What to expect of 2015

Knowledge is power :-) But knowing something, understanding it and then living it are three different things... My name is Julia Theunissen and this is my life, i read, examine, feel and then advise... studying and knowing what is coming is my job, from coaching people to reading the future, to studying a science like Astrology and interpreting dreams is all apart of my daily life, i was raised this way and find that balancing the mind and my intuition has become a very useful asset in my life. In this first article i will discuss the year 2015, what you can expect, the most useful and also frustrating times and months, how to get through them, and also how you can plan for the year ahead.... obviously this is a general view point for humanity as a whole and as individuals we will also experience these factors but our individual paths will also play a huge role.

Firstly lets discuss the number 2015 this in itself plays a huge role as every year brings a different energy and 2015 comes to an 8, a very powerful number in numerology, the eight usually stands for money and power, its a number for responsibility and restructuring, laying new foundations and general action and hard work. However first and foremost the biggest lesson for 2015 will be balance, and probably the most dangerous imbalance we as humanity face today is the enormous technological advances we are experiencing... technology is a huge asset in our lives it gets things done, however it is also probably the biggest thief of down time, play time, and relaxation, this constant need and also want to feel connected. Everything runs, flows within each other, we are constantly syncing, downloading, chatting and being notified on everything we own, the days of switching off are gone, we need to literally switch off the phones, the tablets and the computers... even our tvs and sound systems have become hubs for communication... but to switch off is, in my view and opinion, creating a new kind of addiction and phobia, the need to stay connected or FOMO (Fear of missing out) is high, as well as constant anxiety that we may miss something important or feeling guilty for not being available. This year is all about finding the balance, being available but also loving and respecting ourselves and others enough to know when to switch off and be switched on :-)

2015 will bring growing imbalances when it comes to power, money, religion and the economy. This year the economy will be affected the most and you can expect the financial markets to experience ups and downs and this will make investing very fluctuating. There will be rebellious action in countries where suppression is high, and there will be outrage in countries where people have felt used for many years. In general there will be unrest and movement. All constructive and destructive energy towards restructuring even if it means tearing it all down in order to start over again. Justice and fairness are key words for 2015!

From the beginning of January till about mid August we are in a very lucky and expansive time, this time period will allow us to experience knowledge and expand our understanding, this will be a great time for optimisms, growth, generosity, joy and abundance. This time period will be a good time to take calculated risks, we will be at our best when thinking big and displaying confidence in ourselves... this time period will be highly beneficial if we embrace our more confident, brave and outgoing self... we will all attract more good fortune if we act sincere, are generous with others on all levels and avoid pitfalls such as egotism. The most prosperous areas will be the creative, recreational and entertainment sectors. 

This cycle will also put a very strong emphasis on expressing affection, admiration, romance and uniqueness within our relationships... it will be very beneficial and important to help each other and be open to growth on a larger scale than just one self. Although growth first takes place within ones self, to spread that wisdom and knowledge will be prosperous. A lot of us will also be very interested in learning and gaining knowledge, so studying will be under a good star in general, this will also be a good time to expand on our hobbies, become more creative and  develop communication skills to improve our relationships... these 8 months will give us the opportunity to enjoy life, play and have more fun.

With this great expansion time there also needs to be a balance as moderation is very important, do not over this period focus too much on your ego or image, bragging, and exaggeration may occur and giving or spending too much needs to be kept in check... this time is for expansion, ideas and creativity, taking action and risks but staying clear of extravagances. Always keep the bigger picture in mind rise above the pettiness the mundane excuses or inconveniences and make your dreams and plans a reality with this great action/expansion time period.

For greater success this year in your career or business be more proud, confident and giving, make people, customers or clients feel special, exert an energy of positiveness and re frame from negative speaking or slandering, do not betray anyone in your dealings as it will come back to you. Although a good time for work and money, again keeping the balance in spending and gaining will be utmost important, treating everyone involved with respect will benefit you and others. In general over this time period relationships of all nature will flourish, however keep your negative jealous tendencies in check and avoid all power games and struggles, try and communicate, expand the relationship, and understand each other even in disagreement respect will be necessary.

During the winter months of June to August there will be a hard transit period of delays, frustrations and pressures. During these 3 months it will be imperative to face reality to look at what needs to change and to be truthful in all areas. This may be a time where a lot of us are faced with many decisions and become more responsible... the most important message for this slow and frustrating period of waiting is too live in the moment. Life will be experienced as slow and also as hard, it will be very important to watch all spending and also save ... sometimes we may feel misunderstood or left out during this period, and taking responsibility for our actions will be most beneficial... passing blame for the problems in our lives will only make life and circumstances harder and more unbearable. During these 3 months having down time, balance and relaxation will be good as depression will and can set in... the best advise is to re-organize and stay doing and keeping at the basics, just living day by day and not splashing out in any way. This time period may feel like life and business has come to a complete halt. Key words for this time are: Moderation and Caution, accept what is. Simplicity, realism and truth will be highlighted. Emotions may run high and fears, anxieties and illness may also occur in many of our lives, staying true to ourselves and communicating intentions and ideas and following through on them will help.

2015 will have many opportunities to really go all out and make life happen and then there will be a winter time, for being strict and real, however there are 3 other very important dates to diaries for the year: 21 January-11 February / 19 May-11 June and 17 September-9 October... these 3 very important time periods will be quite irritating and frustrating. The key elements to these 3 time period is communication, all verbal and technological communication will be affected over these dates... you may find that your phone, computer, email or even messages will be delayed, not go through, and also get lost. In relationships we will misunderstand each other, conflicts will be high, and it will be very dangerous to sign any contracts during these 3 periods. Very important to remember as well, as all technological devices will be acting up, not working at all or driving you insane i would advise against purchasing anything in that nature over this time as you will probably buy a dud :-) I have myself tested and defied this rule many times and have always been disappointed by not listening to my own advice lol.

The key during this time is to stay calm, maybe shut off and go for a walk as the more frustrating the problem the more your emotions will get involved and this will bubble over into our relationships. Avoid conflict as no resolution will take place, and taking care when driving will also be important. Recognizing this information and just laughing about it will help ease the pain lol :-)

This year will be what you make of it, even in the best of times i have seen people sabotage themselves, on the other side in the worst of times i have experienced people achieve amazing results all because their attitude was right and positive... perseverance and stalking your mind and emotions will put you in first place during this year. Sitting back and letting life live you however will not bring you the happiness or abundance we strive for.

The most requested need: I Just want to be HAPPY?

I am astonished by how often i hear the phrase I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY... or will i ever be happy? will i ever find happiness? It is amazing how this want and need has become a major part in our lives... and let me start off by saying its actually an easy task to manage if you know how... the key is to know yourself!

I see happiness like a mood, not a place or necessarily a constant feeling, Happiness is a state of being, and sometimes one has to decide to be happy no matter what :-) Sometimes we have bad or good moods, and like any mood it can last a few moment or a few hours, this is how happiness works, this state of being can easily be changed either willingly or unwillingly. Just like a bad mood can last for hours and can be brought on by something externally, something internally as well as be taken away by our feelings, emotions, self talk or other people, circumstances and outside influences, so can happiness.

The more one can see happiness as a state, a mood that can be brought in or fabricated by either yourself or circumstances then you can take back power over your own happiness, emotions and well being. It is a common fact that when one is happy then health and abundance follows... its not so much what is happening around you, who you are in a relationship with or how much money one has, sure these factors do play a role in general happiness, however it is during these times that i feel one should work even harder at keeping the state of happiness alive... i feel people chase this state and feeling too much not knowing that it can be there for 1 minute or a few days, but that it is up to us to spur it on, give it energy, or deplete ourselves from it...

The more you stalk your mind, listen to your thoughts, self talk, and your emotions the more you will get to know where sabotage, self esteem issues and general negativity comes from YOURSELF! I feel taking responsibility for ones own happiness through keeping a balance, its not about making everyone happy or being there for everyone, its about being there for yourself, taking time out to really figure out what makes you smile... having alone time to think and contemplate, meeting up with friends, and having different energies around to uplift and energies the body and mind... routine and constant day in and day out comfort zone will also bore the inner child and happiness may be harder to regain.

Follow the simple rule...Take 20 minutes every day for yourself to get active, or meet up with people, or relax to calm the mind and body, spend time by yourself, and know what pushes your buttons and you over the edge. Know what makes you smile, what YOU need to be centered and in control, do not blame others and stop making excuses!

The Three Networks

Recently i have been fascinated by studies that show we don't only have one brain network in the head but actually 3 brain networks in our body's... these networks are a cluster of pathways controlling and responsible for certain movement and actions in our being...

The three networks are:

1. The brain / crown Network
2. The heart / Solar Plexus Network
3. The Base Network

The roles of these brains is very specific and i found if one is unbalanced it cause an unbalanced life in that area...

1. The Brain or Crown network:
Responsible for creativity, thinking, logic, and also putting ideas in to action, its the action part of the 3 networks... it calculates and formulates, and is your direct link to bringing to light your desires, wants and needs.

2. The Heart or Solar plexus Network
This is your direct connection to yourself, to your God, its your intuition, and where all your ideas and messages are born... its your feeling part, your soul... this network needs silence to be heard or felt, but it is very accurate... this is the direct link to the Ackashic records. everything you need to know is here. this is your peaceful and knowing network.

3. Base Network
Responsible for your body, your human connection, grounding, and courage... this network is directly linked to the body, if out of balance your body will be ill... this is your link to the physical, to earth and all that is physical... this is where we also find ourselves at our most primal... people who are very highly strung will loose sight of this network. this network to me is a very important connection as we are here to learn how to master the human body, and when this is ill or out of balance everything else seems to suffer.

Once you are aware of the three brains you can start using them accordingly... instead of focusing on one part i find it so amazing to be able to hook into three different networks that all have tremendous power... if you need to take action but you have fear... you could easily hook into your heart network to feel which is your best option, relay that to your Brain network for formulation and ideas as well as action... and then send all of it down to your base network for the primal instinct, the courage and the physical execution of the task at hand...

Balance each network by being aware of all that is happening, stalk your brain, listen to your internal dialog, feel your heart, and create peace so you can connect to yourself, and create balance by accepting your physical body, watching and feeling what it needs or how it communicates... if the base network is unbalanced your body will show it... then it is time for grounding, fun and getting back to basics.

I will be doing a meditation evening on Thursday 8 August 2013 in Midrand and i will specifically concentrating on the Base network, for physical healing and balance.

Dreams and Dream interpretation

These days i come across so many people who are becoming more aware and interested in their dreams... dreams are where our conscious and our subconscious meet... its where we find all the clues of our waking life... dreams can enrich our lives tremendously as i find they hold the key and answers to our questions, challenges and also our future.

However deciphering our dreams can be a bit of a task to say the least :-) but not impossible if you know what to look for.

If dream interpretation interest you i would suggest you stay away from too literal thinking... dreams are about your feelings and how you feel in the dream, its also very important to understand that dreams are about our circumstances so in a dream all the characters are usually a representation of yourself...

The subconscious speaks in symbols and so it is also good to keep a dream journal... referring to dream interpretation books can help but is not necessary in my eyes... just writing down your dream as you wake up is key, so you can remember it, take it slow and let the story unfold... look at the pictures and unravel how you felt, study colors and characters, and apply each character as part of you...

So if you dreamed there was a burglar who broke into your house and you two get into a huge fight, the interpretation could be that you are in conflict with yourself... one side of you is the victim and one is the persecutor...

I always find it very helpful to know the colors and meanings of the chakras to explain coloring in dreams...also focus on the ending or resolution of the dream.

Take it dream for dream, reflect on all the parties involved, focus on your feelings, analyze your environment in the dream, as its a representation of your environment outside and inside while awake... get to know your symbols and also look at what the dream is showing you...water always stands for emotions, a vehicle of any kind always means a journey, and blood always represents energy...dreaming of death is always transformation, and changes...

I have found that we can have very strong Past Life Recall in our dreams as well, so dreaming of a foreign country can be a recall... or dreaming you are in another century and you look differently is all past life linked... our dreams are very interesting and can make us very aware. At the moment i find that a lot of people are having premonitions, which means they feel hear and see their future or that of others in their dreams...do not be fearful of the symbols but keep your journal and measure your accuracy.

As with all practice makes perfect, and using your gut while looking at your dreams can go a long way.

Values

I can not stress how important it is to know your own values as this is the core we all live by... when we clearly know what we live and stand for we understand ourselves just so much better...

I have found that many of us are in confusion as we don't seem to understand what we want, when we truly live our values no matter how hard it may be we are always in alignment with ourselves and our mission.

Values also very much tie in with boundaries, often we over step each other boundaries/value not intentionally but this can have major ripple effects on our relationships, so knowing your values and boundaries and expressing them clearly is the way to a happier life and healthier relationships... now not everyone accepts and understand boundary setting or values but this is how we grow.

A good example is always one of punctuality... if i have a value of punctuality and i like always being punctual on time and i expect that of my friends, if i encounter someone who does not have that value system it could lead to a problem. lets say i have a value of punctuality however my good friend does not and whenever we meet for coffee she is always late, one can imagine that after some time this over stepping of my boundary will affect me on some level, however in our society we rather let ourselves get so worked up and allow an explosion to happen than to talk about a problem before it arises... instead of getting angry and causing a fight in the friendship due to our different value systems the best way to go about setting a boundary and making known your value is in such a manner:

name the value, name the need and say thank you...so this is how i would say it:

Friend i love you very much and i enjoy our coffee however i have a very strong value of punctuality and i would really appreciative it if you are on time for our coffee, thank you for honoring and respecting this value.

This is a formal way but a good starting point to learn communication that clearly states the needs, the reason and the outcome, without conflict or drama... mostly we over step each others values and boundaries without knowing and open communication can solve many of our communication mishaps.

For the next two weeks you can download the list of values for yourself... out of the 300 odd values choose 10 primary values, and then out of those 10 choose 4 CORE values, these values are the main values you live by.

So Much Change...

Its been a while since my last Blog, and with OWT RADIO's contract coming to an end i have had more time for preparing my workshops which i am hosting all over the county over the next few month :-) this is very exciting, and i find it so amazing how much potential and power people posses if they know how to access it :-)

What i have noticed on a personal and client basis is that things are speeding up...i gave a talk yesterday at The Jacaranda Spiritual Church in Pretoria, and even receiving feedback from people there that the universe is not waiting for us anymore... we are facing challenges and emotions on a daily basis that we have to deal with and work through... sometimes some are easier than others i am sure you all know what i mean...

However i am in awe at how many people are facing these challenges with their heads held high, although there was much pain and struggle with in yesterdays congregation they came and gathered to be uplifted to face another day, and thus just taking it a day at a time... this is the only way to live... it was heart warming to be surrounded by people with such open hearts and minds.

If you like so many of us at the moment feel like you can barely keep up, i wanted to write this blog today to urge you to just keep going, do every day something that makes you happy, and face those fears and emotions, as change is constantly happening, its energy, and i do believe we are rewarded on many occasions :-)

Affirmation for the week: I ATTRACT WHAT I VIBRATE!

The world is your mirror

Todays blog may be a recap of something i have said many times before but this is a really good basic to always follow when in any type of doubt... sometimes certain people in our life will connect or irritate each other, in both cases there is a connection, recognizing  mirror... this means that you recognise something within yourself through that other person... its  something that gets brought up for you to heal, let go of or work through. Sometimes it is also appropriate to say nothing to someone when confronted with a challenging situation  until you have uncovered what it means to you or why it is bringing up certain emotion.. A very good indication where you are at is to look at your cupboards or office or environment, an uncomfortable or messy environment usually signifies a scattered mind... in my life i like to always do some self internal work before i say or take something too personal... i see people always as teachers, and although we are sometimes a bit too reactive we always have choice to act differently the next time... i live by the rule that i can only look to my self for change, no one can do that for you... and if you want something diffferent change your reactions and your patterns... and you can always only start with yourself... stop blaming or pointing a finger and to take responisbility for your own life is probably the bigggest present you can give yourself... so see everyone as a giift bringing you feedback whether positive or negative... :-) something to look at.
