Touch Your Own Creativity -- Express It To The World
February 8, 2010
Within you dwell rich ideas, a fountain of creativity which is unending. The more you use it, the more of it there is. The symbol of The Harp in Star Journey represents this potent inner gift of being. It is your own desire to create. It seeks expression in the world. And when expressed, this exuberance of self, whether making high or low notes, touches others. Creativity ultimately fosters harmony, the sound of you and others creating a world together.
Give Shape to Your Dream
February 1, 2010
Now is the time to prepare. First comes the idea, then it must be given shape in order to develop. Like the symbol of The Sand in Star Journey, prepare yourself and make ready. Shape your castle in the sand, mold into form your great idea. Although sand may be shifting and subject to change, it is also forming by nature. Use this quality to give real shape to what you desire. The lasting form can then follow.

Overcome Distractions
January 15, 2010
At times, the very energy of clarity seems to get confused with the need for freedom and independence. The result can be distractions, even delusions, as perceptions multiply and challenge focus. In Star Journey, the symbol of The Fog describes this state, when outer conditions can appear fuzzy and disorienting. Don't be deluded. Know where this comes from, a bounty of ideas and free thought in and around you. Soon enough, your forward movement will overcome foggyness and clarity returns.
The Precious Key is Within You
January 11, 2010
Look within for your answer ... and to your connection to God and the universe. The deepest knowledge is self knowledge, knowing that all is a part of you, and you are a part of the all. The symbol of The Key in Star Journey marks this sign of realization of the self. It is through active participation in life and centering on the self as source, which puts you in touch with the truth. The journey ultimately leads to the key, the discovery they are all within you and never out of reach. Use this precious truth to open any door.
Express New Growth for a New Year
January 8, 2010
With the new year comes the opportunity to unfold new parts of your being. Let new growth begin, come out and be seen by others. In Star Journey, the symbol of The Leaf stands for this self-expression, showing a new vitality issuing from your core. Start a new phase or a new project, and share the energy of expansion with others. It helps stimulate them. You may feel a tenderness from the waking of new energy, even a sense of dependence on the old which fostered the new, yet allow this new growth to add more to your own being.
It's OK to Act Like a Kid
December 17, 2009
Go ahead and let some of that youthfulness come out. In Star Journey the symbol of The Child is about expressing parts of you that are indeed fresh, innocent and curious. You could look or act silly, it may be impulsive or not developed, but let that openess to new things be shown. Believe in life's magic, believe that all is possible, and let the bright beauty of the Child in you come forth. You will be most amazed where this spark will lead.
Touch the Majesty of Being
December 14, 2009
Within your being is both a great outflowing and inflowing of energy, give and take to put it simply. In Star Journey the symbol of the Star of Bowing stands for this profound sense of self, where we do indeed feel the majesty in our own being. Get in touch with that now. Know also all beings are like this, that we share this wondrous ability, breathing in and breathing out. In this is balance, transcendence. We are all alike in this regard, no matter how different we may appear on the oustide. Within you pulses the majesty of being. Feel it, and feel peace and joy.
Give from Within
December 10, 2009
In this holiday season, it is more than simpy tradition to be giving to others. Star Journey's symbol of The Token reminds us that giving is showing a real appreciation for someone else. It is from the self ... and yet selfless. A gift says You are important to Me; I show you by this token. Giving starts a flow from the self outward, so it not only acknowledges another but also expresses more about who you are. Give of yourself, from within.
Thunder Claps Humble Us
December 7, 2009
When storm clouds approach, the wind picks up, and we hear the clap of thunder. In Star Journey, the symbol of The Thunder indicates a time to be alert to forces of life and nature on the move. A storm or shake-up may occur, what stands now may be challenged. We feel our own vulnerabiility and are humbled. Listen carefully to what seems ominous, so that you can take heed and move with life.
Going With The Flow
December 3, 2009
There are times when making waves will only get you wet, or rocking the boat would land you in the water. There's a symbol in Star Journey called The Duck, and it reminds us that sometimes the best course of action is going with the flow, not against it. Sometimes just a little humor, or being one of the pack, conventional, will serve you best. Think of the duck happily waddling down the path, or a silly duck from cartoons. They are light-hearted and getting along with the world around them. The flow of life moves them forward.
