The Moon is Void of Course today (July 31) at 10:47 AM (Eastern) until July 31 at 12:09 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Virgo.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 31) at 10:47 AM (Eastern) until July 31 at 12:09 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Virgo. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

Virgo is very detailed oriented and is the sign that is the most critical and judgmental. But Virgos are also very helpful and very intelligent, so utilize this energy wisely.

It is a wonderful time for making lists and organizing things. It’s an especially good time for cleaning anything out. Clear your home of anything no longer needed or useful, clean your mind of any thoughts or beliefs that are no longer serving you and clean your body so that it feels the way you want it to feel. Virgo rules the intestines, so it’s a wonderful time for cleansing.

It is a good time to really look at and reflect on the details of your life. It is not a good time to discuss your performance or merits in your job or in a relationship, as people will tend to be more critical during this time. This is a time when you will feel more of a desire to help other people and other people will feel a desire to help you. What a win-win!

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make.  I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

Many blessings,

Bali Roommate Needed

Our next trip to incredible, mystical Bali is Sept. 6-19.

Is Bali calling you? If so, please take advantage of this offer because one of our travelers wants a roommate (female) for the trip which will save you the cost of the Single Supplement. Could that be you?

This is such a fabulous, delicious, luxurious trip:

•Visit sacred temples (Mother Temple, Goa Lawah, Tirtaganga, Tanah Lot)
•Do sessions with the amazing Balian healers
•Meet and receive a blessing by Ketut Liyer (from “Eat, Pray, Love”)
•Unbelievably delicious bodywork and massage
•Staying in the most fabulous hotel I’ve ever stayed in (the Komaneka Bisma in Ubud)
•Meditations, ceremonies and yoga
•Experience the arts of Bali – dance, mask making, jewelry making, etc.

Have you received the Free Report we’ve done – “Mystical Bali – Island of the Gods”? It’s all about Bali, the people, the amazing spirituality, the Balians (healers). Click Here to download your copy. But be careful — it might just give you an overwhelming urge to go on the trip!

Don’t worry about traveling alone, because you’re not! You’re traveling with other like minded seekers and usually within 48 hours our groups are in love with each other and making friendships that last a lifetime. I was just on the phone this week with a woman (shout out to Victoria!), who went on our Bali trip in 2009. She’s now been to Sedona to do an adventure two more times and is probably going to come again in September. She and I have become great friends. Three other women from that trip decided to go to Egypt the following year. Then, on the Egypt trip, those three bonded with four more and they all went with me to Peru in 2012! That’s how people come together on our trips. One of the women then moved to Sedona and met a man in yoga class and got married! I love how all these things come together.

But I digress… the Bali trip is fabulous and if you’re dreaming about going, here’s your chance to have a significant discount on the pricing.

Leo is the lion and during this time we will feel strong and confident. We will have a desire to feel beautiful and to be perceived as beautiful. Our inner child is connected with the Leo Moon, so it is a wonderful time to love ourselves a little more deeply.

This is a time when creativity will really flow, so do everything you can to nurture that. A wonderful time not only for creative pursuits, but creative thinking. Leo (and the Sun) always want to be the center of attention, so resist the misconception that “everything revolves around you”.  It’s a wonderful time for parties and celebrations. Be especially careful of your heart and spine at this time.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 25) at 9:53 AM (Eastern) until July 26 at 10:55 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Cancer.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 25) at 9:53 AM (Eastern) until July 26 at 10:55 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Cancer. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

Cancer has to do with emotions and our homes and our families. The Moon’s home base is Cancer, so the Moon feels the most at home here. When the Moon is in Cancer it is a time of deep emotions. It’s a time when we can connect with people on a deeper level, especially with our families. It is a time when we yearn for peace and serenity. It is not a good time for change, as we will resist any kind of change during this period and we will be more attune with things that are familiar (notice that the root of the word “family” is “familiar”).

Anything you would want to do around the home now would be favored, especially making your home a more comfortable place. Also anything having to do with helping your family or nurturing your family is very beneficial. Family get-togethers can be very harmonious during this time, especially if “neediness” is not involved. People can tend to be a little more secretive and moody during this time and also overly-protective. This can be a very healing time and a wonderful time to really connect with  our deepest desires and what it is that drives us. Be very careful during this time about your stomach, gall bladder, and lymphatic system. Avoid over-eating, especially “comfort” foods. Give your family a big hug and tell them you love them.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make.  I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 23) at 8:53 PM (Eastern) until July 23 at 10:59 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Gemini.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 23) at 8:53 PM (Eastern) until July 23 at 10:59 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Gemini. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

Gemini is the symbol of the Twin, so during this time you (and everyone else) will see both sides of everything. This can be good in some situations, but it can lead to indecision and people changing their minds for seemingly no reason.

Gemini is the most intellectual and mental of the signs, so it is a good time for writing and communication. Also a good time to do research (but remember, don’t make any decisions right now based on your research). Also a very favorable time for negotiating. Because things can be so changeable, it is also a good time for people being flexible. An excellent time to take a short trip.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life.

Best Egypt trip yet! Feb. 16-Mar 1

I’m so excited to announce what I believe will be the best Egypt trip yet!

February 16 – March 1, 2015

This will be my 14th trip to Egypt! Can you believe it? And every year it’s new.

Why should you decide to go NOW?

•I believe this may be the last year where we will be able to see the places without the huge crowds of tourists that used to be there. Europeans are starting to come back and the United States has lifted its travel advisory to Egypt, so this means more people will start to go back. To be able to go to the Pyramids and Sphinx and not be shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of tourists is absolutely incredible. I’ve been to Egypt 3 times since the revolution (the last one was just this past February) and (in my opinion) they’ve been the best trips ever. [See the testimonials below from people on the Feb. 2014 talking about how safe they felt on the trip].

•This is just such a fabulous trip. We go to all the must see places:
     -The Great Pyramid (including 2 hours of private time just for our group for ceremony)
    -The Sphinx
    -Karnak
    -Luxor
    -Abu Simbel
    -Cairo Museum (to see the complete King Tut exhibit and all the other treasures)

  And we go to places that the average tourist doesn’t go to:
    -Isis Temple at Philae
    -Hathor Temple at Dendera
    -Horus Temple at Edfu
    -Kom Ombo (dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and Horus)
    
•We do a 5 day cruise down the Nile (stopping at temples along the way) and our 5 star (plus) cruise ship is one of the most beautiful ships on the Nile and the service and food are incredible.

•The price is ALL INCLUSIVE – it includes round trip air New York (JFK) to Cairo, 3 flights within Egypt, 5 star hotels, 5 star – 5 day cruise down the Nile, 3 meals each day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), all transportation, admission to all the sites, our Egyptian guide (who reads hieroglyphics!), even your tips and travel insurance. You will only be paying for your drinks and your shopping.

•And speaking of shopping, the exchange rate now is almost unbelievable ($7 US dollars to 1 Egyptian pound – the lowest has been 3:1). This will make the incredible shopping even more incredible.

•Everything is completely handled for you. All the transportation, hotels, food, all the entrance fees, all the planning. After 10 years of leading groups to Egypt (and over 30 years of going there myself), this trip is perfect!

•The political climate is steady right now, but within another year that could change again. You just never know.

•If there’s any possibility of you going now, your life may not allow you to go next year or the year after. Stuff happens, things change, if the opportunity is there, go for it.
 
•I’m pretty sure the price will go up next year. We haven’t increased the price of the trip for the past 3 years. Even though this year the price of the Nile cruise ship went up by 15% and the cost of a visa to Egypt was raised for the first time in over 20 years from $15 to $25. This signals that the country of Egypt knows that tourism is about to really increase again. So I’m pretty positive we will have to raise prices next year. And the price will still be amazing for all that you receive – but take advantage of these prices now.

If not now, WHEN? So many people have said to me over the past 10 years, “Someday, I want to go to Egypt with you”. Guess what? None of those people have ever gone. It’s the ones who say “I’m GOING to Egypt with you” who go. And the ones who say, “I’m not sure how I’m going to do it, but I’m going to make the Egypt trip happen.”

So the question is, if you are really drawn to Egypt, if there is a part of you that knows that one of the things you must do in this lifetime is go to Egypt, then I will say to you again – IF NOT NOW – WHEN? What are you waiting for? If you told yourself last year (or for the past 5 years) that you really wanted to go to Egypt, has anything changed? Things don’t happen until we finally draw a line in the sand and say “I’m going”. Is Egypt on your bucket list? How much closer are you to kicking the bucket?

•Egypt is an incredible place where transformations happen. The energy of Egypt is absolutely astounding. The ceremonies and meditations we do (especially during our 2 hours of private time inside the Great Pyramid) are beyond belief. Some of the most amazing spiritual experiences I have had over the past 30 years have taken place in Egypt.

•Traveling with like-minded soul adventurers adds a whole new level to these journeys. And don’t worry if you don’t have someone to travel with — our groups typically fall in love with each other within 48 hours and make friendships for life.

So many people ask me if it’s safe to go to Egypt. As I said, the US has lifted their travel advisory (if you like, go to: http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/alertswarnings.html and type in Egypt). There are no longer any advisories. This will be my 14th trip to Egypt. I have been there 3 times since the revolution and those trips (in my opinion) have been the best. The Egyptian people are some of the warmest, friendliest people you will ever meet and they love Americans. In the words of one of our travelers from the trip this past February:

“I had the most wonderful time on my trip to Egypt with Debra in February, 2014. It was delightful and there were no crowds. We saw everything and took our time. I never felt unsafe for one minute. Please don’t let fear keep you from one of the most exciting adventures in your life. You will never regret your trip.”

P.S. Here’s more from people who went on our Egypt trip in February:
“I went to Egypt with Sedona Soul Adventures in February 2014, and it was such a treat to visit all those incredible temples with no crowds! Everything was provided for, and everything was seamless. We had an Egyptologist with us to describe the history and point out amazing hidden details. Our logistics guide (whose house is right across the street from the Sphinx!) had every detail taken care of, which enabled us to relax and enjoy the experience without having to spend valuable time (not to mention the stress) navigating to find this or that. And we got to perform ceremonies in certain temples because there was no one else around! It was absolutely the trip of a lifetime, made all the more posh and convenient because of the political timing, ironically!”
Elizabeth Stevens-Pande
“I have traveled twice to Egypt with Debra, Mohammed and Rafaat–this year and last [2013 and 2014]. The trip is simply amazing! There are so many wonderful things to see and absorb, and the crowds are small so you are really able to do this. The details are so well planned that everything ran very smoothly both times. At no time did I ever feel like it was dangerous for me to be there–and if I had I would have complete confidence in Guardian Travel’s ability to handle whatever might have come up. Go for it–you will be so glad you did!”
Betty Ann Dean
“I went to Egypt with Debra in February, 2014 and had an amazing time. The trip was safe, relaxing, educational, exciting and uplifting. I feel blessed to have been able to travel with such a friendly and caring group of people.”
Barbara Munster
“As I reflect on the amazing, life shifting energy of our Egypt trip last February, I have never experienced such a high energy, high harmony, high synchronistic group, ever. This was my third trip to pyramids and the most extraordinary. Debra’s insight, organization and amazing spirit led a tour de force thru the Egyptian sands. GO TO EGYPT. I love you Debra.”

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 21) at 10:12 AM (Eastern) until July 21 at 12:36 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Taurus.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 21) at 10:12 AM (Eastern) until July 21 at 12:36 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Taurus. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

Taurus is the bull and although this is a time when people can be very stubborn, it is also a time when we are attracted to calm and comfort., especially in our homes and our surroundings. This is a time when we tend toward the familiar and any kind of drama (especially with family members)  will be especially unwelcome.

This is a time when we yearn for and crave serenity and peace more than at any other time. It is also a time when we will feel more patient. Money and financial aspects are highlighted now, although when the Moon is Void of Course we may feel a need to possess things or possess other people. Be especially careful of your head or eyes. It’s not a good time to go to the dentist. Also, be very mindful of your ears and throat and your thyroid.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make.  I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 16) at 8:57 PM (Eastern) until July 17 at 12:07 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Pisces.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 16) at 8:57 PM (Eastern) until July 17 at 12:07 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Pisces. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

When the Moon is in Pisces, it is an incredible time for deep spirituality, deep emotions and deep intuition. You will feel very sensitive during this time and it’s important to not allow those emotions and sensitivities to tip into despair, as you can utilize this time to your advantage by going within.

By doing so, you can receive incredible insights as the past and present seem to merge together. Your imagination and dreams will be very strong during this time. If you find yourself leaning towards negative thoughts during this time, stay away from alcohol or drugs, as this time fuels the energy of addiction. On the other hand, it can be an incredibly creative time, especially for poetry, music, painting, etc. If you do work or activities that require concentration, be extra careful. The risk of fungal diseases is higher now; avoid surgery of the feet.This is one of the most mystical times – so take good advantage of that.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 14) at 3:23 PM (Eastern) until July 14 at 10:40 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aquarius.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 14) at 3:23 PM (Eastern) until July 14 at 10:40 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aquarius. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.

When the Moon is in Aquarius, you will feel an interest in new things, far out things. There is a sense of emotional detachment during this time. There is more of a focus on ideas and intellectual pursuits than on emotional connection. You may feel a bit more blunt during this period and other people may be more blunt with you. This could actually cause tenseness in your relationships, so be aware of that. For most people during this time, friends become more important than family. More focus might be placed on people in general as opposed to individuals (social consciousness).

This is a good time for people working with technology, with electricity and electronics and other types of science. New and original (even unconventional) ideas can best be fostered during this time. This is a very good time to do things to strengthen your cardio-vascular system. Be careful with your joints, veins and eyes. Be careful when handling electrical appliances. This is an excellent time for meeting with groups or in clubs and a wonderful time to contemplate (but not decide on) a new adventure in your life.

And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

5 Minutes to a Great Day

I’ve always been a big morning person and the way I start the day has always been important to me, but in the past few months I’ve modified it and perfected it just enough that it has made a huge difference in my life.

It is so completely true that “getting up on the wrong side of the bed” pretty much assures that you will have a day that isn’t wonderful. And wouldn’t it be terrific to start things out so that you are greatly increasing your chances of have a wonderful fabulous day?

Do this for 30 days and you will have a tremendous increase in:

• your energy
• your happiness level
• the way you interact with others

For everything that I’m mentioning, if you do it for 5 minutes the results will be amazing. The important thing to remember is that your goal is to wake up and stay happy as long as you can. Doing these 3 things will really help.

When you wake up, don’t stay in bed and think about things or worry about things or start trying to “figure things out”. Either go back to sleep (if you can) or decide you are waking up. Then:
1.    Pause for just a moment and think of 3 things that you are truly grateful for. Think of them and visualize them in your mind. It might be your partner (or something about your partner), your dog, your home, something about your body. It just needs to be true that you are grateful for it. Don’t make anything up.
2.    As you get up, have at least 8 oz. of water next to your bed. Drink the water and as you drink, say to yourself “I’m having a wonderful day”, “I’m having a wonderful day”, “I’m having a wonderful day”
3.    Tap the karate chop point of your left hand (that fleshy part on the side of your hand, down from your pinky finger, where you would hit if you were doing a karate chop) with the 4 fingers of your right hand and repeat 3 times: “I deeply and profoundly love, accept and respect myself just the way I am”. If you are lying next to someone, say it silently. If you can – say it out loud.

That’s it! You can do that in less than 5 minutes.

And what a difference it makes in the way you feel. You literally can carry that feeling with you for the rest of the day.

Do this for 21 days and you will be amazed at what will happen. Click here and let me know what’s happening – I’d love to hear from you.

If you’re finding that this isn’t enough to make for a great day, maybe it’s time to do something deeper. Maybe your situation needs more help than that, and I understand – I’ve been there. If that’s the case, maybe you need to come to Sedona and do a Sedona Soul Adventure. When you call us, you’ll speak with one of our Angel Guides and they’ll custom design a retreat that will transform your life.

Call us toll free at 1-877-204-3664 (US and Canada) or Click Here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. For our friends outside the US and Canada call 001 928-204-5988 to speak to one of our Angel Guides or click here and we’ll call you.

If you know of someone who would enjoy this, feel free to Forward it to them. And if you’d like to comment on this, I’d love to hear from you – CLICK HERE.
