An Update from Rosemary
It is the end of Summer and we are getting ready for Fall. I love it when the weather starts to cool down – still waiting here in Maryland but I trust it is coming!
The Sun has moved into the sign of Virgo so we are focusing away from the materialistic and toward the beauty and elegance of Life. It is a time to bring heart and soul together in your life and to rise above material concerns.
Hold onto your hats because Mercury is going Retrograde on Tuesday, August 30th at 9:03 am Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)! For the next three weeks Mercury will be making us re-view, re-plan, re-evaluate. Drivers may be distracted. Communications may be confused. Take your time – there’s nothing to worry about if you re-read everything before you sign or hit ‘Send.’ Although some people panic about the Mercury Retrograde periods, others find them extremely creative because they go inside and find the new ideas that they are usually too busy to discover. Make this time a good Mercury Retrograde period for yourself!
This week we have a Solar Eclipse on September 1 at 5:03 am EDT. The Eclipse won’t be visible in the US but the effects will be felt worldwide. Notice what was important to you 19 years ago, on September 1, 1997, when there was another eclipse close to the place that this one is occurring. What do you need to change or evaluate in your life now?
With this Eclipse, when the Moon temporarily blocks some of the Sun’s light from reaching Earth, we get some Saturn and Neptune influence to bring up compassion and unity consciousness for us to tap into. According to The Mountain Astrologer magazine, “…in order to manifest our dreams, we have to be willing to release all remnants of guilt and blame, denial and dogmatism, martyrdom and victimhood.” Are you ready? This is important clearing work so that you can move forward into living your richest life.
To support you in the coming months and all the endings plus beginnings, I have created several opportunities for you to do some of this important work with me.
On Tuesday, August 30, at 7:00 pm EDT I will be teaching with The Divine Feminine and the topic is ‘How Do You Live Your Purpose with the Challenges of Today?’ You will want to join us to not only hear the main message but to ask your individual questions! There are two ways to join us live on Tuesday – in person in Severna Park, Maryland or by phone. And don’t worry if you can’t be live with us – the teaching will be recorded and anyone who registers will receive the recording. You can also email questions to me (rosemarybredeson@gmail.com) and get the answers on the recording. Here is the link to save your spot: Register Here
I am also offering a workshop on Saturday, September 17, 10:00-1:00 –Meta*Physical Steps to Physical Success in the Annapolis area. Learn three keys to Live Your Richest Life™ and start applying them right away. You will come away with tools that will help you create your Vision and to make it a reality. Stay tuned for the details!
Save the date: November 5 – Abundance, Prosperity and Finances…it’s not justabout the money! An all-day workshop to explore the real ‘Secret’ to getting what you want in life! We’ll talk about the ways to manifest what you desire and to manage what you manifest. Details coming soon. 10:00 – 4:00 on Saturday, November 5 in the Annapolis area.
And I am available for private mentoring or a one-time session to help you to get the guidance you need at the moment. Email me at rosemarybredeson@gmail.com for more information about working with me.
Have a great week!
Many blessings and much love!
A poem: Flow
My goddess, Rosemary, channels the goddesses; they call themselves The Divine Feminine. This past Monday evening, July 25, Rosemary channeled an incredible message from The Divine Feminine. It inspired today’s poem.
The subject of the channeling event is “What in the World is Going On?” We are in the midst of tremendous change, of transformation, of an evolutionary time which is birthing the “New Human.” Yes, it is a time of struggle; world events seem chaotic and frightening. But The Divine Feminine offer both a clear message of empowering wisdom and a way for us to be in our purpose to aid in the process of this evolution. It is an important message for out time!
You may learn more about this and purchase the recording on Rosemary’s website: Recording
And here is the poem the message inspired:
Flow
I move with the flow
And accept what is mine—
Mine to do
Mine to learn
Mine to love
Mine to live
Mine to be.
And it is all vibration
It is all light and shadow
Reflection and illusion
As we all, with all of reality
Wink and blink
Here and gone.
The glinting river flows to the sea
Its brilliant waters reveal
The emptiness
Vast and heaving
Seeing all
Reflecting all
Taking nothing
But more water
The home of souls.

Rosemary’s Exploration
This exploration is all about choice. We can choose our experiences in every moment. This is the way to live a Conscious Life.
You can choose to listen to the guidance from The Divinine Feminine tonight; go here for details and registration:
Who Has a Fun MRI?
I recently had my first MRI done. Everything I had heard about Magnetic Resonance Imaging was a bit daunting. The noise is horrible. You’ll feel claustrophobic. I couldn’t go through with it! You have to lie still for so long.
It was enough to make me wonder if I really wanted to go through with this test.
But I don’t let other people’s experiences define my experience. I decided that I was going to have fun with this procedure.
I went in with a cheerful attitude and a positive frame of mind. I decided that I would meditate during the test so I asked for quiet instrumental music as I put on the headphones. As I was moved into the big machine, the noises started.
I thought about sound and sound frequencies as vibrations and tuned in to the vibrations I was experiencing as the machine whirred around me. I decided to ask the vibrations to clear out anything in me that wasn’t vibrating for my highest good. When the sound shifted to a new frequency, I asked that frequency to also clear out whatever I didn’t need.
I started to feel that there were healing angels with me and that they were working on me as I lay there. Each time the frequency changed I felt a new experience of power and healing and light. I saw different colors and felt myself being lifted.
I felt happy. I had a big smile on my face. I was tripping out!
And then it was over. I was moved out of the machine and the technician removed my headphones. I thanked him and said I had had a great time. He said that not every patient felt that way.
What made the difference? The machine was the same. The test was the same. (I am fine, by the way.) The noise levels were the same. The duration was the same. Why was my experience so different from others’?
I decided to have a different experience.
This is an opportunity that we have in every moment – to decide what kind of experience we are going to have. It is our choice how to respond to the situation in which we find ourselves. We may not be able to change the circumstances but we can decide how we will operate within those circumstances.
An Event happens. We have a knee-jerk Reaction. We hit the Pause Button. And then we choose our Conscious Response.
Event -> Reaction -> Pause -> Conscious Response
Next time you find yourself in a situation, any situation, remember this formula and DECIDE how you will respond. I had a great time getting an MRI. And if I ever have to have another one, I know that it, too, will be fun because I’ve already decided that it will be.

And a channeling event with The Divine Feminine, Monday, July 25 at 7:00 pm EDT: What in the World is Going On? –LINK
“Emotions are not decisions. They are the result of decisions. Feel your emotions and ask what decisions have led me to feel this way. When you make new decisions you can feel new emotions. Choose decisions that allow you to feel happy and satisfied. These choices are based on LOVE.”
Happy Summer! I hope you are enjoying this season of warm weather and holiday parades and fun activities.
Warm weather is HOT weather here in Maryland! I give thanks every day for air conditioning. I’ll emerge in the Autumn.
The Full Moon in Capricorn (the Sun is in Cancer) was exact at 6:56 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Tuesday, July 19. This one was powerful!
Have you been feeling as if everything is being shaken up? Are you questioning where you are headed and with whom? Are you looking to get your message out to the world in a bigger way?
And are world events causing you to feel upset, unsettled, even fearful? Yes, we are being invited to FEEL our emotions and to examine the structures around us. This is a time to evaluate and maybe throw away what doesn’t serve us, as individuals and as a culture.
Here in the U.S. we are in the midst of an extremely divisive political election cycle. Nothing seems to be going according to plan.
And with many of my clients this is happening on a personal level. Money, health, relationship, career issues – everything seems to be coming up in chaos.
Take heart, Dear Ones! All is not lost. You are being asked to do some self-exploration and make decisions about who you are and how you will be operating in the world. You will come out of this chaotic period with a new understanding of what peace and balance inside you means.
The work of this Full Moon is to RELEASE. Those old structures. Limiting beliefs that belong to the old you. Thoughts of what you can’t do based on past experience. Decide to get rid of old energies so that you are ready for something new to arrive with the New Moon on August 2 at 4:44 pm EDT. This also happens to be Richard’s and my birthday so August 2 will be a very special New Moon at our house!
So many people are upset by what’s happening in the world that I have been guided to help provide some tools to make it through this time of chaos.
On Monday, July 25 at 7:00 pm EDT join me for a channeling event where I will teach with The Divine Feminine what is going on and what we can do about things. These messages that are coming through these days are powerful guidance to help us navigate the 21st Century and its problems. The last message from The Divine Feminine was some great guidance on Abundance, Prosperity and Finances. The recording is available on my website.
Monday’s message will be timely and will help us to gain an empowering perspective. You can join us in person or from anywhere in the world. Get more info and register here: LINK
As a special bonus, on Sunday, July 24 at 7:00 pm EDT I will be offering a FREE Webinar! Getting Grounded in Ungrounded Times. During this hour together we will explore how you can use some simple tools to help you handle what you are feeling about world events and shake-ups happening in your own life. This is an opportunity for you to receive some information that will be immediately useful and the webinar will be content-rich. Come spend an hour with me and feel better about handling situations. You can register here: LINK
Let’s stay connected so I can help you to get through these tough times. You are precious. You are LIGHT. Shine your Light into the World so that you can make the place a little bit brighter.
A Time to Grieve
You know there are no coincidences. Everything is in flow, in divine order. The other day I wrote briefly about reading “The Smell of Rain on Dust”, the latest book by my most esteemed teacher, Martín Prechtel. This lovely little book is all about “Grief and Praise” – its subtitle. As I said the other day I’ll write a complete review of it when I have finished savoring every word. But in the meantime I am struck that I have chosen the perfect time to be reading it. It is time to remember how to grieve!
It is with humility and the deepest respect that I offer this riff on Martín’s work. These are his thoughts that I heard from his lips as I sat learning at his feet and I read in his marvelous book. And I offer it to you as a way to cope with a world that seems off the rails. It is only love that can right the wreckage.
A Time to Grieve
We seem to drift, as a nation,
Ever more deeply into violence and divide;
More killings; cops killing “innocents” –
“Innocents” killing cops.
There is an emerging frenzy to this senseless,
Escalating violence. It is so much, so intense.
It is maddening.
And it is not clear where it will end; or when or how.
Martín knows how.
He has spoken and written about it over and over.
We as a nation – as a so called culture –
Have lost the ability to grieve.
In fact this ability has been taught out of us!
Go shopping instead!
This is always the remedy. Consume more.
Eat up the world to mask the grief.
Hide our losses and sorrow
And desperate need of relief through grief
In our purchases.
Salve the wounds over with stuff.
Feel better with that latest broach –
Pin it on over your heart as a shield to hide behind.
Pin together the tatters in your broken heart.
Pretend it is whole; mend the tears
And choke back the tears.
For Heaven’s sake don’t embarrass yourself
With any display that would reveal your vulnerable soul.
That will not do!
There is no comfort there; only in more stuff.
How else do we keep the wheels on this economy
That promises protection, plenty, prosperity for all
And that pursuit, so elusive, of a happy life?
Grief is equally elusive as happiness!
We are not allowed to grieve.
Three days off for our dearest family members.
Take your own time for friends. Then back to work;
Produce so you can consume more.
No, we are not eating the world! There is always more.
Oh, and there will always be poor. Jesus said so;
And he was right about everything.
And they killed him too!
Never mind the poor; they are not worth dying for.
They are not worthy of our life style.
It will end in one of two ways:
We may kill one another as the violence escalates
To a new world war – a Global War on Terror
Brought to you by terror. Fight terror with terror –
It is the American Way. Our violence begets more violence.
It matters not how it began – it only has a violent end.
Or, we may remember how to grieve.
We can go to the sea and cry a river to fill it.
Weep for the deaths.
Weep for the brutality.
Weep for a society gone so wrong.
Weep for the wars.
Weep for the enemies “following orders.”
Weep for the loved ones whose bones we stand upon.
Weep for us, victims and perpetrators alike.
We are all in this together;
And we will never get out alive!
And when we have wept that river
Flowing to the sea, it might then be time to
Remember something else:
Remember the love that brought us into existence.
Remember the beauty of the world.
Remember the generosity of the Universe
Offering enough and more!
Remember to offer in return our praise and gratitude.
There is a cycle to the loss and gain,
The constant flow of less and more.
Know wherever we are in this cycle
It will continue.
There must always be time for grieving
Because there will always be loss.
Life is loss.
There must always be time for praising
Because there is always gain.
Life is love.
Live life to the fullest in grief and praise!

Love is Health
I am reading Martín Prechtel’s most recent book, “The Smell of Rain on Dust.”
Martín is one of my most revered teachers. When the world is fortunate enough to receive another of his gifts of writing, I immediately acquire the book, and then I savor it, sometime putting off reading for a time knowing I have it, but delaying the incredible gratification I get when I read his lovely words.
I studied with Martín for a few years almost a decade ago now; I sat with him in his Bolad’s Kitchen, cooking in the soup of his stories, his character and his wisdom. Now whenever I get to read one of his books, new or old, I can hear his voice, the cadence and timber, the melody, the harmonies as he speaks with reverence for life, nature, the indigenous soul of humanity.
I am in the middle of this current book, published in 2015 but current to me. When I am finished I’ll post a complete review here. But for now I want to quote the end of Chapter 6: “Paddles of Tears, Canoes Made Out of Old Songs”. This short quote summarizes in a tidy nugget where I am right now in life and what continues to carry me forward into my 8th decade:
The eloquence of our own affection for one another keeps the world healthy. Praise and the depth of our grief expressed for one another keeps the world in love. Love is health.
Words from The Way
Yes, I’m coming “alive” again! Welcome to this magical time of maximum Yang, Summer Solstice; and Full Moon on the same day, yesterday. We are still in this powerful energy so be sure to make good use of it.
I have been absent from this blog for a bit; maybe hiding out from myself and getting familiar with this new and transforming energy 2016 has brought to us. Do you feel it? It is palpable. And we are experiencing it as at no other time; just take a peek at current affairs and this wacky presidential election time.
So, with all of this in mind I read a passage from my latest “medical Qigong” book I was “given” for Fathers’ Day (I ordered it with Rosemary’s blessing!). Here’s the passage:
If chaos is eternal, the order introduced into chaos of the universe has an end, as it has a beginning. This is because slowly names given cease to fit; political systems invented in simpler times cease to function; old irrigation ditches get choked with new vegetation; the waters of chaos begin to mount.
–from J. Lagerwey, Taoist Ritual in Chinese Society and History (1987) as quoted by Lonny S. Jarrett in Nourishing Destiny, The Inner Tradition of Chinese Medicine (1998)
Maybe you get the idea of why I became motivated to post this today. With maximum Yang energy pouring down on us from Heaven, both from Sun and Moon, the “waters of chaos” seem to be mounting. I don’t have to innumerate all the crazy events we are in the midst of or name them – “names given cease to fit”! But I do want to consider this quote from the perspective of growing up in the ’60s, another time of chaos, anguish, but also hope and dreams.
We were ready for change in the 60s. Some of us worked hard to bring it on. And I believe we did to a degree. And then the “waters of chaos” seemed to subside.
Now the waters are rising again. There is a new movement for change in these ‘teens’ – the “ditches” began to fill in 2012. And now it almost feels like “political systems invented in simpler times” are beginning to come apart, “cease to function.” How will the “revolution” end this time?
I don’t pretend to have answers. I only hope to pass along some wisdom from ancient China. Can we find some answers in the lessons once learned long ago and far away?
Or, “when will we ever learn?”
