Low Calorie Laughter  
Not only do I love parts therapy, I love just being present wiht a client, following my intuition and allowing the process to unfold. This particfular session was light hearted, fun and will make a major change in the client's life. Read the summary of this case and you will see what I mean.

"Audrey" has been in for several sessions for weight control. During a recent follow up session she mentioned that she'd been overeating. She talked about a part of her that would say, "I want to be bad." She'd been hearing from this part a lot so it was time to explore its purpose.

Follwing the induction and deepening I asked Audrey to invite the part in that "wants to be bad." She reported seeing a purple shape so we thanked it for coming and began exploring its purpose.

"Bad" said that she wanted to cause trouble and felt that Audrey benefitted because she was getting attention. Bad was unhappy because she didn't get to have any fun. She told me that Audrey was "flat and boring." She wanted Audrey to laugh, be light and see the humor in life.

The discussion bewteen Audrey and Bad wasn't unfolding as well as I would have liked so I invited in the Higher Self. She suggested that Audrey pay more attention to her spiritual life. She wanted her to meditate more, be with herself more and not "check out."

At some point in this process (I couldn't say exactly when as I was a bit tranced out myself) Audrey started laughing. I encouraged her to let that laughter fill her up -- let it flow into every cell, even the space between cells. When asked how she felt after she had laughed for awhile she said, in a rather surprised tone, "I feel full."

According to Audrey, the laughter was pink so I asked her to imagine a ball of pink and roll it out through her past, lightening up every past experience. She then rolled up a second ball of pink and sent it into her future so that laughter and lightness would be waiting for her everywhere she went.

I also mentioned that she might now notice that she had "giggle bones" and would easily see the humor in life. She giggled her way out of hypnosis and left feeling wonderfully light.

There are so many ways to fill ourselves up besides food, aren't there?

We begin this Newsletter with the Sun entering Taurus on Saturday April 19th. The Sun in Taurus is all about self worth, grounding ourselves while the earth can feel like it is spinning out of control.  Take time to stop and smell the roses.  Allow your senses to look at the rose, feel how soft the petals are. Take a moment to marvel about such a creation as the rose and allow it to amaze you.  Notice that the rose --for all its beauty-- has thorns to serve as a warning that it, too, has boundaries. With the rush of energy that comes with spring it can remind us that all things may not be created equal but can be appreciated for what we are or what "it" is. 

 

The next two Full Moons, Sunday Aril 20th and Monday May 20th are in the sign of Scorpio. The Scorpio energy can feel very passionate --even obsessive-- if not kept in check.  Issues of finances and support from others should be at the forefront of our feelings, since the Moon is all about feelings. Exploring our avenues are important at this time. 

When you put a little romance to the mix it could become an intense time (if not fun).  Keeping up with the pace can be a challenge if we ignore our feelings of needing a rest here and there. Additionally the second full moon in Scorpio in May will be spurring on changes for the better, of course. All changes are good, even if we hesitate to jump right in. And don't worry if you resist the new, it will be back a little stronger the next time giving you another opportunity. After all, the only thing that is absolute in this Universe is change.

Contact Martha for a personal astrology reading today: 530-787-3781. By appointment only.
