Podcasts about So Much Love

I am forever receiving impulses, From my primitive reptilian brain. In order to grow I need to control, And direct them again and again.☉ I know you know what I'm talking about! If we look at the Anthroposophical breakdown of the hierarchies (mineral, plant, animal, human, angel, archangel, archai, seraphim and cherubim), we can see that we are the link between the animal kingdom and the angelic realms. Our evolutionary development is to transform our animal instinctive nature, through loving consciousness, into conscious awareness, love, and compassion. Hence the mantra for this week! On another note, don't you LOVE the Sabian symbol for this week??? OMG! Indeed, It's amazing how smart, tricky, and devious the EGO is when it comes to rationalizing our past behavior in order to keep us from changing. We tell ourselves stories, believe our own stories and it takes a jolt (otherwise known as trauma) to wake us up to the fact that we have been BSing ourselves for heaven knows how long and it's time to get real. So that's what 2025 is all about and particularly this week when we can have some major breakthroughs and awakenings (of a positive nature). We may well be pleasantly surprised if, and when, we succeed in breaking free and letting go of the past, that most of our limiting beliefs and stories have been just that: LIMITING. Sun conjunct Jupiter early next week will open our eyes to some new possibilities and I hope you believe enough in yourself and LIFE to take them!

Information has been so overrated,Since I was a little child,But now that I know that there's much more to life,I will spend more time in the wild. ☉Well, I went on a rant today!  Whew!  What can I say?  What I didn't even get to is that this Jupiter square Saturn aspect, the “crisis in action,” had it's first pass last August with Saturn retrograde, the second pass on Christmas with Jupiter retrograde, and now the third pass with both planets direct.  An interesting note regarding this square, which has to do with breaking free from past security structures in order to express a new, elevated version of ourselves, had the first two passes in the mutable signs of Pisces and Gemini.  This third and final pass is occurring in the cardinal signs of Aries and Cancer.  The mutable signs have more to do with listening, taking in, and changing ourselves as a result of integrating the new information, needs, desires, and impulses.  Now, having the final pass in the cardinal signs, it's time to make choices and take action particularly around surrendering our past ways, habits, and limitations in order to open ourselves to the new possibilities that will be presenting themselves through the remainder of this year and into next year.The age-old axiom for whenever Jupiter and Saturn contact each other is “limited expansion.”  It is a time of cautious, careful planning rather than plunging, risking, and just “doing it.”  It's almost like you don't want to start setting the stage for Scene Two before you've cleared the stage from Scene One!  Know what I mean?  This is more about carefully selecting the people, places, things, and activities that support the new you and retiring what doesn't (with gratitude if possible!). Meditating in deep stillness, doing ceremony, and calling upon your higher self and Spirit for guidance, you may find it necessary to let go of some cherished people, places, or activities/habits.  On the other hand, if you are unconscious of your own true nature, needs, and soul desires, you may find people, places, things, or activities leaving you or being taken away.  In either case, knowing that life is always in complete support of your evolution will help lessen any feelings of loss, betrayal, abandonment, or victim consciousness. May you find peace through this transition!Born to be Wild!  https://youtu.be/egMWlD3fLJ8?si=4GtSqs8BTXH6MFtU Book a reading with Kaypacha!  https://newparadigmastrology.com/kaypachas-readings/So Much Love,Kaypacha

Like Joseph waking up after his dream, Knowing they had to go, I'm thankful for the guidance received, And will pack up and head down that road. ☉I looked up the date for when the Sun was conjunct Pluto: January 21, with Mercury following close behind on the 29th. Seeds that were sown or root core issues brought to the surface at that time to be transformed are now returning in a new light for healing. As I mentioned in the report, expect revelations on Saturday that will lead to healing throughout the weekend and through Tuesday.Needless to say, these changes that we're going through are rippling through the entire collective conscious and unconscious. The birth pangs will be rattling our cages both internally and externally over the next 9 months. Two key messages that come to mind are, first of all, the one in the mantra "I'm thankful for the guidance received." Repeating that over to ourselves will also remind us of Spirit's presence in our lives and invite our guidance to grow louder. Secondly, more than anything else, be as gentle as possible with yourself and others during these times of transition. Try to go as slowly as possible, spend time in nature, paint, run, dance, do yoga, and whatever is helpful for your body/mind and immune system. Slowing down and caring for the nervous system will also help soothe and calm the emotions, reduce anxiety, and help sleep (so you get more dreams!). Let's all hang in there, knowing that the far distant shore will be here before we know it! Blessings on your journey!It Don't Come Easy!  https://youtu.be/UDcZxEpA9XY?si=q4aOGpqkD-h7KqCI New Music!

Life is teaching me how to dance,In a whole new different way, I need to listen and go step by step, Knowing I'll get it one day. ☉

There is a magical, mysterious, spiritual world,  Within the one I know. I hereby choose to open my heart, To the wonder and awe of it all.☉ As discussed in today's report, this new Moon in Aquarius, trine Jupiter and accompanied with a Venus, Neptune, north node conjunction signifies the possibility of consciously attaining new levels of awareness, letting go of past conditioning that has created misunderstanding, and owning our full creative power. This is not “achieved” through external action, force, or assertion but rather “experienced” within (= imperienced). When we relax and empty/open ourselves to the point of complete inner peace, there is another world within, often referred to as nirvana. When enough brothers and sisters let go of the “battle” to impose themselves on the outer world and realize that the outer world is but a reflected projection of the inner, we will truly begin to create a new paradigm starting with ourselves. Let's do it! This week's song is (of course) The Magical Mystery Tour! https://youtu.be/l8WMGBuNaus?si=cLsdI149p5Qlu9iK Just remember it's so much taking away as lighting the way within. So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

I am a keeper,  Of the New Earth flame,  Standing in truth and holding space,  In a world being swept with change.☉

There exists in many traditions,  The dark night of the soul.  A deathly, empty, void within,  Out of which true love may grow.☉

I feel a surge of primal energy,  Welling up from deep within.  If I don't use it consciously,  It could well be my end. ☉

This episode is dripping in gold you guys. Lauren joined me in talking about stepping into an alcohol free life and what that looked like for her. This judgement free zone was filled with possibility, honesty, and fun in choosing more for yourself. I love when the conversations are as divine as this, and where I leave feeling like I received SO MUCH from the conversation itself. Lauren is a well of love and wisdom and I hope you receive as much if not more from this conversation, as I did. If you want to connect with Lauren you can find her at LaurenFay on instagram! If you LOVED what you heard I would be eternally grateful if you gave the podcast a review on the platform you listened on and share with a friend so it can reach those who would benefit from this most! SO MUCH LOVE for you!Whit Join us in Spokane Washington for an epic 2 day somatic event where we will dive into the past, the stories, and every way in which you are limiting yourself from creating the most epic life!

I will explore new possibilities,  As the known and familiar fails,  Trusting that interest and curiosity,  Will put wind back in my sails. ☉ In typical Gemini fashion, by the end of the week, we have both high and light Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and the Sun together in Gemini AND a heavy, intense Mars conjunct Chiron (and north node) in Aries. They are spread apart by a few days, indicating that there will be a banquet feast once we complete the initiation! As I mentioned in the report, these four conjunctions happening this week signal the closing of four old cycles, modes of operation, attitudes, work, relationships, beliefs, etc. to "clean our plate" so to speak, in preparation for a whole new cycle to begin. In other words, it's like the sunset of one day is quickly followed by the sunrise of the next. The more clearing we can do, the more space and energy the new cycle will have to come into fruition. Erase that chalkboard! This week's song is Pachamama! https://youtu.be/UtWXjnETVWY?si=PbdbCUIVYpf5fykV Here's the link to join the NVC course starting Saturday! http://therealcenter.org/TheArtOfIntimacy.php  So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

My body is the root and trunk,  My emotions are the sap,  My feelings are the blossoms and fruit,  That I promise to not hold back. ☉ For those who crave excitement and change, this is your time! For those who prefer the safe, known and familiar, this is pretty scary. For all of us, the call is to individuate, break (or be torn) from our old conditioning (beliefs) and create our own. This can include a new path, income, relationship, career, home, body, diet, you name it. It depends on where this new Moon conjunct Uranus and Jupiter fall in your natal chart. Let's face it: Even those who crave excitement and change will feel some fear. We have to remember that Uranus is our personal unconscious and that whenever the unconscious bursts through into consciousness, there is the element of surprise, often even cataclysm. So even though it's ultimately good for you, the process of liberation can be downright frightening. This Sun/Uranus/Jupiter will last for a couple of weeks or so, but the passing presence of the Moon is only for a couple of days. Pull out your journal and write down the feelings that come up for you today. It can be very illuminating to reflect on what triggers you, excites you, and most importantly, WHY? These feelings can reveal soul desires and past karmic needs that are no longer relevant or needed for your future journey. Keep on truckin! One of my favorite songs!  https://youtu.be/DWO_eojWezg?si=SNfwPf8VdcjUKFfR  And another just for fun!  https://youtu.be/IAgbtGIWFoU?si=8HJhdViPlnueTXAA  The circle of feelings!  https://i0.wp.com/www.glenntrigg.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/emotion_wheel2_colour.png?resize=1000%2C1000&ssl=1  So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

It would be wise for me to see, Exactly what it means to be free, Before I destroy the life I am living, I need to get clear on what Spirit's wanting.☉ There's a lot going on now, much pressure for some, much excitement for others. As Jupiter approaches Uranus, our rebellious spirit that wants to break free, split the scene, and be liberated will grow stronger and stronger through March and April. This week, however, the Sun/Mercury/Saturn conjunction reminds us to look before we leap, to meditate upon and deeply consider the changes we want to make, their impact on others, not just ourselves, and the long-term consequences. It may be a sobering reality as in Pisces, it is humbling, forgiving, and listening to the “still small voice within.” This “voice” is not one of logic, rationality, or goal setting but the voice of love, Spirit, and the Eternal. It is not a “voice” so much as a feeling, an inkling, a tingle, or a dream. It may not make sense to others and be difficult to defend or justify as “Spirit works in mysterious ways.” So this week isn't as much about “freedom” as it is about having the courage to follow Spirit's call, which may fly in the face of what anybody and everybody says. “They,” may say, “who do you think you are? You can't do that! That doesn't make any sense! Did you think about this and that and that and this and this and that?? OMG!!” Perhaps the only answer is “I just know I need to -------” but once you get the message, you will know, and once you know, you'll need to go. DO IT! Sweet Momma, Lay Your Burdens Down! https://youtu.be/ganvXbwkqpU?si=gFq_399KVZJumFHM Thumbnail photo by Ken Krehbiel!

The universe is telling me that it's time to go.   Exactly where I'm headed to I still don't know.  But I trust there are no accidents and that I will be led,  So I put my one foot forward and still my spinning head. ☉ Join us in Patagonia!

The more I believe in the spiritual world, The more I see it exists, Within and between tho not always seen, Like love, it unites all that is. ☉

Both my heart and Spirit know,  That there's no intimacy found online.  So, if I want to nourish my soul,  We need to meet in real time. ☉

So Much Love.

When I get too busy creating a life, Based on visions I've had long ago, My Spirit Self has to break up the flow, In order to show me there's more. ☉ Last chance to join me in Daytona Beach next week!! https://bit.ly/kaypacha-florida-2023 Let's get ready for that full Moon in Aries the Ram! Like everything this week, including the Sabian Symbol, we're dealing with Uranian, sudden, unexpected, unconventional, rebellious acts, events, thoughts, and results. We're being shown just how much of an experiment we are, how “reality” is both subjective and objective, and how much of an unexplainable paradox life is! Get ready for the rodeo ride of your life where ANYTHING can (and probably will) happen! Are you ready to dive into the unknown and experiment with your future? To risk failure by “betting” on yourself, your ability to hang on and ride that bull to the finish? Such is Uranus in Taurus, the sign of the bull… a wild ride. The opportunity afforded us by this week's aspects is true freedom, autonomy, and sovereignty that we may never have experienced before, along with self-acceptance of ourselves as we are with a “take me or leave me” attitude that can be quite refreshing (and scary). Are you ready to up the stakes, raise the bid, and show your “outrageous self?” Just The Two Of Us. This week's song! https://youtu.be/Uw5OLnN7UvM?si=mvymQhhpzWGxbY9Z Thanks to @aaronazrael for his underwater videos

Forgiving is part of the process, Of healing when I have been hurt. But helping others to own their part, Is one thing that has to come first. ☉ Welcome to the New Moon in Virgo, the sign of healing, discrimination, analyzation, and “reality.” Mercury stationing direct in Virgo (conjunct the Moon today) and Mars in Libra says it's time for some direct, intentional dialog with our partners, loved ones, feared ones, lost ones, and any other ones that have impacted our development sometime along the way.   This may not be so easy with the Sun opposite Neptune (the planet of illusions and escapism, among other things), Mars inconjunct Jupiter (accepting that a project, goal, or association is done), and Venus square Jupiter (wanting more love than possible to get at this time). You can see how life is always teaching us in different ways how to balance assertion with listening and giving with receiving. With Virgo, it's one opportunity after another to walk our talk. We'd be lost without her. So step up and step out! So Much Love, Kaypacha https://newparadigmastrology.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠

If you're here because you're wondering how to teach boundaries to dogs, I'm here to commend you! I know it's tough. When our dogs start to show their puppy eyes, denying their requests becomes so hard. But there is power in SAYING NO. When dog owners say NO, it paves the way for better obedience training, and dogs that are calmer and easier to take care of. Additionally, dog owners who say NO are less likely to deal with aggressive, restless, stressed, and anxious dogs who don't listen. “How is that possible, Dan? Can behavior problems really start because of not saying NO?” YES. Giving NO to your dog equals you showing your leadership and boundaries. And setting those two in place can make a BIG difference to your training and relationship with your dogs. Read on to learn how to teach boundaries to dogs and why NO is one of your most powerful dog training tools. Key Takeaways: A dog that gets YES all the time will start to think that they're in charge. And when they think they're the leader, behavior problems such as barking, aggression, and disobedience come up. Saying NO does not need to come with a heavy, angry energy. Using a calm energy while saying NO can communicate that your answer still comes from a place of love. You need to say NO to your dogs because it is one of the most powerful ways to show dogs that you're in charge, you're the leader of the pack. SET BOUNDARIES WITH YOUR DOGS THE RIGHT WAY WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™️ Table of Contents: Why Set Boundaries With Dogs? My Experience with Spoiled Dogs How to Teach Boundaries: The Power of NO in Dog Psychology How to Teach Dog Boundaries By Saying NO Why No is an Expression of Love and a Powerful Way of Teaching Dogs Boundaries Dog Calming Code: The Program That Will Help You Set Boundaries… With Love   Why Set Boundaries With Dogs? My Experience with Spoiled Dogs Here's what I've learned in my years of working with dogs: some of the hardest dogs to train are the ones that receive SO MUCH LOVE.   Disclaimer: showering our dogs in love is not inherently bad. However, when great love comes with zero boundaries and no rules, it becomes a problem. Dogs who are constantly given EVERYTHING they demand become a big problem to the owners that adore them. I've seen this firsthand. Some would come up to me asking “Dan, we've given our dog everything! What could be the problem?” THE DOG CALMING CODE: THE ONLINE PROGRAM THAT HELP YOU RAISE BETTER BEHAVED DOGS What Saying “YES” to Every Request (AKA Spoiling Your Dog) Does To Them Here's the problem: if your dog is acting up, not listening, and still charging around despite asking them to behave, you might check if you have a spoiled dog. Ask these questions… Am I saying yes to my dog's requests all the time? Am I letting my dog run the show and make the decisions? Do I treat disobedience with leniency instead of really setting the rules? If you said YES to any of these questions, you could be dealing with a spoiled dog. Spoiled dogs are just like spoiled kids: they are defiant, they are hard to control, and it's a challenge to get them to respect authority and boundaries. Some may say “Oh, they're just acting up because that's part of their personality.” But the bottomline is this: because your dog sees you respond to every bark, every request for treats, every nudge for snuggles, your dog feels they are in charge—they can get whatever they want, WHENEVER! Giving a YES can be tempting, but in the long run, letting dogs have everything they want can have serious consequences. BE THE LEADER IN YOUR DOG'S EYES WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Consequence #1: Dogs In Charge Have Zero Downtime. They're Constantly on High Alert Constantly saying YES to your dog's demands has their mind going… “Aha! They said yes to my requests. They gave me treats when asked for some. I peed on the floor and I didn't get a timeout! I barked and we walked! They gave me everything! Looks like I am the new leader here now.” You'll see the signs once the leadership hat switches from your head to theirs—they'll be more defiant, they'll invade your space more demanding attention. Sleeping is also difficult for dogs who think they're in charge. Even if they do lie down, they sleep lightly…making them even more anxious. Because all the time they're tightly focused on ensuring the safety of you and the property. Their system is perpetually stressed from all the guarding and protecting, leaving them exhausted, worried and more prone to health issues. Consequence #2: They're the Leader, They Find No Reason to Listen to You Dogs are masterminds. Their seemingly safe, sweet cues can actually be their way of checking if you're the leader they can trust and rely on. And if you give in, you lose that leadership in your dog's eyes. When your dog starts to perceive themselves as the leader, they may not see any reason to listen to your commands. They'll ignore your requests, become disobedient, or refuse to follow basic training cues. This makes it difficult to manage and control your dog, leading to frustration for both you and your pet. BRING BACK THE CALM TO YOUR DOGS WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Effect #3: It's Like a Go Signal That They Can Do Anything They Want Saying "YES" to every request without setting boundaries or rules can give your dog the impression that they can do anything they want without consequences. They may engage in destructive behavior, such as chewing furniture or digging in the garden, because they haven't learned appropriate limits. Your dog might not understand the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, which can lead to confusion and chaos in your household. How to Teach Boundaries: The Power of NO in Dog Psychology Here's a quick scenario that can help you understand why NO should be an integral part of dog training. Between a teacher who lets everything pass every single time, and one who gently but firmly reinforces the rules, who would you follow when they say “Please pay attention to me.” I bet you would also say the latter. And there's good reason, right? They set clear rules, they firmly stick to it, and they have clear expectations that you follow them. They are in charge of the class, and they don't allow anyone to freely challenge her rules. It's the same when you try to teach boundaries to dogs. Through The Lens of Dog Psychology: Why NO is Powerful Setting boundaries with our dogs starts by saying NO. Why? Because for dogs to calm down, to behave, and to be more obedient, they have to know YOU are the Alpha who sets the rules in place for safety and survival. If you're familiar with Doggy Dan's Five Golden Rules, you'll know the way to make a dog switch off and calm down is to show them you're the pack leader, the ultimate decision maker. You make all the decisions. Your word is final. You are in charge of setting the rules and expectations. And the best way to show them you're in charge, and that they don't call the shots is BY SAYING NO. LEARN MORE ABOUT DOGGY DAN'S FIVE GOLDEN RULES WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE How to Teach Dog Boundaries By Saying NO #1: Understand That You Can Say No with Love Most dog owners hesitate to say No to their dogs because they associate the word with disappointment, anger, and exasperation. Truth is, you can say NO in the most gentle, proactive way. For dogs, it's all about your energy. Instead of saying (or shouting!) “No! You can't do that!” You can embrace calmness while saying to your dog “No, I won't allow that. I don't think it's a good idea.” Using a gentle tone communicates love despite denying your dog something they want. SET YOUR RULES WITH LOVE. LEARN HOW WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE #2: You Set the Rules, Not Your Dog Unfortunately, some dogs live in a household with zero rules, so the dog gets creative and makes these themselves. And because they are now the rule maker, they demonstrate behavior like this: There's barking, resisting training, or just filling the home with hyperactive and reactive energy. The best remedy to this is by stepping up and setting the rules for your dog. Be very clear with your rules and make a commitment to stick to it. #3: You're The Leader. Your NO is NO. "No" isn't just a word; it's a powerful signal of leadership. You are the captain of the ship, the head honcho, and your dog needs to recognize that. To be an effective leader, your top priority is to be firm but gentle. When you say "No," it's not about anger or frustration — it's about clarity and consistency. aYour dog needs to understand that your "No" means business. It's a way of communicating boundaries, and it should be delivered with confidence, firmness, assurance, and love. #4: Show That You're In Charge of EVERYTHING… This will Help Your Dog Switch Off Think of it this way: you're the CEO of your dog's world. Every aspect of their life, from mealtime to playtime, is under your control. Demonstrating that you're in charge of everything helps your dog switch off from the constant decision-making. When your dog sees you as the ultimate authority figure, they can relax and trust you to make the right choices. It's like a weight off their shoulders, allowing them to be at ease and simply enjoy being a cherished member of your pack. THE DOG CALMING CODE: THE ONLINE PROGRAM THAT TRANSFORMED 88,000 DOGS! Why No is an Expression of Love and a Powerful Way of Teaching Dogs Boundaries Reason #1: Taking Charge and Setting Boundaries Help Dogs FINALLY Switch Off I've had the privilege of working in a doggy daycare where I was in charge of 30 humongous dogs! But what's amazing about these dogs is their absolutely chill nature. They're so relaxed, so calm, so happy… you can tell they've finally switched off. And I can confidently say it's because the daycare set rules and boundaries which they FIRMLY encouraged the dogs to follow and respect. The dogs that were once running all over the place, leaping onto caretakers, and barking nonstop at strangers and other dogs, finally lounged and slept most of the day without any hint of stress in their body! Reason #2: Boundaries and Rules Help Us Choose What's Best For Our Dogs Just like raising kids, we'll be in big trouble if we let them do whatever they like. If permitted, kids will choose to stay up until 2 AM with ice cream and sweet cereals. A combination laden with sugar and processed chemicals! We can all agree it's TERRIBLE for kids. But dogs are just like that, too! When we let them do whatever they want, I'm sure they won't always make the best choices. Given the chance, they'll be pulling you down the street, choosing to play with their food, frolicking all over the furniture and making your bed their bed, too! Through setting boundaries and rules, taking control, and showing your dog that you're a leader they can trust forever, you can make sure that every choice made for your dog is f0r their best. IMPROVE DOG BEHAVIOR WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Dog Calming Code: The Program That Will Help You Set Boundaries… With Love The art of saying NO, really taking charge and owning leadership in your dog's eyes can all be found in my bestselling program, the Dog Calming Code™️. If you've been doing all you can, and you still struggle with setting rules and boundaries, my online program can help you! If you're ready to change your dog's behavior from CRAZY to CALM, you can check out the Dog Calming Code. Because truly, what better gift can we give to our dog than giving them a NO for their own good? If you want to learn about the Dog Calming Code, click here. ~ Doggy Dan

“Jazz was the first music that I ever heard. It was introduced to me by my Dad who always played jazz around the house. He regularly sat me down and told me to listen closely to the music, that jazz was life.” Her beloved father passed away when she was 11. “The last time I saw him, he was at the hospital, had me driven in, and he told me that he wanted me to promise him something. He wanted me to promise him that I would sing jazz after I became a woman. Years passed, life went on, and I became involved in performing and recording r&b. But when I was completing the second CD in 2013, I kept on thinking about my last conversation with my Dad. It was as if he was reminding me about my promise. I decided that I would see if I had what it took to sing jazz.” Douye' has since worked very hard at finding her own place in the jazz world. Rather than doing it halfway or merely copying the great jazz singers of the past, she was determined to study hard, learn a countless number of songs, and sing jazz in her own way. She paid close attention to the reactions of the audience and the musicians when she appeared at jazz jams at the World Stage in Los Angeles. “If I did not sound any good, they would certainly tell me! I gained the courage to give it a real try after getting some confirmation from the jazz crowd that I could do this.” Daddy Said So features Douye' singing a set of classic jazz standards. Her voice is attractive, warm, and quietly emotional, has a solid sense of swing, and she clearly has a deep understanding of the lyrics. It is an awe-inspiring jazz debut for the up-and-coming singer. Rather than utilize the same group of musicians on each selection, a wide variety of brilliant jazz artists make memorable appearances throughout the release. Douye' originally made demos of the songs that she planned to record, sent them to many of her favorite musicians, and happily discovered that every artist was interested in being on her project. Douye' recorded “Nature Boy” as a duet with the immortal bassist Ron Carter. “It was funny. He suggested that we meet for the session at 11. I said, ‘Alright but I would be there at 10:30.' Ron Carter replied that he would make it by 10:30 too. I arrived at the studio at 10:17 and he was already there! I think we were finished with ‘Nature Boy' before 11.” “Mood Indigo” and “I Loves You Porgy” were recorded with veteran pianist Kenny Barron's trio. “But Beautiful” and “All The Things You Are” feature a talented Nigerian tenor-saxophonist Zem Audu and pianist Benito Gonzalez. Douye' originally recorded “Lush Life” and “Sophisticated Lady” as duets with her friend the late pianist Joel Scott. Later, tasteful bass and drum parts were added but Douye' kept Scott's beautiful accompaniment intact. “Round Midnight” and “In A Sentimental Mood” was performed with pianist-arranger John Beasley and a few of Los Angeles' top jazz players (saxophonist Bob Sheppard, bassist John Clayton, and drummer Roy McCurdy). Check out Douye's deep-toned vocal on “' Round Midnight” and Beasley's emulation of Duke Ellington's piano playing on “In A Sentimental Mood” from Duke's famous collaboration with John Coltrane. Every performance has its special moments. The great guitarist Russell Malone not only arranged “Body And Soul” but organized a group that included trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and drummer Willie Jones III. “Autumn Leaves” (arranged by Angelo Metz as was “Besame Mucho”)) and “Someone To Watch Over Me” (arranged by Phil Small and produced by Metz) find Douye' joined by the Kim Richmond Orchestra while the warm tenor-sax of Justo Almario co-stars on “Besame Mucho.” Also included on Daddy Said So is a very spirited rendition of “Summertime” that was recorded in New York with a band of young Cuban Americans led by drummer-arranger Zack O'Farrill (the 21-year-old son of Arturo O'Farrill). “I'm so grateful,” says Douye'. “While it took time to coordinate everyone's schedules, each session came together very quickly. It was so enjoyable that it confirmed my decision to sing jazz.” Douye' was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and regularly spent her summers in England. She was in a church choir in Africa when she was quite young and often sang along with recordings from her father's record collection. Douye also wrote poems and songs as she grew up. Early on she knew that singing was going to be her lifelong love. In her pursuit of singing, she moved to Los Angeles to attend the Musicians Institute as a vocal major. While attending school, she met songwriter Terry Shaddick who had composed the giant hit “Physical” for Olivia-Newton John. Shaddick and Douye' soon formed a musical partnership, writing all of the fresh new music for her first two albums Journey and So Much Love. During this era, Douye' performed classic r&b inspired by Anita Baker, Sam Cooke, Sade, Regina Belle, Rachelle Ferrell, and other major soul singers. In this episode, Douye shares her background, education, and musical journey.

Whether I am in the doldrums,  Or having an absolute blast, I stay more centered and keep my balance,  By knowing this too shall pass. ☉ Let's face it, we're going through some topsy-turvy times with some extreme (Sun conjunct Uranus and eclipses) ups and extreme downs, surprises, or upsets. As I spoke of last week, the Tao reminds us that we create "stories" to explain our reality and that these Mercurial, egocentric stories are not "the reality." These stories come from our past conditioning, subconscious memories, wounds, and limited ego awareness. Uranus shatters these stories and offers us the possibility of liberation. This last total lunar eclipse opposite the Sun conjunct Uranus (exact on the 9th) illuminated, perhaps shockingly, new awareness. Even without touching personal points in your natal chart, you would still be exposed to others and global events destabilizing the current reality. The trick now is to let go of the upset, the old story, allow change, and accept a new reality by creating a new, positive story while remembering that it is just that: a story.  This brings us to Mercury stationing direct, Venus trine Saturn, Mars trine Neptune and Jupiter entering Taurus! Lo and behold, I doubt anything is as bad as we perhaps thought it was, especially when we turn to Gaia's beauty, wonder, simplicity, and natural elegance. As I mentioned in the report, there will be a noticeable shift in the energy beginning next week, so let's bring it on, knowing that it, too, will change!

Diving down from cosmic realms, Into the waters below, I swim through the fear and chaos there, Then surface, get out, and go. ☉ Move it, move it, move it! Ever gone cliff diving? If you have, you will know that the longer you stand on the cliff and look down at how far it is to the water, the harder it is to dive! Like stage fright, when it's your turn to enter the stage from behind the curtains, our psyches go through a process of gaining the courage to go. Some do, and some don't. The cusp of a sign is similar to a cliff, a threshold, or an edge. So when we have the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Pluto all change signs, cross thresholds, or leap off cliffs within such a short period of time, we are all facing an unknown future coming at us like the water once you dive.  It's natural to feel fear when faced with uncertainty and chaos. It's courageous, powerful, and sublime to rise above it, and it's glorious to succeed despite it. As I discuss in this report, it is trust that gives us the strength and a love of life that helps us build the trust that, in turn, will help us succeed. This is an excellent week to go for it! Try a little "Waterfall" for this week's song! https://youtu.be/43npxOdVmhk The Lunar Planner for this new Moon in Aries! http://bit.ly/40Boliz Let's get together live! https://bit.ly/kaypacha-events  So Much Love, Kaypacha https://newparadigmastrology.com/⁠ Sign up for my weekly newsletter to receive my Astro reports and uncensored insights: ⁠http://bit.ly/npanewsletter⁠

Jake Kokot is a true embodiment of a Soul doing the work in this human experience, a representative of Conscious Masculine Leadership, and an exquisite force of humanity contributing to the cultivation of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. This episode is Soul-touching and will undoubtedly leave you with some tangible takeaways to contribute to your own growth and healing. Some topics Jake and I discuss include: ✧

Not all illusions are delusions, But windows into what may be, A future so nice, with sugar and spice, Prepared and ready for me. ☉ As mentioned in the report, there are forces at work here on planet earth attempting to hijack the potential destiny of the human race and diminish from spiritual awakening down to computer-driven zombies. It, therefore, becomes our task, not so much to openly "fight" these hostile forces but to maintain our spiritual practices, identity, and purpose. While it may seem hard to believe, the attempt to rob us of our spiritual heritage and future realization is well underway. Many covert plans are currently underway behind the scenes so as to be rolled out with the next "emergency/crisis." This is not the first time in human history that religious/spiritual beliefs have been attacked as they give each of us so much power and support. As we stand united in our beliefs, ideals, values, and practices and call upon Spirit guidance, we are energized, inspired, and sovereign, which makes us harder to control and exploit. Let's make no mistake about it, love is the most potent force in the universe, more powerful than intelligence and especially artificial intelligence. We will not be fooled, downtrodden, or coerced into abandoning our true nature in favor of some virtual, manufactured reality. Let's call this month the "Month of Spirit" and take out extra special time from our daily routines and schedules to connect with our higher selves and hearts and naturally strengthen our magnetic fields. So whether you hit the mountains, the lakes, the streams, or the ocean herself, dip yourself in the waters of Spirit and rejoice in the beauty of life in your beautiful body here on beautiful Gaia!

Feeling unsupported, alone, and unworthy of receiving what you need can bring up some of your deepest wounds and triggers, such as past experiences with rejection and abandonment. Not only are these difficult feelings to navigate, but they keep us stuck and unable to trust others, which leads us to staying closed off and unable to experience anything new. I know that you are worthy of love and support, and I know this because this is something I have struggled with and am working through myself. I know how much false beliefs and old experiences can trick us into believing we aren't worthy and we can never let our guard down, but I promise you, YOU ARE WORTHY and you deserve SO MUCH LOVE. In this episode, I will cover how we become a person who felt they had to do everything on their own. I cover how to heal the feelings this brings up in us. I guide you through a deeply healing and spiritual exercise that will help you to start feeling loved and supported right now. And then I will cover some different ways to release old, limiting beliefs and stories and bring in new ones. All of this will help you to change the patterns in your life, to let in new and SUPPORTIVE people, and to start feeling you deserve to have your very real needs met and acknowledged. This is a personal episode for me, and I get into a recent experience I had that left me feeling completely abandoned and rejected by everyone I knew. It was a tough thing to go through, and everything I talk about in this episode comes from my own experience navigating and healing these feelings. I sincerely hope what I've learned helps you also! *** Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditate_with_melissa *** Empowering Visualizations (​Experience the Power of Self-Hypnosis and Quantum Shifting): https://www.melissa-field.com/empowering-visualizations---powerful-self-hypnosis.html *** My meditation and visualization membership (only $5 / month!): https://www.melissa-field.com/healing.html *** I'm now on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@meditate_with_melissa *** Thank you so much for listening!

I'm not going to just hang around, And play in my own little world, But stand up, speak out, and participate, So my heart and soul are heard. ☉ These are the fast-forward, crazy days I was predicting, as all the planets are now in direct motion. While many are wrapping up and resolving what was initiated months ago, soon they will move into new territory (degrees). This reflects a time wherein it behooves us to finish up, close, and complete the past in preparation to venture forward into new territory. It's like packing up your bags in preparation for your next journey. However, life is not waiting for you to finish up, pack up, and complete all your business before throwing some new business your way! This is the chaos you may feel now as the future calls you forward, and you've yet to complete the past. It's best to hang in there, set your priorities, and trust. Knowing that life has your back, and the universe supports you will help you relax, not make mistakes, and move forward confidently. Part of what is coming and what is going is LOVE!! Venus in Pisces calls us forward to live our dreams, and Mars in Gemini is scrambling to make them all happen. This is a time when the seeds of love that have been sown will begin to blossom. Like the mantra says, I encourage you to step out of your ruts, out of your own little personal world, branch out, connect, and enjoy! Stand up, speak your truth, and watch the magic happen. Here's one for your sweetheart! https://youtu.be/Q9C2i_Z2ETA

This week we feature a group of musicians—Johnny and Jeanette Williams and Jay Shelton, from Virginia, who have recently released a new album under the band name Shelton & Williams.  The album is titled "So Much Time, So Much Love" and after getting some background information from Johnny, Jeanette, and Jay, we talk with them about each track of the recording and you will hear three cuts from the album.

My left brain is essential, It's the key to my success. Negotiating, engineering, designing and thinking, Hold the answers I need for the test. If there's one thing the stars tell us this week, it is to LEARN SOMETHING! Get out there, stimulate your imagination through study and contemplation, sharing and planning, and make your dreams come true. This Mars sextile Jupiter is saying that it's time to elaborate on the seed ideas birthed at their conjunction last May 29th. Check back for any new people, plans, or visions you had at that time and develop them further. For more insight into where to focus your energy now, you want to look at the house where the Jupiter/Mars conjunction occurred last May. Where do 3 degrees of Aries fall in your chart? Jupiter is still nearby and will be returning to that degree next January. The seeds that were planted last May and that you are now developing will bear their fruit then. Be a good farmer, and you will have a good harvest! Doing this week's report on Chalice Hill, I can't help but share Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's Jerusalem for this week's song. It's taken directly from William Blake's poem (1808), inspired by the legends of Glastonbury! https://youtu.be/T25jOOrXvsE On another note, I'm sorry to say goodbye to Scott Huckabay's closing music that I have used for many years. Though he is a friend of mine and said I could use his music long ago, I have been continually getting copyright strikes from YouTube from the music publishers. It's been such a hassle proving I have permission over and over and over again that I've given up. Ugh! So Much Love, Kaypacha https://newparadigmastrology.com/ I share a lot more in my weekly newsletters.

The oneness of creation, Now lives in separation, My task is unification, Through joyful recreation. Yes, there is plenty to moan and groan about! In so many ways, the world looks pretty grim. We are surrounded by dark images and bad news day after day. While there is so much "wrong" with the world, there are a number of different opinions, beliefs, and strategies put forth on the best way to deal with it. I have spoken of the evolutionary stages many times, and more info on these can be found on my website. But for now, let it suffice for me to say that there is no one right way or thing to do, but according to your disposition, the best regular attitude and action is what I have suggested here in the Pele Report. "The best way to fight evil is to make progress toward the good," says the I Ching. What we want to do now is flood the airwaves, soundwaves, ocean waves, and all waves with beautiful, joyful, graceful, thankful, and soulful ART. We lift the vibration and heal the wound, not by focusing on the problem as much as the solution - UNITY consciousness. Try it. You'll like it!

I'm loving my physical body, It's my temple while here on earth. I'm gonna clean it and cleanse it and move it and shake it, And enjoy it for all its worth. I went into the world situation in last week's report, and though there is much more to say, we still find ourselves in these bodies, in this house, car, or on this trail, in the here and now. The focus of this week's astrology being Aries, Taurus, and Gemini is very much about the internal experience of pleasure and fulfillment through simply being alive. Let's do it! While the Sun is transiting Gemini with Mercury following close behind, the emphasis could be on “mindfulness,” of which plenty of information is available. However, the north node/Uranus in Taurus is asking us to not just make it about the mind but to quiet ourselves even more, go deeper, stiller, down to the cellular with our consciousness (as differing from thought). So let's sink ourselves into ourselves, feel the heaviness, the solidity, and relax every muscle enjoying the beauty of ourselves and our world. Find your place in the Sun and RELAX amidst the madness! Join me in Lake Tahoe for a Solstice Celebration! https://bit.ly/kaypacha-tahoe-2022 The first song for this week is a mix of Taurus and Gemini! https://youtu.be/ZC7zj6fxt-U Secondly, Let's keep it simple with Simple Man! https://youtu.be/rgFQ6WmxdMs Thumbnail art: Daniel B.

I can be a victim, Overwhelmed and wanting out, Or summon forth my warrior, And triumph over doubt. So that's it! The warrior goes forth regardless of the fear of death, loss, and the fear of failure. The pilot doing the nosedive, the lover expressing their love, the mother giving birth. All these involve not denying our fear, not ignoring our fear, not pretending or suppressing our fear, but carrying our fear right with us on our journey forward! Mars has a Moon, Phobia, constantly orbiting the red planet. Our fear is always there. Some fear is healthy in that it keeps us alive. Fear is rooted in the ego's fear of death as it is the ego's job to keep our body alive so we can evolve through this 3D physical time/space reality. It gives us adrenaline shots to keep us present, alert, strong, and ready. It's only when it becomes the dominating factor in our decision-making that it goes beyond its usefulness and turns negative. So we have to walk the line. In some ways, fear is the opposite of love. The line is that middle ground between the two, between self-preservation and connection, isolation and co-dependence, between too many boundaries and no boundaries. Once again, we end up coming back to the wise words of Buddha: "All things in moderation." May you walk the line with beauty, grace, and style! This week's pick? All Along the Watchtower! https://youtu.be/OzlN0Guvous

I am a spiritual being living in an animal body, This evokes both love and fear. As I fully accept and embrace this truth, I can enjoy all the things I hold dear. These days we are shedding our skins like snakes, emerging out of the underworld of Scorpio. We are fields being plowed by the hand of Spirit in preparation for the seeds of a new beginning. Do not despair as what once was is gone, the person, the song, or the dream. Listen to Snatam Kaur's "Song of Your Heart" below and know that you are your song. This is a time of repeating the mantra "I am enough, I have enough, I know enough, I love enough, life is enough." As we stand like Spartans, strong within ourselves, looking through our glass bottom boats and discovering more gems, gold, and beauty inside, we feel better, complete, and alive. That feeling permeates our soul, and our magnetic field lights up, energizes, blazes, and attracts a future worthy of our brilliance. Look not behind but ahead. Lastly, your health is your greatest wealth. As you come into yourself, your body, hug it, love it, nourish it. Eat only the best foods, drink only the best drinks, stretch it, move it, feel it, enjoy it. Embrace your body as your "humanness" and rejoice in being human, at this time, in this place, despite all madness and chaos, you're breathing, and life is grand! See you on the other side. This week's first song is John Prine's Spanish Pipedream https://youtu.be/NWOoiMtevdY Secondly, Snatam Kaur's "Song of Your Heart" https://youtu.be/U6lrI_vf-1A Come join me in Corfu! https://bit.ly/kaypacha-greece-2022

Living in harmony with nature, I instinctively go with the flow. Winning or losing, coming or going, It's just more for me to know. For simplicity's sake, I often refer to the 12 signs of the zodiac in terms of 6 different axes. The Aries Libra axis is the identity/relationship axis, Taurus/Scorpio is the survival/sex/power axis, and square to that is the Leo/Aquarius axis I call the creativity axis. Having Saturn in Aquarius squaring the total, lunar, full Moon eclipse on the Taurus/Scorpio axis is another signature saying that it is time for us to individuate and re-create ourselves and our lives not in the image of anyone else but ourSelf. As structure and form, Saturn in Aquarius is telling us to reform and restructure a new future Self, a new future society, a new future government, and a new future planet. These eclipses are telling us that in order to do so, we all need to simplify, connect to our primal, simple selves, become more self-sufficient, and go back to nature. I'm all for it, and I hope you are too. Trust that wild, instinctive, animal self and integrate it rather than suppress it into your Spirit Self. Blessings on your journey!

Most often I am guided By Spirit whispers in my ear, But with every touch, taste, smell and feel, I sense and know She's near. So yup, with this weekend's solar eclipse, we can expect the unexpected in a real big way! Many of these changes will upset our everyday rhythms and routines, plans, and dreams in various ways. Eclipses are the universe's way of injecting the future into the present, and since Uranus is the planet of the future and it is conjunct with this eclipse, we may well get a glimpse of what the future is going to be like NOW! The realm of AI, the WWW, Cryptocurrency, banking, food supplies, supply chains, basically all aspects of the economy, including inflation, are set to be triggered by this eclipse. Taurus, plain and simple, rules the physical survival of our physical bodies on this physical planet, so everything material/physical is up for a cosmic "upgrade," and that includes us. Let's remember that Life, Nature, and Divine Intelligence are on our side! Uranus constantly reminds us that we need to liberate, revolt, or rebel from the status quo, innovate, and reinvent ourselves to be all that we can be at any given moment. There's no laying around, waiting, hoping, or wishing with Uranus. We need to INDIVIDUATE, find what is unique and special and different about us that the world needs and go about delivering it... NOW. May all your "Ah hah!" moments lead to enlightened actions! The song I was thinking of is "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas! https://youtu.be/tH2w6Oxx0kQ Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon: https://youtu.be/bPLWBhNW3FM PS. Oops! Booboo! Pluto is in Aquarius for 20, not 40 years... what was I thinkin'!! So Much Love, Kaypacha https://newparadigmastrology.com/

Within the vast ocean of potential, All exists from love to hate, I now choose to focus upon, That which leads to heaven's gate. I forgot to mention the metaphor that came to me for the energy this weekend as Mercury conjuncts the north node. Let's make ourselves painters! Life is the blank, white canvas. Our feelings are the colors on the palette, and our thoughts take those feelings and apply them to our life, as thick or thin, as much or as little, wherever we freely choose. This painting takes a lifetime to complete! Perhaps the only difference is that we can erase or remove the paint on our artwork, but in life, we cannot undo the actions that have resulted from our thoughts, feelings, and will forces. We can paint over them, deepen or lighten them, but they become a permanent part of the akashic record of our soul. As such, they fall into the 12th house of Pisces, which is also called the "house of karma." We could also go a step farther and say that all of everyone's life paintings together form a collage we could call "the collective unconscious," another attribute of the Piscean 12th house. I wonder what that collage looks like now? I wonder what it looked like 2000 years ago or what it will look like 2000 years from now? One thing is for sure. It will look more light, beautiful, balanced, colorful, and harmonious the more we focus our thoughts and feelings on gratitude, joy, forgiveness, compassion, and love. May the painting of your life this week and beyond be amazing! This week's song is a must listen! Nahko Bear's "Black as Night" https://youtu.be/lkGBLLjAXEA

Regardless of the state of the world, I'm getting myself together. Forgiving, forgetting, and starting anew, I raise the bar ever higher. Mars at the end of Aquarius (along with ol' Saturn, of course) wants to raise that bar and raise that bar and raise that bar even higher! Then, today and tomorrow, the Moon in Virgo wants to work out, buff up, and make the grade. And lastly, the Sun in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn wants to win the gold medal. So there is a lot of competition, desire, and challenge that can lead to conflict but can also lead to everyone involved becoming better pole vaulters! If approached from the perspective of the Sabian symbol for this full Moon, one of "transcendent realization," this Libra full Moon can bump our relationships up to a new level of conscious communication and union. However, left to our unconscious will forces that wish to continue getting our own way, these same relationships could topple down, knocking the bar down, and fall into conflict. This is where the courage to stay, listen, breathe, receive, and reply will make the difference between a win and a loss. There is a lot at stake with Pluto squaring from Capricorn, who is calling each and every one of us to stand tall in integrity and honesty while playing fair though being tempted to use any means possible to get our way. This is, again, the difference between Bob Marley's Rastaman "high, positive vibration" and the low.

I have the strength and the power, To create the life I now see, For as a disciple of Spirit Love, My path is laid out for me. We can look at this Mars/Saturn conjunction in two ways. The first is if you are not your own authority, can't handle responsibility, and let other people decide things for you. In that case, you will feel put upon, shoved around, blocked, stopped, and limited these days. The second is if you are your own authority and have “owned” your Saturn need for form, structure, and duty to society and the future. In this case, you will hunker down, roll up your sleeves, deal with the bureaucracy, stay calm, cool, and collected, and get your business done. Boom! Then you'll want to sit back, relax, and let go as you allow Jupiter/Neptune to take you away on a magic carpet into other dimensional realms. If you're a number 2 up above, it's cool, you deserve it, and you know not to get wasted. But, on the other hand, if you're a number 1, chances are you are angry at somebody and just want to “get the hell out” and may overdose on substances as you seek to escape from the nasty perpetrators out there destroying your life. Lastly, then, but really through it all, you'll have the new Moon on the wounded warrior. You'll want to take special care of yourself, nurture yourself, feel good about yourself, speak your needs, assert your wants, and go for what you desire without guilt, shame, or remorse. The wizened healer will also consider others' wants and desires and find win-win solutions where everyone is happy. The disempowered, self-pitying victim with this wound will feel further disabled and incapable of ever getting what they want. From these examples, we can see that it is up to us to master ourselves like the bear with its paws up, thereby mastering our lives. Go for it! I've got three songs to capture the feeling of the three different conjunctions/energies hitting us at the same time this week (note: the Jupiter/Neptune is my fav, and I didn't mention it in the report!).

Spirit and matter are woven together, Just like life and death, One I can touch, taste, smell and see, The other is Love, health, and breath. You may be feeling those Scorpio blues, and that's alright. It's better than “alright,” it IS. You are, I am, we all are, HUMAN. And as humans, we feel and have a right to feel, and some of those feelings don't always feel good, but it's good to feel them anyway. Honor them, and feel the blessing of being alive to them cuz they are what makes you alive. Sometimes other people, groups, institutions, bosses, family, or governments don't wanna hear about your feelings (like when the Moon and Saturn gang up in Aquarius in square to Mercury and Mars this week). That's when you may need to CAREfront (or CONfront) them with the reality that feelings need to be felt for health. To the same degree that these feelings are suppressed or denied this week, they will equally explode next week when Mars opposes Uranus. These are days of revelation when your feelings will reveal to you just who you are and what you're made of, where you want to be and go and who you really want to go there with. These are valuable insights, blowups, “Aha!” moments not to be taken lightly. So don't let these days pass by without heeding the call of your wild.
