I’ve often heard the adage, “what you resist persists”, and perhaps you have, too. Ironically, sometimes I find myself resisting this message, because I’ve heard it so many times that it’s become a cliche to me. Obviously, I’m demonstrating how this saying is persisting in my life because of my resistance to it!

However, when I let go of my reaction to hearing this message, yet again, and listen to what it’s trying to tell me, there’s usually something valuable there. It often leads me to a more conscious awareness of the mental and emotional patterns of resistance that are affecting my business and other parts of my life at that moment.

Like any act of creation, creating a business is not merely a physical, external act. It’s also, largely, an internal process that engages the deepest levels of your psyche. This is why the sixth step of inspired business planning is so important: clearing inner resistance that comes up as you make and implement your plan to build your wellness business.

Resistance and Your Business

“Whatever we believe becomes true for us. Perhaps you’re not even aware of your belief. Most people aren’t. They just see the outer circumstances as the way the cookie crumbles. Until someone can show you the connection between the outer experiences and the inner thoughts, you remain a victim in life.”

– Louise Hay

If you look in the dictionary, you’ll find numerous definitions for “resistance.” More interesting are the synonyms you’ll find in a thesaurus that truly capture the essence of the word: “fight, struggle, combat, defiance, obstruction, impediment, hindrance.”

From a psychological and emotional perspective, resistance is a belief, thought and accompanying feeling that obstructs your natural state of well-being. This type of resistance can be subtle, but can wreak havoc on your business.

For example, you can have the most brilliant strategy to build your business, but if you’re carrying fear-based, negative beliefs, thoughts and feelings, you may sabotage the implementation of your strategy. You may “under-commit” to your success, procrastinate on taking action, take action ineffectively, play “small” or not value your services and your time, amongst other things. Inner resistance may even prevent you from creating a business plan in the first place.

Some of the more common, scarcity-based, limiting beliefs and resulting feelings that can impede your business’s progress are:

- believing you’re not “enough” - not good enough, smart enough, skilled enough, knowledgeable enough;

- believing you don’t deserve to be successful and receive an abundant income;

- believing it’s “unspiritual” for a healer like yourself to make an abundant income from your services and products;

- believing and/or fearing that you can’t make an abundant income as an entrepreneur with your own wellness business;

- believing it’s hard to attract clients;

- believing people won’t see the value of your services and products and, therefore, won’t willingly pay what you charge;

- believing people can’t afford to pay you and that there’s not enough money “out there” (general, lack-oriented beliefs);

- believing you have to work really, really hard, put in long hours and “suffer” for your income; and

- feelings of fear, pessimism, frustration, impatience, disappointment, doubt, worry, discouragement, insecurity, unworthiness and powerlessness.

Lightening Your Load

“To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, lightness.”

– Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

The good news is that once you know what resistant mental and emotional patterns are affecting your business, you have the power to transform them. You can uncover these patterns by paying attention to the way you feel as you think about your business and take action; negative emotion is always an indicator of resistance. If you tune into your inner wisdom and follow a negative emotion to its source, chances are you’ll find the limiting belief or thought behind it.

To do this may require that you carve out some “quiet time” in your schedule to be with yourself, your feelings and your thoughts. If you can do this right in the moment when you’re experiencing a negative emotion, it’s even better. Sit with your eyes closed and tune into the emotion, allowing it to exist without resisting it. As you feel the emotion, ask yourself, “what’s the thought that has triggered this feeling in me?”

Once you’re aware of the feelings and beliefs that are affecting you and your business, you can take steps to release and clear them. There are many fantastic tools available to help you do this, including the Sedona Method, Emotional Freedom Technique, Tapas Acupressure Technique and ThetaHealing.

You were born with unlimited potential that you can express in any area of your life, including your business. Releasing the inner patterns that are holding you and your business back will unleash this potential and allow you to experience more joy, satisfaction and success. So start clearing and watch your business soar!

No, not zillions, as you might expect.

When you expand your use of gemstone jewelry beyond mere beauty, to take advantage of the powerful healing properties of gemstones, you will discover that there are specific gems that closely match who you are as a person and your highly individual needs.

Make them into a magnificent piece of jewelry and you will have a constant resource for balancing and healing energy. If you are a woman, you are most likely wearing jewelry as you read this. Everyone loves jewelry. Of course we all have excellent taste and tend to prefer the most beautiful and expensive stones, such as diamonds, opals, rubies, and emeralds, at least I do!

Perhaps you have fallen in love with a special gemstone set in a beautiful piece of jewelry that had special meaning for you. Are you a gold or a silver type, when it comes to jewelry? What colors resonate with you intuitively? Do you feel drawn to earrings, or a pendant over you heart?

These are some of the many different considerations that enter into the creation of a truly magnificent, healing piece of jewelry for the soul, as I call it.

As above, so below. With this knowledge alone you may work miracles. With these simple words the ancient sage Hermes Trismegistos, the founder of alchemy, expressed how the infinite energy and beauty of the cosmos and the movement of the planets across the heavens find their expression in the smallest of things here on Earth, including gemstones and crystals, and in the events of our lives.

Today we know that all material objects are composed of and radiate energy. This is a basic scientific concept. Since humans belong to the material realm, we are also energy beings.The energy field of gemstones and crystals interact with our own when placed on the body.

Wearing jewelry is an ancient way of enhancing our own energy field with beautiful objects for healing, power, and symbolic meaning. Born of the unimaginable alchemical forces that forged the earths crust millions of years ago, gemstones and crystals are among the most beautiful and perfectly balanced specimens in the mineral kingdom. Their magic lies in their ability to infuse our energy field with their sparkling, colorful light and delight our eyes.

With an understanding of the individual energetic properties of each gemstone as well as its astrological principles, it is possible to harness the healing powers of gemstones to work in harmony with each person and their unique energy makeup.
This is exactly what we do with the help of astrology: we observe universal laws and principles in the macrocosm of the planets, and transfer our observations to people, events, or gemstones.

Astrology allows us to inquire more deeply into who we are and what we need for fulfillment and happiness in this life. It can give us direction for our vision and goals. It can cast light into the dark areas of the unconsciousness and help us grow beyond our limiting thoughts, feelings, and memories.

There are certain angles between the planets in your horoscope that are called hard aspects, because they point to areas of friction and challenges. These are weak spots in your life, where you may be out of balance or not aligned with your true self. The right gemstones can support you as you work through these challenges.

Take for example the ruby. I call the ruby the stone of unconditional love and true self-expression. The ruby is the warrior of the heart and the knight of our dreams. It can help us with our creative expression and pursuit of our passions.

The ruby helps to bring the energy flow up into the heart from the base of the body. It energizes by gently diffusing blockages in our energy flow and our life force in general.In the heart the ruby helps resolve wounds suffered in relationships and childhood experiences and helps us to forgive and develop deeper compassion.

All these aspects make the ruby a good choice for a wedding band, to support us in our journey with another human being, which is both challenging and enriching.

From my perspective as an astrologer and jeweler there are 12 main healing gemstones. These are your true birthstones, corresponding to the planetary configuration at the moment of your birth.

I suggest that you start with your 12 main healing stones based on your astrological horoscope. Find your true birthstones and use them to create a piece of jewelry meant just for you. From there you may discover a great many other beautiful specimens to support your body, mind, heart and soul.

Most of us are instinctively drawn to objects of beauty and we seek to adorn ourselves with beautiful jewelry both for our own pleasure and to enhance our appearance. Now you know about another powerful way of using jewelry in your life!
The beautiful gemstones are a gift and a tool for that inner journey of healing and balance through raising your consciousness.
I wish you a multitude of joyous experiences and many blessings with your new friends, the precious gems in your life. Enjoy your journey!

The western zodiac is a succession of twelve signs, each of them corresponding almost exactly to a month. Still, they don’t match the months of a year perfectly, as they are more connected with the stars and planets than with the humans’ tools of measuring time.

The horoscope Libra (23 September- 22 October) is a symbol of equity and justice, the ideogram of the sign suggesting the scales of a balance. It is usually said that the upper side of the ideogram signifies the metaphysical structures, and the lower means the material world, as those two will never melt into each other. This horoscope sign is a masculine, air one, prevalently intellectual, mental and reigned by Venus, the planet that increases the artistic talents, the taste for beauty and beautiful things, the sensuality, the sociability, but also jealousy, superficiality and sometimes immorality.

A native horoscope Libra has a wide open personality, never self centered, always looking forward to spending time with others and seeking for company. The world, the society, the people around him will be his major concerns. His life is completely dependent on others and he doesn’t have a strong personality. He will always need to hear others’ opinion on his acts, their approval and their support. In his marriage, he depends on his life partner, in his business he depends on his associates, and so on.

The society and the social life are the only ones that make him feel fulfilled. He likes helping others, being useful, and proving that he is a handy man. He can become a very popular person in his social environment, and either his marriage or his business will bring him joy, happiness and optimism. He knows how to be a real friend and how to listen, his social ability turning him into a great mediator in any conflict situation. Advertising, commerce or the juridical system are the main fields in which a native Libra will surely be successful.

A Libra’s love horoscope will say that, from all the horoscope signs, he is more likely to develop beautiful relationships, ones that will bring him delight, happiness and passion. According to the compatibility horoscope, the Libra matches the horoscope signs of Gemini and Aquarius. His match love horoscope states that he is attracted to his opposites, more than to the persons with a same mental, psychical and spiritual structure. His relationship with another Libra will be, thus, almost impossible. Scorpio and Virgo are Libra’s totally incompatible zodiac signs, as he will be annoyed by Scorpio’s unreasonable jealousy, and will get bored having a Virgo in his life, because of the her need for stability and the exaggerated attention to small details that describe the horoscope Virgo.

Even though he is a bit clumsy sometimes, and also a bit lazy, he is a very good and understanding person and he is willing to make a series of compromises and sacrifices in order to avoid conflicts and, in his personal life, to make his relationships work. All in all, a native Libra can be a trusted friend, from whom you can get comfort and understanding, and the love horoscope shows that the Libra is a great life partner who will be ready to do anything for the person he loves.

Life without love and a life partner cannot be called a complete and fulfilled life. But this life can be full of happiness and joy only when a person gets a partner who is compatible with his nature, thoughts and life style. For this it is necessary that the zodiac signs of the partners should be compatible with each other because the stars play a great role in forming the special qualities of a person. These inherent qualities have a great impact on the life of a person.

As a lover the tiger is very emotional and intense which makes him very possessive. They have a sensuality which not only attracts people but it makes them very sexy. Their curiosity to unveil the unknown is carried forward in their love life so to bind them the partner has to be a little secretive and allusive. In his married life he always likes to dominate and cannot tolerate the dominance of the partner.

They love fun and excitement and expect their partners to keep pace with them in all the activities of life. He likes to maintain his independence and expects his partner to do the same so he prefers a partner who can comply with his needs and maintain a life which does not interfere with the tiger’s independence. He openly expresses his love and his feelings and expects the same from his partner.

Zodiac Signs Those Are Compatible With Tiger

A tiger person is most compatible with a pig as the honesty and gentleness of the pig can control the rash behavior of the tiger. They are also able to provide a sense of total security with their sense of humor and attitude of friendship. So this relation will always be a long lasting relation.

The tiger is also very compatible with the horse as the horse people are attractive and very practical. Both of them are active and exhibit a feeling of warmth and love which binds them together. The instinct of the horse to foresee the future danger more quickly than the tiger helps them to overcome the oncoming misfortune with their alertness and sensitivity. This pair is an ideal pair.

Other compatible pair with the tiger is the dog whose loyal and loving nature gives the tiger the sense of dominance which he basically desires so it helps to bind him to the relation as rationality is developed in the tiger by the attitude of the dog.

The other compatible zodiac signs with the tiger are the dragon, the sheep, the rooster and the tiger with the tiger.

Negative Matches for Tiger

The worst match is between the tiger and the ox as the nature of the ox will never match the rash and irrational behavior of the tiger as the ox cannot compromise and have less tolerance power due to their attitude of taking every thing very seriously and being emotionally affected. This relationship will never last for long.

People born in the tiger year should never develop any love relationship with the people born in monkey year as they will always act as opponents. The teasing attitude of the monkey will always raise the anger of the tiger which will always be the cause of fights between them.

The zodiac sign Tiger is a part of the Chinese Astrology which is based on the lunar calendar. In the Chinese zodiac each sign has the duration for one year. In the zodiac circle the tiger is the third year and it comes back after twelve years. As the name suggests Tigers have a magnetism which draws people towards them.

They are dynamic and are always ready to take up a new project. Being energetic and hard working they always manage to succeed in the work that they begin. But if they fail it is mostly due to their impulsive nature as they plunge ahead without thinking about the consequences. It is observed that they like to work alone but for achieving the goal a constant vigilance is necessary to guide them if they take any wrong decision which may hamper the work.

Tigers are very competitive and they will never pass a challenge without participating in it. They are very status conscious which makes them very vulnerable to circumstances. Tigers are fond of traveling and they do not hesitate to spend any amount of money while they are on a traveling spree. They love action and adventure so if that is included in the travel agenda they will never think twice but will immediately set out with their bags and baggage.

Positive Characteristics of Tiger

The personality of the Tiger is so magnetic and commanding that people are drawn towards them as soon as they come in contact with the person. This irresistible personality is due to the inborn characteristics of calmness, and the authoritative attitude which draws respect from the people. They are frank and prefer to speak openly about any matter on the face rather than talking and criticizing at the back and they expect the same attitude from others.

They will not hesitate to explore something new but it should be a totally new idea and they should be the first person to do it. They are fast learners which are the gift of their intelligence combined with alertness and quick grasping power. They derive excitement and pleasure when they are offered some challenging job. This is the reason why they get bored with routine work and are always on the look out for new openings where they can do something innovative.

Tigers love power and they do not hesitate to become the leader as they know it is an influential position. They have a helpful nature and will never bother about money or time when they set out to help somebody. The animal quality of the tiger can be found in them. Just as the tiger likes to live in the clan in the same way the tiger person is happy when he is surrounded by friends. They are very energetic which is seen in all spheres of their life.

Negative Characteristics of Tiger

A Tiger person becomes self centered when he fails in his endeavor and develops an inflexible attitude towards all types of suggestions and advices. He can be very selfish when he is offered any challenge because at that time he will move ahead and not bother for his friends who are left behind. They are very short tempered. In this state they inflict pain on themselves. A tiger person is very stubborn. This is a characteristic of their obstinate nature for which they have to face lots of problems.

Taurus is characteristically serious and dependable. This implies to their love and compatibility as well. They are quite dependable lovers. Their romance is also defined by the stable and practical attitude that generates a clear communication with the partner. They can easily win the heart of their mate with their sincerity and attention. They can make their lovers feel really special. You will hardly find a Taurus who is moody and impulsive as a lover.

They think a number of times before approaching a person and once they are sure about being in love they prefer to be loyal and faithful to that person. They will never lie about their feelings and if a Taurus is expressing his or her love towards you then be rest assured that he is telling the truth from the core of the heart.
But sometimes their disciplined and methodical approach can make their partners feel little bored or intimidated which is not really good for the love compatibility between the two of them. So if you are a Taurus then make sure that you are giving enough space and freedom to your partner which is an important part of a healthy relationship.

What They Expect From Their Partners?

The Taurus people are slightly demanding to their partners. They are extremely devoted to their partner and also expect the opponent to be equally serious and faithful to them. This often leads to over possessiveness and to some extent jealousy. If the partner is not meeting him for few days or busy in some work then they become suspicious and unsecured for no reason which is harmful for a relationship.

At the same time they are scared to take any pain in love. But if you have a husband or boyfriend who is a Taurus then you really do not need to worry about him as they are firm about their decisions and rarely change them. The positive side of their love and sexual possessiveness is that this often leads to caring attitude towards the partner.

Love and Compatibility of Taurus with Various Sun Shines

Aries and Taurus are highly physical with their approach towards the love life. But the Taurus is even calculative and deliberate when it comes to love-making or romance. This is something that annoys the Aries as they are comparatively fun-loving and casual. They have other characteristic differences as well which makes their relationship a short term one.

Taurus makes a good combination with the Cancerians. The cancer is always seeking compassion and security and they prefer the partners who are caring and responsible. On the other hand the Taurus people are very much dependable by nature which makes them a good pair and marriage is possible between the two.
Libra shares very less common interests with the Taurus and their compatibility is good for sexual encounters but not for marriage. Taurus has got a lot of things common with the Capricorns. This is the reason their marriage and love affairs can be highly successful. Gemini, Leo and Virgo are not good at compatibility with the Taureans. Pisces can show good compatibility score with the Taurus.
