Full Beaver Moon

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual, Tara Sutphen

The Full Beaver Moon (Native American) at 24* Taurus will culminate, November 15, 2024 1:28pm PST/4:28pm EST (Farmers Almanac). Did you know that when you are looking at the moon, you are looking at it as it was 1.28 seconds ago because of the distance by light speed.

This Full Beaver Moon is about keeping your balance and staying steady. No risks at this time, you are building something in your life and if you are slow and steady you will win the race. If you speed past at this time, you will miss something of importance. 

It’s a very intense time. 

How is it we can help ourselves. We work on our health and well-being first and foremost. And how to do it is… Taking charge of your proactive movement. It’s not talking about it, it’s not thinking good thoughts, wisdom only comes when we move our intentions into action. It’s about getting a foothold on forward progress. As we advance we then easily boost ourselves and then facilitate our family and friends. 

You are given advice and wise choices everyday. Its important to listen now. What are you listening to is everything around you and your thoughts and reactions.

Here’s some tips on how to make clear decisions. 

  1. Use your Emotions – How do you Feel:
  • What do you want your health to be
  • What do you want your career to be
  • How do you want to make money
  • How much money do you want
  • How hard are you willing to work
  • How much time are you willing to study
  • How much time are you willing to work
  • Are you working smarter not harder
  • Where do you want to live
  • What kind of house do you want
  • Where are your opportunities
  • What are you afraid of
  • What are you NOT afraid of
  • What are your opportunities to date
  • Who are you committed 
  • Over 18 years, do they pull their share
  • Do you make conscious choices to clear your confusion – how.   

B. Use your Intellect – How do you reason:

  • What do you want your health to be
  • What do you want your career to be
  • How do you want to make money
  • How much money do you want
  • How hard are you willing to work
  • How much time are you willing to study
  • How much time are you willing to work
  • Are you working smarter not harder
  • Where do you want to live
  • What kind of house do you want
  • Where are your opportunities
  • What are you afraid of
  • What are you NOT afraid of
  • What are your opportunities to date
  • Who are you committed 
  • Over 18 years, do they pull their share
  • Do you make conscious choices to clear your confusion – how

Reasoning gives you a chance to be more objective about yourself and your needs over the emotional side of your nature.

C. Visualize your future

  • Create your perfect world in your minds eye
  • Be willing to compromise if you live with others
  • No rigidity

D. Stop Arguing

  • Make Space in your mind
  • Be truthful, especially to yourself
  • Make space in your future
  • Don’t fight for your limitations
  • Do not fall prey to others fear
  • Don’t judge others
  • Don’t persuade others
  • Do you have clear mind and why
  • Create strength of mind

E. Progressive Movement

  • Use your vitality
  • Use your personal power
  • We read, therefore learn
  • Use your core values
  • Take steps to achieve in health, well-being, career, well-being, relationships, love, positive direction
  • Use your education
  • Use your creativity
  • Use your sound plans
  • Create strength of body

Forward movement, we have been lead toward knowledge. The internet alone is full of useful information. Decipher, connect, or act accordingly on clueful information.

Everyone knows what’s wrong to do…bad habits, addictions, procrastination or rebelliousness. Bad tempers or isolation, release misfortune and start by being resourceful, capable and enterprising. Learning to listen again. Drinking plenty of water, and meditate. Resonating with the earth and expecting the very best instead of the very worst.

_____Encouragement is useful. Reassuring another person of the effort they make, not only makes them feel validated but it also makes you feel satisfied. No matter who thinks they act alone on the planet is not telling the truth to themselves. The farmer created food for you to eat and there were contractors to build your house. Let alone all the workers creating electronic equipment, entertainment devices, and cookware. Sewing you clothes and making your soaps, creating medicines and vitamins. We aren’t lone wolves, no matter what. Activate your abilities and strong skills, you have the ability to create the life you long for…

——“Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.” – Laurence J. Peter

Fall Equinox – Mabon
By Tara Sutphen 

Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 20/21/22 September 22, 2024 (Almanac) Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. 

Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth. Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. 

The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year. At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection. 

Symbolism of Mabon: – Second Harvest, the Mysteries, Equality and Balance. 

Symbols of Mabon: – Wine, gourds, pine cones, acorns, grains, corn, apples, pomegranates, vines such as ivy, dried seeds, and horns of plenty.

Deities of Mabon: – Goddesses-Modron, Morgan, Epona, Persephone, Pamona and the Muses. Gods-Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man. Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hussle-bussle of everyday life.

Full Corn Moon

Full Corn Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Corn Moon (Native American) at 25* Pisces will culminate, September 17, 2024 7:36pm PdT/10:36pm EdT (Farmers Almanac). We will have a Partial Eclipse, when we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as It brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us. The lunar eclipse will happen between 4:41pm Pacific / 8:41pm Eastern on Tuesday 9:47pm Pacific and 12:47am Eastern on Wednesday, with the maximum partial phase occurring at 7:44pm pacific /10:44pm eastern. It will be visible across most of the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.

This moon has you tenderhearted and more sentimental than usual. Your feelings and receptivity are heightened. The partial eclipse assents to discard all those sad, or bad feelings. Being in the human game of life gives us many ups and downs. We will have days we struggle and those where we overcome. It’s time to renew your life again, and what you need to leave behind. Where do we start the resolve…

Well, overcoming our sorrow is always a process. Festering over wrong-doings, feeling forlorn or alone, being stuck, jumping to conclusions, or acting out are all wasting our precious time on earth. Sure we make mistakes or get lost in sadness or remorse. We only have so much time and we should recognize holding on to any negativity blocks our progress. We only need to meditate, visualize, write down, and/or proceed to produce what we want in our future. Progress is our only option. Thinking wisely is a virtue. You might be fortunate in many different ways. But to suffer, we must remember to not wallow too long. We have a life to live. We dust ourselves off and make improvements.

If you know of someone suffering, how do you handle it? Of course, we all know of death and destruction. There are far too many circumstances about the suffering in our neighborhoods, let alone the mass of people in the world. You have many opinions and answers for others. What are the answers for you? How do you take a few moments to create peace for yourself? We must try and live our best life every day, to create peace within our hearts and minds, to live up to those we admire, and then go from there…

Full Sturgeon Super Moon

by Tara Sutphen, posted in Full Moon, Moon, sorce the moon, soul writers, Tara Sutphen

Full Sturgeon Super Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 27* Aquarius will culminate, on August 19, 2024, 11:28 AM PST/2:28 PM EST (Farmers Almanac). A super moon is only 8% bigger than normal, but when it first appears on the skyline you can see the illusion of how huge it appears!

This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being Unique. When you were a child, who did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? What profession did you want to have? Does your life look anything like you thought it would look? If it doesn’t, how would you want it to change?

Practicing an inner dialog with your younger self, allows you to progress into who you would like to become. It’s not about what happened in the past, it’s only about concentrating on the future. It’s about jumping from your childhood to a new starting point. A fresh standpoint is where you begin believing in yourself and your dreams. Visions of a potential you. You always have enough time to begin a changed aspect of yourself. Or to reach a cherished goal on your bucket list.

Reacting positively toward yourself, allows you to create situations of trust and calmness. People seldom gather their thoughts and wits in disappointment. Allow yourself to stop to listen and learn. If you have to dig deep, then start digging. Allow yourself to start dreaming of the real you. 

If we are not able to cope with daily life, we must change. You are not living an authentic life yet. We are supposed to live the life of our dreams. Let’s reprogram our minds with positive reinforcement. Learn with hypnosis, or pure willpower and make some headway. Don’t procrastinate. It’s never too late, we are to create our futures every second of our lives…

To Become Conscious:

  • Empathy: A sign of emotional intelligence is knowing how you are feeling… and being aware of how others are feeling. Everyone feels differently.
  • Adaptability: Learning to react appropriately.
  • Confidence: Being aware of your shortcomings and still acting in faith.
  • Mindfulness: Becoming aware of the Present. You have this time on the planet to be in the “NOW”. 
  • Patience: Allowing time to be your ally.
  • Kindness: No-one is perfect. Everyone needs a boost.

Steps to Making Dreams A Reality:

  • Focus
  • Intention
  • Set Goals
  • Be Inspired
  • Practice Thankfulness
  • Surround yourself with positive people
  • Inner Calmness
  • Outer Directness
  • Visualize
  • Honest Affirmations
  • Power of Your Thoughts
  • Power of Your Words
  • Power of Your Actions

_____ It’s important to set ourselves in a direction for success. The key to flourishing is honest reflection. Becoming

self-aware and waking up to our hopes allows us to focus on goals, strengths, and, positive ambition. Life is about enjoying the process of our motivation and aiming to better ourselves every day while enjoying the journey.

—-“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth—and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up—that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Lions Gate 8-8-2024

By Tara Sutphen

Meditate today into a deeper consciousness of your inner spirit that needs to be acknowledged.  You don’t have to disengage find your greater self. You need only to create the opportunity to go deeper into your central being. As you go deeper and more profoundly within. You become aware of your molecules and atoms and how they are starting to change, They are becoming filled with the God-light. Find yourself going into the Universal flow.  Connect to your outer aura and the atmosphere begins to thicken. As it becomes more concentrated, your aura starts to shine. It is the God-light penetration of your spirit. As you stay in this state of thoughtfulness for a few moments.  Deep within the portals of future pathways begin to open. These light trails are your soul-intentions. You are connected to all unconditional love. You now are in sync with the direction of your goals. 


The earth again is transformed into your playground. You are feeling as though you are being revived. You will not back out of the portal, you will go easily into this state of being when you sleep and in your awakened dreaming. Your energetic pull takes you further into your smooth future. Onward prosperity will come easily on earth. You are to live in wholesome wellness. Such wholesome wisdom. Such wholesome abundance. Money and Safety come easily. As you change your vibration to a thickening effervescence, you are allowing the attraction factor to be turned on more and more. You will expect miracles, good changes, amazing people, and fortuitous events to appear. Be in the Now. We Ask it, Beseech It, Mark it, and So it is…

Hypnosis, Hypnothesia, & Meditation

by Tara Sutphen, posted in Hypnotherapy, Tara Sutphen

Hypnosis, Hypnothesia and Meditation

By Tara Sutphen CHt

What can Hypnosis, Hypnothesia, and Meditation do for you?

Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness. You are put at ease while receiving beneficial suggestions in a relaxed condition.  You will always act on your morality and principles, You never have to worry about having your mind taken over as you have core beliefs and stay within those parameters. You may not feel knocked out or overly suggestible, but you can relax deeply and renew your body, mind, and spirit through this practice.

Change can be hard, but hypnosis lends itself to leading our minds in productive and affirmative directions. Instead of our mind fighting the body. Hypnosis is always a good antidote and it is enjoyable and very refreshing.


What are the different levels of brainwaves? 

  1. Gamma: concentration
  2. Beta: Active, Alert
  • Low Beta 12-15Hz

   Quiet Focus

  • Mid-Range Beta 15-20Hz

   Energy Performance

  • High Beta 18-40HZ

   Stress, Anxiety, Arousal

  1. Alpha: Relaxed, Passive
  2. Theta: Deeply Relaxed, Inward Focus
  3. Delta: Sleep

Hypnosis isn’t so much a trance as it is a state of ultra-calm, you feel a bit dazed by the outside world as your focus ability and concentration come into effect. You sometimes feel like you’ve found something you have lost. If nothing else the deep sense of relaxation and concentration ability. In a session, you hear only the hypnotist’s voice and you are compelled to follow along. You come into a vivid mind and your inner clarity can release or analyze issues, feelings, and/or events. 

The Levels of Hypnosis

  1. Novice – Light hypnosis. You may need to acquire the know-how. You may not feel like your hypnotized but if you see your hypnotherapist regularly or record and listen to your hypnosis sessions, you will notice outward changes. These can be good changes, such as breaking bad habits (smoking or losing weight) When you learn to trust your mind more, you can work on harder tasks. (Success, Accelerated Learning, etc)
  2. Advanced Beginner – Connected to the “know-how” you begin to develop a cohesion of the senses and consciousness in hypnosis, gaining confidence and making effort. REM (rapid eye movement) 
  3. Competent – A feeling of super relaxation. Feeling too relaxed to walk around. You are in your inner mind and developing a bond with your wellness and totality. True Healing begins here on many emotional and physical levels.
  4. Proficient – You could be a somnambulist or learn very fast a skill or talent. You can overcome pain easily. You can heal your body and mind at a very fast pace. Discipline is key. 
  5. Expert – In tune with All the senses. You can work at a Theta Level on your health and well-being. This is exceptional attunement to your essential nature.

Here are some stages to a Hypnotherapy session.

  • Convey Problems, Phobias, and Issues –
  • Convey Hopes, Wishes, and, Wanted Changes +
  • Relaxation position
  • Induction
  • Deeper into a state of relaxation
  • Therapeutic process
  • Positive Reinforcement
  • Beneficial Suggestions
  • Anchoring
  • Awakening
  • Homework/Practice

Hypnothesia:

Hypnothesia is an easy way to get to your desired goal. There is no homework involved. The suggestions are given while you are in a mild state of anesthesia by a medical doctor, a trained MD Anesthesiologist. Tara, then instructs you to receive your consideration list that she has carefully prepared with you. They are a list of your very own suggestions. This is what I call the fast fix. It could be to help overcome your trauma, drama and failed efforts. 

Sometimes it gets hard to achieve desired personal and outwardly successful results because your inner compass stalls or takes your will power into a negative direction. Food addictions, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, boredom, unhappiness and depression all lead to a sluggish lifestyle. Sometimes it’s the opposite of slow, and many find themselves chasing their dreams in the wrong directions and being hyperactive and over-reactive. 

Hypnothesia is a new brain-mind technique where we override your conscious mind to get to your deeper self, addressing directly your blocks or issues, suggestions can be made into your subconscious mind; allowing a more positive and productive approach to your desires and goals. Example: If you want to quit smoking, I’ve found the client dreams of smoking but they put out the cigarette in their dreams, never desiring another cigarette after their session. 

If you want to eat, sleep, or overcome a problem properly. You can get on track with your health, and strength in mind and body easily in this way. Maybe you’ll find that Hypnothesia will be the answer for you.  

Meditation:

When in meditation you can find yourself daydreaming. Try to guide your thoughts into positive scenes and outcomes. And the best is to come back to your silence and inner peacefulness. If you are full of anxiety or frustration, you are to set those feelings aside and come back to your center. The real you. The human that God Loves no matter what…Hypnosis and Meditation are safe and enjoyable experiences.

Beltaine

Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (10* Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.

Beltane | Beltaine is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.

Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.

Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire”

Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group

Buy or Pick flowers

maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)

Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing

May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon

If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.

Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:

What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.
