In this episode Julie speaks of the particular richness of her favorite month of the year and shares thoughts around the theme of devotion. The fall sun may shine bright in the mountains of Malibu, but the winter sun holds the power of rejuvenation all over the world as Julie expands into her choice to celebrate the new year in September and October - a natural calling that rolls into the mysticism of Scorpio. She speaks of the divine goddess Durga (part of the Vedic lineage) and of the joy and reverence of stringing garlands for ourselves. Plus there's a story of the day the tigers came to tea! In visceral contrast to what’s happening in the news right now, Julie muses on how can we receive ourselves in reverence during this juicy, sacred month. How can we truly feel that we are a divine being? And how can we use the mantra This, or Something Better... "If you are open to devotion and always leaving room for something greater, blessings will arrive in the darkness. "We all have the ability to directly connect to source, to the one breath that is breathing all life. Inherent within us is the blueprint for everything we need to actualize our most heroic probability." "Remember to honor yourself, to be grateful to your life and not to miss it because you are too attached to the headlines." Be connected to your true heart resonance."
