Sucharita welcomed us today, December 23, 2017, to this\u00a0Powertime Practice<\/b>\u00a0call with an introduction on what these calls are all about:\u00a0the Energy of Time<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 What is the energy of Time?\u00a0 The energies of time are associated with the position of the stars and planets in the sky and where they lie in our birth charts.\u00a0 Everyone asks the same deep questions, such as, what is the meaning of life and what are we doing here?\u00a0 On our quest for the answers to these questions, we have found\u00a0Dr. Pillai<\/b>\u00a0who is teaching us the\u00a0Energies of Time<\/b>\u00a0and how are we going to be able to take advantage of these times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We may have noticed that last week that we may been out of sorts, feeling low or overwhelmed.\u00a0 If we look at the energy of time, we see that the sun has just transited into a new sign.\u00a0 It was the shortest day of the year-the winter Solstice.\u00a0 We need to dive deep inside, and do our spiritual practices and tap into the energies of Time to get ahead of the game\u00a0 and feed our souls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is the\u00a06th<\/sup>\u00a0moon<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 This is associated with Lord Muruga and Mars.\u00a0 This may make us a little bit feisty!\u00a0 Christmas Day is the\u00a08th<\/sup>\u00a0Moon<\/b>.\u00a0 It is half way from the start to the finish of the Moon phases.\u00a0 Be careful because it can seem like there is conflict looming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a011th<\/sup>\u00a0moon<\/b>\u00a0is coming up\u00a0 this week.\u00a0 This is called\u00a0Ekadasi<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0 At this time of year it’s called\u00a0Vaikunta Ekadasi<\/i><\/b>. This is a time when Vishnu can give you money miracles.\u00a0 Dr. Pillai is giving us the tools to have abundance by sharing these power times.\u00a0 He wants us to live 200% lives-materially and spiritually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sucharita tells us that our memories are our thoughts.\u00a0 When we see anyone we know, we see them through the memories of the past.\u00a0 Our thoughts are our karma!\u00a0 When we are stuck to our memories, we create the present to match our past thoughts.\u00a0 Everyone has their own memories of the past, and they are all different and none of them are accurate!\u00a0 This is what happens when we are not tuned into the Divine. Tune into the Divine and learn the time energies (shaktis) and we can shape our future into how we want it to be!\u00a0 We have total control over every moment and how it will be played out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sucharita tells us that the soul is accessed through the eyes and karma comes in through the eyes!\u00a0 Check your eyes, look into them in a mirror.\u00a0 Gazing into a mirror, you will see your soul:\u00a0 the eyes are the windows into the soul.\u00a0 Go from your forehead back into the middle of your brain.\u00a0 This is the pineal gland, the Third Eye, The Seat of the Soul!\u00a0 In just a couple of minutes you have accessed your\u00a0higher self<\/b>.\u00a0 If only for a brief moment, this is extremely advantageous.\u00a0 Your soul is way more intelligent than your silly thoughts!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone mentioned in the \u201cchat\u201d that they are going through their\u00a0Sade Sati<\/b>, a seven and a half year period ruled by Saturn.\u00a0 The word \u2018Sade Sati\u2019 literally means \u2018Seven and Half\u2019 and denotes the 7 1\/2 year period of Shani, the planet Saturn. While Saturn itself remains a feared planet, this period in particular is considered astrologically, as a time of trials and tribulations. This \u2018difficult\u2019 period begins when planet Saturn enters the zodiac sign that falls immediately before an individual\u2019s zodiac sign of birth, and will continue during the time when Saturn will transit that sign and also the next 2 signs. As Saturn remains in a sign for about 2 \u00bd years, it takes a total of 7 \u00bd years to cross over the 3 zodiac signs. A person will normally be required to undergo a\u00a0<\/b>Sade Sati period<\/b><\/a>\u00a0on more than one occasion in a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

This can be a difficult period to go through because Saturn teaches lessons-sometime very difficult lessons.\u00a0 Saturn slows things down so we can clean up all the karma that we have created over the years.\u00a0 She mentions a book called\u00a0The Greatness of Saturn<\/i><\/b>\u00a0byRobert Svoboda<\/b>, that everyone and especially those going through the Sadi Sate, should read.\u00a0 There is much to learn through the mythology of the planets.\u00a0 Saturn says \u201cSlow down and smell the roses!\u201d\u00a0 Be compassionate with yourself!\u00a0 Saturn is patient and compassionate and helps you to get through the struggle.\u00a0 He slowly helps you to scrub your soul like an expensive pot that you have gotten encrusted with burned-on food!\u00a0 The pot is worth it, so you keep on scrubbing.\u00a0 You end up with a shiny new pot!\u00a0 Every moment is a fresh start!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sucharita talked about\u00a0Christmas<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jesus the Christ<\/b>, saying He was so compassionate and strong and left us with the\u00a0Holy Spirit.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
