Hina my girl cat who I adore, needed her yearly check-up. Unlike Lil Bit my boy who is a worldly and experienced car passenger, she cried all the way there. Her cries are so sweet, I can hardly stand it. It pulls at my heartstrings. She is the sweetest girl and greets everyone who comes to the the door. So I was floored when she hissed at the Vet. I laugh right now thinking about it. Every touch she hissed. She didn't try to bite at all but she let the Vet know she was not happy. I absolutely loved her for it. I apologized to the Vet for her but inside I was secretly proud and bursting at her hissing and the way she acted.
It made me think of how we beat ourselves up for not being patient or for being angry, or for going to far. I think a mark of becoming an adult is having compassion for yourself when you mess up, and knowing that you are not perfect and will never be. And somebody close to you absolutely loves your idiosyncrasies and strange ways.

Feeling like you have a hangover after last weeks monumental cosmic-universal happening? It was Major! Full-on intense energy is causing clearing and change at levels we are not even aware of yet.
How do you feel this week? March 20th was epic! A monumental cosmic-universal happening. I'll be happy to hear if you are riding the wave and flowing free. But if you are feeling a bit like a truck hit you like I am, be sure to let yourself rest and integrate this huge metamorphosis.
Here's How to Integrate These Changes Now
Clear Your Energy
Take a sea salt bath. Sea salt takes away negative energy and clears your auric field. If you can't take a bath, get into the ocean or a body of water or listen to an ocean meditation like the one streaming for free at my site now.
Chill Out
Gift yourself the morning, afternoon, evening or whole day to regenerate and rest. Laying in bed with your whole body supported beneath you allows for deep rest and relaxation. And baby-cakes you deserve it!
Have Fun
Recreation means recreate. Spend some time with friends maybe a intimate dinner or coffee date. If your energy is high bust out and go dancing or try something completely new!
Clear the Clutter
Clean out of areas in your home based on what you want to let go of and what you want to create. Clearing space moves energy. Use the Feng Shui chart below to see where the wealth area of your home is. Bring red and the royal colors of purple and blue to this area.
If you have clutter in this part of your home or in this corner of your office, clean it up and get rid of stuff. Clean out your basement. It is related to your root chakra: resources, security and stability issues.
Quiet Time
Spend time quietly with your thoughts. Pick a question or two from this post if you haven't thought about what you are up to now. Muse and dream. Your body goes into a completely different state when you let your imagination take the wheel. This is akin to field of manifestation.
It's time to do it. Don't be afraid. If you are feeling a bit perfectionistic like I do a lot as a Virgo, you might be putting this off. Having the power to create what you really want during this auspicious time might be intimidating.
Look underneath what your wants and wishes are. Do you wish to have more time? Why? Because it would bring relaxation and peace to your life? Affirm peace and relaxation now. If you want to take it a step further, go for the gold and create actions that would bring peace and relaxation to your life now. But the bottom line is, aligning with what we want...peace, relaxation, freedom, love, or wealth brings it to us causing a trickle down affect. And now is the time to shift.
We are always shifting, turning and transforming especially so when we've asked for it and/or are willing. I know you are going for the gold, the top of the mountain. Can you see me waving at you?
I wish for your deepest dreams to come true and that your life is filled with lots of what you want. And your cosmic hangover is gone!
Share what's going for you with me. We'll see if we can bring some cosmic-universal magic your way.
Your Virgo Goddess,
Tatiana

I recently saw Elizabeth Gilbert the amazing author of "Eat Pray Love" on Super Soul Sunday and had to write down something she said that rocked my world and shook my heart.
She said, "All my demons and all my monsters I've been carrying around forever, the light came through. Oh they're not demons, they're not monsters, they're not dragons. I've been making them more grandiose than they are. They're just the orphaned parts of of me. They're just the fear-fullest, most young terrified parts of me. They are scared to death! And they are throwing temper tantrums because of their fear and now I have to tell them that it's going to be OK and they will all go to sleep. I am the mother of all these parts of me.
This blew my mind. Something in me released and let go.
She goes on to say "...I remember just sort of ascending above them all and just saying I love you fear and now you go to sleep. I love you anger, you're a part of me. Go to sleep. It's fine. I'm in charge now. I love you shame, even you come into my heart. Go to sleep. You're safe. I love you. I'm not leaving you. I'm not leaving you. I can't. You're a part of the family. You can never be away from me. I love you failure. (That's the one that got me. OMG!) Come into my heart. You're so tired. You're so scared. You're just children. You don't know how the world works. I love all of you. I have space for all of you and together we're just going to go forward now. But Mommy's driving now and Mommy is the part of who can embrace everything I am."
It's pretty obvious Elizabeth Gilbert has done a lot of work and soul searching. Her book "Eat Pray Love" took the world over. I've taken to following her on Facebook, reading her quotes from the recent tour she did with Oprah. I resonant with her like a soul sister.
I also believe our troubled parts and the worst experiences of our time down here on Earth, are the biggest opportunities for redemption and freedom, for growth and transcendence. I also LOVE that she says Joseph Campbell, one the greatest teachers and mythologists of all time, is wrong to not include women as heroes. You GO GIRL!
Healing and restoration began in my troubled part of town the moment I heard her say, "I love you failure. Come into my heart. Rest, you are so tired." The rescue team arrived with food and supplies. The streets were going to be cleaned up. Blankets for warmth, comfort and security were available if needed. I am very familiar with the troubled child in me that says I must be doing something, and trying to make something important happen.
She wants to be all things to everyone and always do "the right thing". She says you haven't started the next album. What songs will go on them? How many do you have so far? She says you haven't done any vlogs lately. When will you get back to that so you can help people?
I decided to really connect with her in meditation. I wanted to get to know her, see her and feel her. The rescue had begun. What does she look like? What is she wearing? What's her mental state? How does she feel and why? I asked to be led to her and guided from above. What was her name?
Hearing Elizabeth's words made me want to make contact with her, love her and give her sanctuary. She was tired. Her hair and clothes were dirty, and she looked disheveled. She was holding doll that looked dirty and disheveled too. She needed attention and nurturing. I saw what happened and why she looked this way.
I could feel her bottomless sense of defeat and deep pain. She would never measure up, no matter what she did. She could never do enough to ease that pain. But she would try, well into adulthood.
Because of her pain, and troubled mind and heart, I have always wanted to help people be free of the past and transcend it. Life is meant to be appreciated and lived with freedom, love and creativity. We don't have to be slaves of our past, of the thoughts in are heads, or our supposed futures.
Even when you think you've found a home for all your lovely little monsters, they will need attention. Something will come up, something will get triggered. We are free when we give our troubled parts a safe and secure home. They deserve our time, respect and attention too.
"F" the part of me from childhood who holds failure and still feels that way sometimes, now has a Princess name. She needs one of the best rooms in my house. She deserves sanctuary and rest. She gets the "Princess Room" in the quietest and safest place in the house. She needs space, and room to breathe, dream and create from joy...not just pain.
Because she is totally protected, accepted and loved, her "should-be's" (because they still come up) are creative ideas and options. They just need a bit of guidance from Mommy the heroine, who is in charge.
