True Blue Spirit Magazine Blog

Archive for December, 2009

Hello Dorothy and all of our wonderful readers.

As we head into the new year I am reminded of how grateful I feel to each and every one of you for picking up the True Blue Spirit magazine and sharing your comments with us.

I can’t begin to count how many people have thanked me for the articles or how many have said how much they have helped them in one way or another. At times I have doubts that what I am doing is really making a difference and if it weren’t for your comments and the animals gently nudging me to keep expanding and sharing I probably wouldn’t be doing what I am today. So a huge thank you to you all for who you are and what you share.

The animals around us all thank you too!

Many blessings for yet another fabulous year ahead,

Stephanie

A year is ending and I have to wonder what new adventures loom ahead in 2010. Undoubtedly there will be intuitive journeys with awesome synchronicities. I don’t want to miss a thing and the key to this happening is keeping ego at bay. That’s easy to say, but not always easy to do.

Do you have a secret you use that helps you brush off your ego and allow intuition and spirituality be the forerunners of your life? If you do, please share it with us on our blog. We would all love to know.

This will be a focus of ours in 2010, let it be yours as well.

All around the world we have a desire for spiritual growth as well as physical well being.  True Blue Spirit Magazine is at the forefront of spiritual resurgence. Whether we are working on this dimension or tapping into realms unseen, it’s all about delving

into who we are and how we can better our life here and now…and future lives too.

True Blue Spirit is a feel good magazine. It was created as a gift and nudged along by spirit, because just like you we want to

makethe world a better place and we aspire to live healthy, spiritual and intuitive lives.

We wish you all the best in 2010…may it be a year of possibility!

When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Which is exactly what the night was all about. I had no expectations, which was perfect since letting go was the theme of the evening.

Sharing laughter, tears, new beginnings and the comfortable spirit of conversation among friends.

Tonight I’m heading off to meet up with a group of a dozen or so intuitive women and embrace what spirit has to offer. Each woman is different…as we all are…and it is those differences that will make the evening a joy.

I’ll be on the look out for some amazing synchronicities as we celebrate women, friendship and new beginnings.

Our sacred circle will be generating positive energy throughout the holiday season.

It’s great to see so many visitors coming to our site. Thanks to those of you that are completing our survey!

Be sure to submit your numerology questions to Shannon.

Call them what you like, birth date numbers,  destiny  numbers or life path numbers, these can hold the key to opening information that will give you  insight to your life  and perhaps help you take a new direction on the journey. My ruling number is 8…and I’ve  always loved that  number.

Have a look at the title of our magazine, notice how I managed to integrate my  number in the title?

Speaking about the title of our magazine, True Blue Spirit, someone asked me recently to explain the blue part of the title. Blue opens the flow of communication and slows down the human metabolism to produce a calming effect. That fits in perfectly with our magazine, True – authentic, genuine, sincere, Blue – opens communication, calming, Spirit – principle of conscious life, supernatural, soul, consciousness. This really sums up what our magazine is presenting to our readers in their Pursuit of Intuitive Living!

Keep checking the website, we have more special links coming soon.

Keep well.

Question #1    – “What is my number and how do I figure it out?”

Answer ~ “The adding up of the numbers in your birthdates is pretty straightforward and here are some easy methods of how you can go about it. First convert the month to its proper number – Aug = 8, Sept = 9 May = 5 etc., and then proceed as follows:

Example: February 5 1947

Method one – add vertically:

Month =       2

Day =       5

Year = 1947

Total: = 1954

Then, add:

1

9

5

4

Total:   19

Then add 1+9 and get 10, next add 1+0 and arrive at 1.  The Life Path or Ruling number is a 1 for this birthdate.

Method two – add horizontally: (Feb = 2) – 2+5+1+9+4+7= 28.  Then add the 2 and 8 together and get 10 – Then add 1+0 and of course we end up with a number 1! *” I prefer this method as it is faster for me or perhaps I am just used to it.

All birthdate numbers that add up to 19, 28, 37, 46 etc reduce to the number ‘1’

Question # 2. “Am I a two or an eleven?”

Two

Answer ~ if your total adds up to exactly 20 then your Life Path number is a two.

Example one: November 30 1941 – (Nov =11) – 1+1+ 3 +0+1+9+4+1 = 20;

Example two: Feb. 20 1942 – (Feb = 2) – 2+2+0+1+9+4+2 = 20.

Eleven

If your numbers add up to 11, 29, 38, 47 38 etc., your number is the Master Number 11.

Example one: Nov.12, 2004 – (Nov = 11) 1+1+1+2+2+0+0+4 = 11

Example two: January 28 1998 – (Jan = 1) 1+2+8+1+9+9+8 = 38; 3+8 = 11

Question # 3. “Am I a 22 or a 4?”

Four

Answer ~ if your total adds up to 13, 31, 40, 49 etc., your number is a four as these numbers all reduce to the number four.

Example one: April 4 1967 – (April = 4) 4+4+1+9+6+7= 31; 3+1 = 4

Twenty two

If you are the Master Number 22, your numbers will total 22 exactly!

Example one: November 2, 1971 – (Nov = 2-1+1); 1+1+2+1+9+7+1 = 22

Example two: January 20, 1954 – (Jan = 1) 1+2+1+9+5+4= 22

Question # 4. “Why do you call the birth date numbers Ruling Numbers, or Life Path numbers and not Destiny Numbers or another name like some authors?”

Answer ~ “There are many different names for the same set of numbers and this can be very confusing!  The truth is many authors like to come up with their own names for the various combinations of numbers that are possible to work with. I have been predominantly writing about the birth date numbers in the True Blue Spirit magazine and I call them Ruling numbers and also refer to them as Life Path numbers so readers who are familiar with numerological terms can more easily identify with what I am writing about.

The more you read and study the more you will find that the terms I am using are the most widely used by authors in general. There are dozens of books about numerology and the reader has to go with the flow of terminology the author is presenting in order to understand his or her point of view.  Each author presents their point of view based on their own training as well as their own experiences with clients, friends and family.  The most important thing is to understand how these numbers influence our lives and how this awareness can help us grow to be better developed, happier and spiritually aware people.

Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I have a hard time keeping a secret. This especially applies when it comes to tools for developing your spirituality and intuition, and that is what the stories in True Blue Spirit magazine are all about.

Over a year ago we decided to create a magazine about spirituality and natural health. The focus of the magazine?  Pursuit of intuitive living.

So you might ask, “What exactly is the pursuit of intuitive living?”

Intuition is something we are born with; it is an innate ability that we often never tap into and we at True Blue Spirit magazine want to change that. When we learn to develop our intuition we will have the capability of “knowing” without logic or reason. Over the years we have been taught to develop our analytical mind rather than our intuitive abilities. Yet our intuition, our “gut instinct” is so much more powerful as it taps into not just our brain but the entire universe of possibilities.

True Blue Spirit, our spirituality and natural health magazine is all about sharing articles that may help you along the voyage into your intuitive. Read the stories and let your “gut instinct” tell you which path you should take; as thankfully we are all very different so our paths lead in many directions.

After you have read our magazine, we would love to hear which direction you have taken.

Keep well ~ Dorothy Jeanne
