasis has been placed on the person left to deal with the tragedy, regardless of its magnitude, because whatever the situation(s) described above, not one of the individuals could ever have anticipated the timing of his/her demise. But then one cannot help but wonder how many of those individuals had taken the time to not only execute a Will, but put pen to paper so as to guide the person who survives them as to how they would, or should, handle their affairs.

As brutal and callous as it may sound, quite likely less than 20% of the individuals who were victims of the tragic situations were considerate enough of their significant others to talk to them at some point about their wishes much less actually doing something about it. No one likes to think about death, much less their own - but it is something of which we must all be aware and, as best we can, prepare for. This means that in addition to a Will, we should give, or at least leave, detailed, written guidance for the person who survives us. Not doing so would indeed create and be a tragedy.

Julian Huffer, though not a lawyer, served many years as Executive Director of a major law association until his retirement. He has continued his interest in legal affairs and, based on his experiences at the association and personally, has been greatly concerned with the lack of attention individuals give to leaving their significant others all the information possible about their personal wishes, financial matters, key medical and legal contacts as well as the locations of important documents. To that end he developed a lengthy but concise non-legal, do-it-yourself document for use by the average person. It was created to be used as an adjunct to a properly drawn Will and to serve as a guide for those who must see to the “winding up” of affairs.
