June–

A JOURNEY IN THE YEAR OF THE S OUL

no other month begins on the

same day of the week as June. This month and May are the only two months where this occurs. It happens regardless of it being a common year or a leap year. It is a time when we actually CAN stop to smell the roses– because they are actually blooming! When we step outside and take in the spectrum of life in full bloom around us it is a truly cherished time to revel in. Our gardens and flowers are planted, or soon will be and over the course of Summer we will watch as all of our efforts mature before our eyes ( or we get results we had not quite expected) . New green growth can take many unexpected turns, growing under and around obstacles and is very focused on getting the most out of the opportunity that optimal conditions provide . The month of June represents the end– or culmination- of the Year of the Soul that we introduced in one of our first newsletters that we began last year. We expounded upon the special energies of each of the seasonal changes as we moved through them; The Autumn Equinox, Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox and now the current Summer Solstice. We gave some details and related some traditional associations, including Angelic archetypes and their meanings. Our Reiki Healing Attunement Event is situated as close as possible to the date of the turn of seasons to specifically use these energies to boost the effectiveness of the Attunement and its individual results for our participants. In general, the four day period leading to and including the end of one season and the beginning of the next is an intersection of two energies.

Each season marks a time when a particular manifestation of spiritual force in the Universe becomes dominant and influences every atom of life on our planet for humans, animals plants. It plays itself out most visibly in the Natural world– Nature– as a continual reminder to us of what is possible. The more we have become aware– via our journey this year-and celebrate these seasonal cycles the more we may be able to accelerate our growth and enhance our lives. We don’t stop after just one year—the Year of the Soul repeats for us in ever upward spirals as we continually take in new aspects of each seasonal change and assimilate them, becoming something new each time.

June 21st will be the date of the Summer Solstice.

BLACK FOREST HAM, PROVOLONE & ROASTED RED PEPPER PANINI

OUR June SPECIALS:

Borrowed from: The Village voice

Acupressure Facial Treatment

( musings of a Ho-Hum Housewife)

~ Perfect solution for leftover ham. Panini refers to a pressed sandwich so if you don't own a panini grill, simply grill in a skillet with a weight on top (2 iron skillets work well)

( known as Jin shin Do) This 1 hour treatment uses acupressure points on the face, neck and head to release physical blockages, and at the same time balance and align the major meridians that run throughout the body as well as the head, neck and face. You get a “whole body balancing” with this treatment. $ 10.00 off

_____________ 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise 4 tsp. basil pesto 8 slices good rye or sourdough bread 8 oz. thinly sliced Black Forest, deli or leftover ham 6-8 oz. thinly sliced provolone cheese

Preheat grill pan or large skillet coated with cooking spray. Add sandwiches to pan and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted. (4 servings)

THE OIL OF FIRST AID (Melaleuca alternifolia ) This is one of the MOST useful oils .You will want to have it in your first aid kit or simply to keep with you. Historically, the oil was and is a highly valued product in Australia. During WWII it was issued to each soldier and sailor as part of their kit in order to treat tropical infections and infected wounds.

Energies of Summer Solstice and Reiki Healing Attunement Event The Summer Solstice is the high point of the year. Magnetically, the physical, etheric, mental and spiritual planes are drawn into alignment on the three days prior and the day of the Summer Solstice. This allows us the opportunity to accomplish much. During this time we can manifest opportunities to create harmony and unity in areas of our lives. We can manifest opportunities for confidence, strength and hope, and there is a general expansion of our faculties and intuitive energies (That calm expansiveness we feel during the summer months, so that we want to do more). The angelic archetype of this season is the archangel Auriel, known as the angel of beauty and vision, with eyes that see clearly across eternity This angel is also associated with a flaming sword– that of clear ( seeing) discrimination. Traditional colors assigned are that of black and yellow . Our Reiki healing Attunement Event will be Sunday June 21st, from 11 to 5 pm. Helen and Melissa , both Reiki master-Teachers in the Usui Tibetan tradition will be facilitating this event. Each 20 minute session is $20.00. By appointment only. Please call 630-863-4712 to reserve your place.

About our flower accent for this months newsletter. The flower or other item that decorates the header of our newsletter does usually have a significance for that months information. It is chosen immediately after the completion of our old newsletter to “set the tone” for the thoughts that will go into the next months’ newsletter. For June, the iris was selected . Referencing our culminating Summer Solstice Healing Attunement Event this year, it was the appropriate emblem. The Irises are a group of flowers that span the entire rainbow of color, and the entire flowering season from November through July– following the usual course of the Year of the Soul . As a quiet messenger, it draws us towards higher inspiration and psychic purity; it is especially helpful for those who wish to align more with the rhythms of Nature.
