Sunshine has been a healing treatment dating back to ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, in addition to other countries and cultures. For instance, in Greece and Rome, physicians would send patients to a “soleria” for exposure to healing sun rays. Hippocrates, the Grecian “Father of Medicine” prescribed “heliotherapy” (healing with sunshine) in his writings and for his patients. And in the 1800s, doctors treated tuberculosis with sun exposure, because of the sun’s ability to kill bacteria associated with this disease and its related infections.

Many ancient civilizations literally worshipped the Sun. Those in Aztec, Mayn, Egyptian, Celtic, Persian, Greek, Roman and other cultrures prayed to sun gods for help and healings. Solar ceramonies praised the sun for its life-giving force. The early Christian (especially Catholic) churches called this pagan worship a sin and began strongly discouraging its practice. Yet the references to sun worship are still evident, especially on Sunday of each week.

The love part of the healing equation comes from prayer and calling upon Heaven’s help. Angels, as pure, egoless beings, brings both light and love into any situation. When Angelic invocation and intervention is combined with additional sources of light, it opens the door to profound healings.

An Italian adage says: Dove il sole non entra il dottore, which means, “When the sun doesn’t enter, the doctor does. “

Statistically , more people die of diseases associated with sunlight deprivation than do people with skin cancer. As with everything, moderation is important when it comes to sun exposure – - it certainly isn’t wise to get sunburned, yet it’s also unwise to avoid the sun completely.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects millions. During Winter months, people with SAD experience depression, become lethargic, sleep excessively, crave carbohydrates, gain weight, lose interest in doing things with other people, often feel guilty and feel a lack of excitement about life in general. Symptoms improve when SAD suffers are exposed to full-sprectrum lighting.

Sunlight increases mental and physical performance. Sunlight has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase the bloody supply to organs and muscles, increase oxygen supply in body tissue and increase glyogen (stored energy) in the muscles and liver.

Sunlight has general Wellness Benefits. In addition to increasing our Vitamin D supply, sunlight has an insulin-like effect that is beneficial for diabectics. Exercising outside in the sun lowers the lactic-acid count, which can reduce muscular pain from a workout. Sunshine exposure also lowers serum cholesterol and seems to increase our tolerance of stress because it lowers our resting heart, blood pressure and resspiratory rates.

Biologically we’re meant to be exposed to sunlight for health and happiness. Our hemoglobin pigments (red blood cells) are virtually identical to the chlorophyll in plants. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy and food for the plant’s growth and health. In a similar way, our body benefits from sunlight exposure.

SO, enjoying a moderate  amount of sunshine in the morning or late afternoon (when UV levels aren’t as strong), appears to be important for our health.

Exposing ourselves to sunrises and sunsets connects us to the natural earth rhythms, which helps us have better timing and puts us in the synchronistic flow of life. Ideally, we should witness the sunrises and sunsets outdoors without sunglasses so our bodies can absorb the light fully. However, even watching the sun rise and set through a window is better than not seeing it all.

We are Spirits upon a Beautiful Planet that has physically based light sources ~~ the Sun, Moon and the Stars. They support and heal us. Light is a tool available to everyone, FREE of Charge. When coupled with LOVE the possibilities are endless ….

So find a quiet place, where you won’t be disturbed and light a candle (preferrably pink) in front of you. You may like to hold a piece of pretty Rose Quartz in your hand, to connect to its ‘love’ properties, as well as with the earth. As you watch the flickering flame, breathe deeply in and out 3 times. Close your eyes and feel, or see in your mind, a beautiful pink bubble surrounding you. Feel the warmth, feel the love as your heart expands with this love energy and relax …… and then say:

Dear Faeries of Love, this is my wish; To be wrapped in the arms of the one who is. All that I dream, mine own true love. Reveal who that is, I ask of you. May we share romance, passion and laughter and together at last, happily there after.

The pink bubble bursts and you are showered with hundreds of delicate, heavenly scented rose petals. They softly fall over you and all around you as three exquisite flower faeries, of the rose variety, appear within the swirl of red and pink. These are the Romance Faeries that you have called upon. Now take your time to tell these Faeries your dreams and desires for love and romance.

From a Rose red petal a Faery scoops up a morning dew drop which grows into a glowing ball of shimmering light. She hands you the dazzling orb and, as you gaze into it, an image of your ‘true love’ appears. You then see yourself in the picture and watch as the scene plays out all that you have dreamt of. Now wrap this vision in love as you hold the ball to your chest. As you do, this orb of glowing red melts into your heart. Feel the magik take place as you breathe in the very essence of your ‘true love’ and experience the harmonious blending of energies. Their work done, the Romance Faeries weave around you in a whirlwind of petals and faery dust and assure you, before they disppear, of your own and very real faery-tale ending!

MARS has now moved into AQUARIUS for just over a month.

I always love this time of year, because our humanitarian instincts are revved, and our community spirit is high – something which many parts of the world, currently under water, needs right now.

On an individual basis, Mars in Aquarius prods, pokes and pushes us to be US and me to be ME – the Individual, the Eccentric, the Unique – because we’re all One Of A Kind.

I Accept my Uniqueness. There is no competition and no comparison, for we are all different and meant to be that way. I am Special and Wonderful. I Love Myself xx

I rejoice in my sexuality and in my own body. My body is perfect for me in this lifetime. I embrace my myself with Love and Compassion

The negativity and difficulties that have weighed upon my mind have lessened and will continue to lessen each day that goes by.

My pain and fear are gone.

I am strong in mind, body, heart, and soul.  I  have the strength and endurance to make it through this troublesome time in my life. I release all negative thoughts and sever all negative ties I may have with others, all bonds that prevent me from evolving, healing, and growing in a positive manner.

As I heal, I will become more and more loving and patient with myself.

The love I feel comes from inside of me and will increase to encompass others with its purity of light and intention.

As I love, I will be loved.

As I give, I will receive.

I see myself totally healthy and happy.  I picture myself enjoying the things I love, the activities that keep me happy, and spending time with people I love.  My heart is on the mend…love is flowing freely through me.

Though the date Friday 13 is generally perceived as unlucky, (not to me I was born on Friday 13 …..) this alignment of two planets brings passion, love and maybe even a little extra $$

• The Moon is 3.5 days old and is in waxing crescent lunation cycle
• Both Moon and Venus are in Virgo constellation; they had company in the form of Mars and Saturn which are also located in the same constellation
• Venus had a conjunction previously with Saturn on 8 August and proposes to meet with Mars on 19 August. Hence, the present getting together of Moon and Venus comes almost in the middle of the two episodes
• Both Venus and Moon are below the pathway of the Sun called as ecliptical path
• During August Venus is very bright and is seen as an evening planet
• Just north of Venus is the brilliant star Zaniah
• The name of the star Zaniah in Arabic means an angle, which can be interpreted as a turning for better
• Positioned on the left arm of the Virgin, the star Zaniah symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures, Chinese treated the star as a maintainer of Law
• Both Venus and the Moon are positioned on the left wing that hovers over the left arm of the Virgin

Enjoy the Magik of Friday 13 and embrace the Passion of Mother Moon and Venus xxx
