YOUR HEART FIRE CULTIVATION RITE

1. Pour a cup of fine salt and a half-cup of dried rosemary (a herb of love, according to Edmundo) into a bowl. Mix well, thoroughly combining the two crucial magical ingredients. 
2. Spread the salt-rosemary mix out on a clean, empty tabletop in the shape of a heart.
3. Set a white pillar candle in the middle of the heart and light it. 
4. Pull a seat up to the table, placing the center of your chest in alignment with the pointed bottom of the heart.
5. Gaze into the candle’s flickering light, breathe steady, and begin to transpose the image of the fire. Imagine the flame before you isn’t on the table but INSIDE you. Deeper than organs and body. Deep as the soul and spirit. 
6. When you can truly connect to this visual, begin to speak the following words: As the old oak absorbs carbon dioxide, I breathe in my fear and hurt. 
7. Take a deep breath in, and continue: As the old oak exudes oxygen, I breathe out forgiveness and bliss.
8. Breathe out, slow and purposeful. Imagine that candle flame doubling, tripling, quadrupling in size. Feel its warmth licking at your collar.
9. Begin to imagine it solidifying – less a wavering thing, more a constant burn. Tell yourself that nothing could extinguish it. Say: As the ocean rises to meet the storm, I recognize the potential of future tumult.
10. Take a deep breath in, and continue: As the ocean settles undeterred, I make my love undimmable. Breathe out.
11. Observe a few minutes of silence before extinguishing the candle and clearing away the salt-rosemary mixture. 

When you finish these steps, you’ll have completed the Rite. Within a few hours, your Heart Fire will burn bright and beautiful, sheltered from future harm. 

And you’ll be free to enjoy that unburdened, passionate love that should always have lived in your chest!

You’ll also be free to delve into your FREE Three-Month Charted Path…

YOUR THREE-MONTH CHARTED PATH

Onto the Path!

(As you know, each of these struggles and opportunities will be changed by the closeness and connectivity you can now fully experience with your loved ones/inner circle. The struggles will be less complicated to resolve, and the opportunities much easier to seize.)

Month One:        

STRUGGLES:

A friendship of differing realities – Reconnecting with your friends may lead you to see one of them differently/notice a discrepancy between their version of events and yours. Talk it through and have compassion, but don’t agree to disagree on things you know the truth about (or you’ll suffer the emotional consequences).

OPPORTUNITIES:

• Considerable financial gains – In the last week of this month, you’ll have a chance to make significant economic gains IF you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone – not in terms of where you’ll put your money but in terms of where you’ll be and what you’re doing. Have faith. Have confidence. Be bold. 
• Romantic sparks flying – When your lover proposes a romantic weekend away, do all you can to make the dates work. This is precisely the sort of thing you need to reconnect to your beauty, softness and sensuality. Prioritize not just your romantic love but your romantic relationship with yourself.

Month Two:        

STRUGGLES:

• A potential financial misstep – In the first couple of weeks of the month, you may face a financial issue if you fail to consider your investments wisely and carefully. Take advice from trusted loved ones, think about things overnight, and don’t rush headlong into a decision you won’t be able to take back.
• A work pitfall disguised as an opportunity – It’s easy to see every chance you get to progress your career as an instant win. This month, please hold onto the thought that moving in the wrong direction just for the sake of moving somewhere is not a good idea.

OPPORTUNITIES:

• Emotional catharsis in closure – Chase your closure moment as the month comes to an end. When you’re invited to ask why about something important, don’t be afraid to do so because you assume the answer will reflect badly on you. The you of yesterday is not the you of today or tomorrow, anyway!
• Fortune favors the bold – A brave last-minute decision could lead you into a week of ultra-potent astral luck. I can’t give you all the details since this has to be spontaneous and genuine for it to work. All I can say is that when your gut speaks to you, you absolutely must listen. You know, in your core, the correct answer.

Month Three:        

STRUGGLES:

• Boundaries crossed – A family member is likely to try and cross an established boundary of yours during either the second or third weekend of the month. If you can avoid family at these times, that’s preferable. If not, do what’s necessary to protect your peace. Don’t fold in on yourself and take on that bitterness.

OPPORTUNITIES:

• A brand-new, brilliant friendship – Three months out from the Rite, your repaired interpersonal love bonds will bring you a new chance in the form of a friend of a friend. A person you could really connect with, understand and enjoy the company of. Be open to new, and you’ll find it’s open to you.
• Two twin windfalls – Two twin windfalls of wealth will land in your lap within two weeks of each other if your good Samaritan heart is given the chance it deserves to shine this month. Look out for opportunities to give back – emotionally and financially.
• A moment for rest – Look out for a chocolate brown dog. An unexpected encounter will connect you to someone with the power to help you understand and appreciate relaxation. To recognize the value of rest as its OWN thing – rather than an important element of recuperating and continuing on to the NEXT thing.

That concludes your Charted Path. I know I’ve shared a lot with you today – I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you need some time and space to take it all in!

Take a breath, sort the Rite first, and feel free to look at the Path outline a month at a time if that suits you better. 

You’ve got this,        …

Your loving friend,
