Welcome everyone to  September's multi layered month that has positive healing energy flowing from the beginning of September to the end of September.

The first layer of September
 
The first layer addresses us on a personal level, not our heart, work or family but ourselves. The universe is slowing us down from August's fast and furious pace of socializing and making dead lines at work happen to putting the brakes on forcing us to be self reflective in order to bring any personal issue to an end that we have been holding on to. September is your month to see the full truth of how you feel about a person, job, or making a change within yourself that you feel no longer works for you. By mid September  to the end of September choices and decisions will be made. Very few people will hang onto the past in order to allow personal happiness to grow. Even though you may be feeling emotional throughout September you are not depressed. Letting go of anyone or anything including a bad habit will bring on an emotional release because we are saying good bye to what we no longer want. Remember letting go is a choice we are making therefore it is a positive action not a negative response.

With the universe slowing us down we will find this same energy effecting our work space as well as our relationships.

A slower pace of work 

Welcome the slower pace found at work this month. You will be able to review and revise any projects or contracts that may have been rushed last month.  Best time to finalize any type of contract will be months end rather than the first half. Take your time in making sure what you are signing has all the details you were requesting. September will find mistakes happen through text, email and printing. There will be dropped words, sentences, paragraphs and even pages. Double check all work you are sending out or coming to you don't assume everything is correct. You may also find getting out of work on time impossible. Largely due because ourselves getting lost in what we are doing and thinking I will just finish this one thing or I will wrap up this situation before I go and before you know it an hour or two has gone by.

September isn't a great month for new doors opening up for those unemployed however, I am feeling someone from your past may present a job offer to you. Any offers of this kind will be solid as well as a positive opportunity.

Relationships 

With the universe helping us be reflective on a personal level we will find our solid relationships breezing through September quietly choosing to stay at home alone with entertaining to the minimum. Those who are single or in relationships that are just coming together you too will find you are more wanting to be alone with self rather than going out. The great thing is I don't feel anyone feeling jilted or injured because dates are being broken. Everyone seems to be opting to spend some time on their own. Keep communication open and honest between you and your who ever about wanting to be alone or spend a quiet evening in by yourself and your friend, lover or family member will understand.
​
This month is about facing anyone you may have to let go of regardless if it is a lover, friend or family member who has become co dependent, abusive or the relationship has worn itself out. I truly feel these endings even though you may feel the loss it will not be heart breaking. In most cases the other person may also agree the relationship should come to an end.

Be careful of theft as well as break ins of the house and car this month. Double check doors are locked and you have your wallet, purse, keys, cell phone, passport and anything else that may be important to you if you are carrying it.

In short September is a gentle month for bringing about personal changes for the better through finding closure and endings we are needing to do for ourselves to be happy.
Our work place may have us going home late due to time escaping us while we are revising projects, contracts or redoing emails that got lost in cyber space. Job opportunities will come more from someone we had worked with in the past rather than a new door opening. However that past opportunity will be solid and a positive one.
Married, single, beginning a new relationship as well as any friendships, we all are wanting some down time this month to be alone by having a quiet evening at home. Great thing is no one will have any bruised feelings if you communicated this openly and honestly. This hermit reflective energy will not allow get togethers to happen for our single people to meet someone new. October is just around the corner opening up this energy to welcome people in our space again.

In the mean time everyone enjoy the quiet time to heal from anything that has held you back from moving forward.

Sit still, Be silent and Listen......
It is in silence that we see what our soul has been reflecting back at us to
Deal with and to Heal from.

Did you know that essential fatty acids (EFAs) can help your child with focus and attention? Now that school is heading back in, it will be all that more important for your child to focus and have good attention during the school hours. An excellent way to accomplish this is by giving your child sources of EFAs in the morning with their breakfast and also packed in their lunches at school.
 
What are sources of EFAs?
 
Salmon, Herring and Mackerel fish are an excellent source, and for this reason, I recommend that clients give their children the Botanica Omegalicious fish oil. They are delicious, naturally flavoured Tangerine, Coconut Pineapple, Mango Peach and Key Lime and taste more like a dessert than a fish supplement. You can add this oil to your child’s yogurt, put it on their pancakes or just simply serve it to them off a spoon.
 
Other sources are: hemp seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, almonds, broccoli, spinach, olive oil, whole grains and eggs so add these foods to lunches where you can.
 
Our brains are 80% fat, and so it’s important for all of us to be having an EFA supplement daily. Not only that - EFAs have been shown to improve eye health so all the better for your child’s eyesight as they are now focusing on their school work.
 
If you are using the Botanica Omegalicious Fish Oil, for children 1-2 tsp/day, teenagers 1 tbsp/day and adults 2 tbsp/day would be recommended. In Calgary this brand of oils can be found at most health food stores, especially Community Natural Foods, Planet Organic, Blush Lane and Amaranth Whole Foods.
