Autumnal Equinox, Mercury Retrograde, Halloween: Greetings!

In meditation class, we have been working on gratitude. With the economic problems in this country, the fear and hysteria in the news may make it more difficult to remember how really blessed you are. I have had a challenging year and yet more wonderful things have manifested for me than in a long time. In the arena of this newsletter, my feng shui book is published with a wonderful response. My new book on peace should be out by Christmas. My handmade book (poetry and film) is now ready for release. My new line of t-shirts is selling well and everyone loves them. I have been receiving spontaneous testimonials regarding my healing and feng shui work. My psychic predictions have been manifesting one after the other. The spiritual remedies continue to sell well and my client base is relatively unaffected by the downturn in the economy. I may need to pinch myself or touch wood, but things are good.

And the bad things are negligible. Especially since I’m not living in Iraq or Darfur or (insert your favorite war-torn region here). Count your blessings on both sides of the coin.

Autumn is the time for appreciation and gratitude. Next month will hold the harvest festivals and Thanksgiving. The end of this month will hold the celebration honoring the shadow self (Halloween) followed by the celebrations honoring the spirit world and the ancestor lineage (All Saints and All Souls Days). Take time during this harvest season to appreciate the depth and richness of your life.

The planet Mercury goes retrograde (reverses its progress in the sky) twice a year and sends terror into the hearts of many. We are in the midst of it now. Mercury pertains to business, travel, communication, technology, and masculine issues and its retrograde motion is said to negatively affect these areas. It is important to be grounded and balanced at this time. Double check appointments and be cautious when driving. Don’t beat on your computer if it is hesitant. Speak slowly and consciously to insure accurate communication. Understand clearly the obligations of any contract you sign. But every astrological phenomenon has both positive and negative aspects and this is no different. Old business clients can return or a business deal that was shelved can revive. You may schedule a wonderful trip home or return to a special place with fond memories. You may get more in touch with yourself through meditation or contemplation and liberate some blockage you have carried. An important man in your life may rectify a situation or make amends. There is much to be grateful for in every aspect of Mercury retrograde.

Be sure to count your blessings every day. Mine far exceed what is written here and include the people in my life. Thank you to everyone.

Spiritual Remedies

In appreciation of the great efficacy of the blessthebody.com Spiritual Remedies and their amazing effect on my life, I am honoring every order of five different remedies with the blessing of a randomly chosen sixth remedy until The Day of the Dead (All Souls Day).

The two remedies most important during this economic crisis and Mercury retrograde are blessthebody.com First Aid and Chakra Tonic. Use them liberally to relieve the stress of difficult times from your energy field and psyche.

Spiritually, blessthebody.com Green Light has been overwhelmingly important for all my clients at this time. How does it fit into the circumstances of your life?

Peace Shirts

My line of t-shirts (and numerous other clothing items and novelties) has gotten a wonderful response. If you need to be clothed, why not wear something that really makes a statement! Show your support of peace, love, and understanding in the world by wearing GREAT MINDS DREAM ALIKE, HOPE, ONE FOR ALL, or any of the other designs. Click on the shop image at the top of each shop to link to the next design. They are a good quality, make unique gifts, and ship quickly.

Books

Many of my books have gotten newly designed covers and slight corrections. Most have not been publicized here. If you do not have my book of spiritual poems, eating God, or my new feng shui book, Feng Shui Every Day, give yourself the delight and healing of these works. They also make great gifts. And while you peruse the catalog of my books, give attention to Child Harold at the Zoo and Soundtracks for Film. They each received a good response in their respective fields. Talk of film and theatrical events based on these has been broached.

My handmade book, body of water (poetry and film) is now available. Go to RoyAnthonyShabla.com for details and to order one of the limited edition.

Feng Shui

While those who take the annual feng shui workshop were fine with their treatments and cures last month, this month requires some adjustments for everyone.

There is an abundance of mental stress and relationship conflict this month. There are also challenges with money matters. To counteract these negativities, place for the month the following remedies: in the Southwest sector, add a jar of coins; in the East, add a rhinoceros or fu dog; in the Northeast, add three candles ~ burn for one to three hours per day; in the North, place a five-elements treatment (an example of each element ~ wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Because the planet Mercury is retrograde, it is important to take special care with these areas of your life even with the feng shui cures in place. As added protection, use blessthebody.com Chakra Tonic around your home.

Politics

I no longer hold an evening of channeling on the day of All Saints. It was, for the most part, unappreciated and unheeded ~ much more of a vaudeville to people than valuable advice. The last channeling evening was four years ago, before the last United States presidential election, and the information warned against the karma of voting from a place of fear. And look what we got. The karma of this passing presidency will last for many years to come.

My suggestion is to never, never, never do anything out of fear. Never give fear your power. Never be controlled by that mind.

If you are voting, vote from a place of love, a place of compassion, a place of peace. Yes, I realize I am talking about politicians and it may be difficult to find those qualities in a candidate. But open your heart to the possibility of this, once again, becoming a great country and the world, a shiny, new world (NOT a new world order!)… Vote for the highest ideals, the brightest light. Nobody who attains office ~ most especially the president of the United States ~ manages to do all the things he promises to do; vote for the person who’s promises are more enlightened. Lack of light is what got us into the mess we are now in.

blesstheworld.com and RoyAnthonyShabla.com wish you grace and peace and joy throughout this season and the coming holiday season. May your choices in life be an obvious blessing.
