ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Are You Expecting?
Are you ‘pregnant with possibilities’?
The Universe is filled with the potential of answering every dream you can dream for yourself. But what are you expecting?
The energies of attraction are not focused like a laser when they are generated from the emotion of fear. You can’t be worried and manifesting your dreams at the same time, for the laser that you send out like a beacon, attracting like energy into your field, is a laser tuned to that upon which you focus your worry energy, not the energy of your dream.
You do have the power to attract a nightmare but why would you?
When people start studying prosperity and the law of attraction they often do exercises to change their expectations. Recently our daughter started expecting the Universe to give her money. She found a dollar on a store parking lot and sat waiting for the person who had dropped it to return but no one did. She found several dollars in the dryer when she did the laundry. Magic? No. She EXPECTED the Universe to find a way to be generous with her and then she ALLOWED the Universe to choose how to do that.
I often teach that prosperity can come into your field in surprising ways when you are open to it. One way that the Universe gives me money is to have a sale on something that I have to buy. I was going to buy it anyway but I can save money that I would have spent. This just happened for the Color Class that I am teaching. We had selected the binder we wanted to give participants and had found one that came in lots of colors [this IS for a Color Class!]. We developed the prototype workbook with one binder then went back to purchase a larger quantity when we had the final numbers for the class. The binders were on sale and they had all the colors in stock!
This doesn’t represent a lot of money saved but it was going to have to be spent anyway. We expect the Universe to give to us in surprising ways.
What do you expect from your business? Your boss? Your significant other? Your children? Are you expecting challenges, threats, anger, disrespect? And are you getting that?
How adaptable are you to change? Are you willing to ‘go with the flow’?
Sometimes we get so stuck in our expectations that we forget to adapt to changing circumstances or energies. Have you ever thought about changing your expectations? Are you willing to change?
I knew someone who had a business and lost her business partner so was faced with only being able to pay half the rent. It was time to renegotiate the lease and she thought she might have to move. Instead, she focused on staying in the same space and paying half the rent. She focused and prayed and concentrated and expected this. She came out of the meeting with the landlord with a lease at half the rent for the next year! It CAN happen!
Are you, at this point, telling yourself that this only happens for other people, that it doesn’t work that way for you? As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.”
Trying being ‘pregnant with possibilities.’ Think that you CAN manifest your dreams. EXPECT the Universe to support you in that manifestation. Then go with the flow and allow the Universe to figure out the ‘how’ of making things happen.
Let this week be your ‘due date’ – expect great things!

Are You the Rose or the Thorn? – Richard’s Commentary
I write this on a nasty, stormy day here in the East – blame storm “Saturn” for it. In Annapolis we were fortunate enough to get nothing but rain and a little wind, nothing too damaging. Oh, there was an overturned semi-tractor-trailer on the Bay Bridge which shut down both spans in both directions. This is a major headache for traffic in this area and it ties up roadways for miles and hours. I’m sure a few thorns came out for people today!
I felt a bit prickly myself. It is a very busy week for me working to get class material finalized and assembled for Rosemary, helping to set up presentations and making sure I am ready to video record the whole class, working on my own practices including preparation for Qigong Instructor Certification this Saturday, and keeping up with the normal routine.
And with the storm shutting down schools and work for the anticipated snow the house was full of people today with many pulls on attention and energy. The energy, in fact, swirled at times beyond the normal boundaries and out of control. My Qi was disturbed.
I am working hard to keep my calm, to smooth out my Qi, to remain in flow and let go of all the little things that can too often ruffle my feathers. And yet my thorns came out! In some sense these thorns were for protection, not necessarily of my beautiful inner rose, but of my time, my priorities, my space, my practice, my, my, my…
But is this why the rose has thorns, to hide her flower. I don’t think so. The rose displays her beauty for all to see. Her light shines on everyone. She opens her softness to reveal that light and inner beauty. All she asks in return is a small amount of space. Her thorns protect that space. Yes, they are sharp but they only stick in a little bit, only as a warning not to come any closer.
Too often my thorns stab too deep. I only need a little space and too often create cold distance. I need time to breathe but don’t want to breathe alone. I struggle with balance here between protection and open sharing of my light.
The advice I hear is to “be the Rose that you are and shed the thorns.” I am working on this, working on the openness. Is it always safe to do this?
Wednesday evening Rosemary and I were part of a Spiritual Exploration Group. It is a group that comes together by invitation to share deeply. It is a safe place; and many of us share very deeply about personal experiences. Everything shared stays in the room. It is easy to shed my thorns in this group. I have no fear of my space there. Can I take this feeling of safety into the outer world and share my light? Can I shed all my defenses and open my lamp-shade to let out the light?
It is time. We have moved beyond 2012 and well into the 21st Century. It is time for all of us to come into our true selves, to shine our light and to be open to the flow of the Universe. It begins inside, where the light originates. We first let go of the thorns that prick us from the inside; some call them our “demons.” Egos have thorns that keep us in line! These are good for survival, just as the rose uses her thorns to protect her space for survival. But maybe we need to move beyond basic survival needs and into the light.
We cannot transform the world with thorns. We can work toward a better world through open acceptance of our light and to shine that light through fulfilling our purpose, what Rosemary calls our “soul commitment.”
Maybe that commitment needs to be stronger than our need for protection!
ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Are You the Rose or the Thorn?
Today’s Exploration is a Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine. Enjoy!
“Dear Ones,
Roses are among the most beautiful flowers on Planet Earth and, yet, roses have thorns on them. The thorns on the rose stem are not there as punishment but as protection for the beauty and fragrance of the flower.
You are like the rose flower – beautiful to see and enticing with attracting essence of you like the fragrance of attar of roses. The thorns on your stem are the protective barriers that you have erected to prevent anyone from getting too close to your essence. The outward beauty attracts but the inner is hidden and protected.
This very human way of being in the world has led many to forget about their own inner beauty. They have become so used to the thorns that they hold themselves aloof and separate from the essence of others and even from their own.
THIS is the main problem on Earth in the 21st Century – a forgetting, an amnesia of the essence of humanity.
Many see only the prickly thorns of others and focus on the façade that others have erected as protection. Most have even fooled themselves by their own protective stances into believing that they are what they project to the world.
Nothing could be further from the Truth.
You, Dear One, are as beautiful as the most beautiful rose. Your essence is as attractive as attar of roses, which has a very high vibratory frequency. No one can take away or diminish your essence, your inner vibration. However, YOU can choose to lower your vibration, to appear to the world as someone you are not.
For you, Dear One, are the Light of the World. You hold a high vibration of Light Essence in you that only you can choose to show to the world.
Are you willing to expose yourself to the world as you truly are at your core? Or will you choose to continue to hide behind the façade that you have created to fit the model of the world that you want to believe is real?
The light within you is REAL. The world around you is the collective agreement of all of the facades that people have erected to project an image of an imagined reality.
Break FREE of this projection!
Be the REAL YOU in the world!
Allow others to choose whether or not they will stay behind their façade, but choose to reveal the Inner Light of YOU.
Be the Rose that you are and shed the thorns. The time is NOW.
And So It Is.”
Rosemary adds:
Remember that you are the Light of the World. It’s time for each of us to step up to our Soul Commitment and be the person we were born to be. We all survived the big Shift of 2012 and we can no longer hide our light from each other. Have you done the work to connect with the Inner You? Are you confident that you are manifesting your Inner Light to the world?
What are you waiting for? We’re all waiting for YOU to SHINE!!!
And we love you for letting us share in your Light. As each of us shines we invite all others to do the same. Think how great a world we can create when we are all shining as brightly as we can. Wow!!!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: It’s a Sign!!!
Spring is busting out all over!
Ha! Ha! Fooled you! It’s still winter here and we experienced a wintery mix just yesterday.
BUT I did see some flowers popping up through the frozen ground this week. That gives me hope.
If you look for signs, you will find them. If you keep your eyes focused on the little bits of snow or the frozen, leafless trees or bushes, that is what you will see. What are you looking for?
In life we are given many opportunities to declare ourselves optimists or pessimists. The glass is half-full or half-empty. The fact is that the 8 ounce glass has 4 ounces in it, but the way we perceive that fact colors how we think about it, talk about it, feel about it.
How are you feeling about yourself, your life, your relationsips, your work right now? Could that feeling be based on how you talk about something, which is based on what you think about it and how you perceive something that can be reduced to a fact, like the glass holding 4 ounces of liquid?
What signs are you looking for, or are you waiting for something to happen (externally) to change how you feel (internally)? This, I think, is the crux of the ‘feeling stuck syndrome.’ We keep ourselves focused on that ‘something’ that we expect to change and then we wait for the external to shift so we can shift how we feel internally. This is bass-ackwards!
Shift inside FIRST and watch the external situation change! Reach inside yourself for the truth and act upon that, not your perceptions of the so-called reality you see outside yourself. Where does your hope come from? Are there signs that you are ignoring because you are looking for something to back up how you are feeling instead of shifting your interior state so that you can see the signs that help you to move forward with great hope?
This game of ‘inside-outside’ can trap us in every area of our lives. We dislike a person, often projecting unconsciously our own insecurities and faults onto them, then they react to that negative energy. We are so sure something isn’t going to work out that we talk about that expectation, reinforcing that thought, speaking it over and over again, and then we are so cocky when we say, ‘See! I told you it wouldn’t work out!’ Often we never even looked for a way to make it work out because we were so sure that it wouldn’t.
And that is what happens to us – we don’t even seek solutions or improvements because we’re so convinced that there are none.
Reach out beyond what you can see to the possibilities that are there. Keep your mind open to optimism. Maybe things aren’t as bleak as they seem. Maybe the glass really is half-full and not half-empty. Take charge of how you think, speak, feel about something and it just might change around you.
You have the ability to shift your thinking, speaking and feeling. Sure, there might be some circumstances that aren’t exactly the way you’d like them to be. You might have been given a medical diagnosis that you don’t like. You might be in a complicated relationship. You might have financial issues, or a job you don’t like. There are lots of things that could be happening around you.
BUT, and this is huge, you have the power to change how you interact with circumstances. You can get angry, at yourself or someone else. You can get depressed and close yourself off from others. You can choose to do something about your situation, such as see a counselor or coach, change your eating program, get another job, move on to a different relationship. And you can always choose to examine your own thoughts and feelings to decide if this is the level at which you wish to change.
Watch for signs that bring you hope. If you see something that reinforces a thought that seems pessimistic, take the time to look around for what an optimist would see. Play the game for yourself, by yourself.
After all, Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow on Groundhog Day so we’re sure to have an early Spring, whether you see the flowers yet or not! It’s a sign!!!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Where Are You Headed?
Are you headed in the direction of your dreams or do you feel as if you are spinning your wheels and staying in one place? Or are you marching forward but NOT in the direction of your dreams, hoping to change course eventually and get back on track?
One thing I know about the 21st Century is that Time is speeding up. The clock still ticks away 24 hours every day but they seem to be passing more quickly than those same 24 hours used to pass. There is a sense of urgency about doing our work in the World, living our Purpose. Do you feel it, too?
I think this is why so many people are feeling frustrated with jobs, with situations, with politics, with anything that seems to be stuck in old patterns that are not moving forward. We are all feeling a drive to manifest our dreams NOW.
This isn’t to advocate impatience but to urge you to examine yourself and your life and to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you on the path to the realization of your heart’s desires? Or are you waiting for something to happen to push you along? Sweet One, the ‘something’ has happened! It’s time to move!
Some people have pooh-poohed the Big Shift of 2012 because the world didn’t end on December 21, 2012. Others believe there was a shift of something but they aren’t sure what that ‘something’ is. Still others are waiting for something else to happen that might take several years to complete.
There’s a bit of truth in each of these beliefs, but here is what’s going on. The Shift wasn’t about a comet hitting Planet Earth and causing the demise of our physical world and it also wasn’t about some chosen group [everyone thinks that they are in the chosen group and all others are outsiders] didn’t get swept away into some kind of heaven or nirvana. The Big Shift was a shift in Consciousness, a part of the evolution of human awareness, and it really is a BIG Shift.
As each individual is given the choice of expanding or contracting, of participating in the evolution of Consciousness or ignoring it, then each individual also has a responsibility to move into living their own Life Purpose, the very reason that their Soul incarnated in this lifetime on this planet. No more excuses. No more delays. No more waiting. The Time is NOW.
Do you know your Purpose? Are you poised and ready to live it but unsure of the direction you must take?
Look into your heart. FEEL your heart’s desires. Learn the direction of your dreams.
Most of our lives are spent answering to others’ expectations of us. Most of us have not been taught to listen to our inner voice and determine our heart’s desires. How, then, do we do this?
The first step is to give yourself permission to live your dreams. You might think that this is easy but there seems to be a little voice that will pop up and undermine your determination to live your dreams. Have you ever heard it? ‘Who do you think you are to dream that big?’ ‘You’re not good enough, smart enough, beautiful enough, slim enough, strong enough, etc. to accomplish that.’ ‘Nobody in the family has ever _________ so what makes you think you can do it?’ And on and on.
Do the work to still this voice. You do have permission to live your dreams. Your heart’s desires are the messages from your Soul about the direction this lifetime is to take. Fulfilling your Life Purpose should feel like the realization of a nagging desire to move in a certain direction. Allow yourself to pursue it.
The second step is to identify your dreams. Figure it out. Energize the vision of you stepping into those dreams.
Next, create a plan. Notice what works to support you and what doesn’t and then adjust your life circumstances to allow the possibility of realizing the dreams you identify.
Take these steps and you’ll have the compass pointed in the right direction. Let your heart’s desire be True North for your compass and set your course. Then enjoy the ride!
