Capricorn –
I’m getting into a groove as January rocks on. And things seem to be okay.
This Para kit cleanse system I am utilizing I can only hope (at this point) is doing the job I hired it to do! Eradicate the H. Pylori!! Or at least – weaken and knock-it-back. H.P. is a tough-nut to crack so… just doing the things to make the terrain (my gut) a not so fun place for it to reside is half the battle.
What’s different from a parasite cleanse to working on this H.P. critter is that you can’t ‘see’ if you are eliminating the H.P. in real time. Parasites/worms, etc… usually give-up-the-ghost in broad daylight, if ya know what I mean. When passing a threadworm, for example, you’re going to see it in the toilet! This H.P…. you’re not. It’s a bacterium, not a worm-um! LOL!
Along with this protocol is the elimination diet approach in my eating. This has been going fine as well. I gave up my biggest offenders right out of the gate. No gluten/wheat/breads and that whole family (like grains, in general); removed the dairy, all dairy to start. I actually can have goat/sheep dairy (not cow) but I just wanted to remove it all as I got going in the first weeks.
I really thought this was going to be a tough one – it wasn’t as tough as I thought. Because my diet has been super simple, hardly any ingredients honestly, and I’m not obsessing on foods ‘I can’t have’ (which can be a ‘diet doomsday’ mentality). I’m focusing on eradicating H.P., calming the inflammation factors and not consuming the things that my body doesn’t actually like.
The other eliminated foods for me currently are: tomatoes, onions, garlic, peas/chickpeas, and flaxseed. There are a few others on my list… but they aren’t as annoying to my body as these guys, apparently. I will practice elimination on the other annoyers later.☺
And because I am already in this mode and mind-set of what not to eat – I am throwing in the concept/suggestions and guidelines of the blood type diet. This has me re-visiting the eating for your blood type foods list. It’s been about 20 years since I had introduced this into my life and dabbled with the diet.
I learned a few things from it, picked up a couple ‘don’t eat this’s’ that stuck with me (and I don’t); as well as a few ‘these are beneficial’s’ (and I still do). But along the way of learning about this particular dietary approach, I was learning about my digestion-health and body ‘architype’ as a whole. General structure and build, genetics and environment. Before ‘epigenetics’ was even a term so loosely used as it is today. This was all cutting edge in the late 90’s/Y2K.
This was around the time I was done birthing children, my body felt ‘broken’, I was seeking answers; and over-all health just wasn’t what people were discussing. On my bread-crumb trail of self-discovery – cleaning up ones diet was the most simplest action steps you can be doing to start feeling better, functioning better.
So, the blood type diet information was helping bring awareness to the other foods I was consuming that just aren’t good… for anyone actually! Like sodas and wine… LOL! That whole ‘…a glass of wine for your health…’ absolute BS garbage! The problem with that, people will be thinking – if one is good… two is better! And before you know it – you’re liver is gone and you can’t figure out why you always feel like crap. But I digress…
I’ll be the first to admit that I spent my 20’s living on autopilot – for a LOT of things! Diet and my over-all health and wellness, in hindsight, was a small bubble-of-information I had. I also spent most of my 20’s either pregnant, nursing, or trying to recover from those; so exhausted and burnt-out that it took me until my early 30’s to snap and wake myself up out of the fog – figure out why I felt like I was dying – and truly take things more serious.
Thus, the roller coaster ride of ups and downs of the ‘health industry’ world, fitness, wellness, nutrition, fad-diets and on and on was first, the cliff that I walked off of; and then second, later wised-up to see sumthin’ ain’t right here. The hamster wheel can be a real-thing! And back then… getting stuck on some sort of cycle was 'easier'; information to educate ones self was truly worked-for! You could only go so deep because there was no world wide web of which one could access like we can now. I was in libraries, pouring through books, journals, magazines… all the literature I could find!
There was no mindlessly following the carrot of the algorithm… and ‘because you like this – we think you’ll like this…’ Nope. It was pure dedication of reading, cross referencing, discernment, and critical thinking; along with various discussions through/with other people with the same interest - that took you to other books, authors, and topics/interests.
No one was feeding you info (now days we just call them ‘ads’) that you didn’t need or want. It was you and your consciousness, thoughts, feelings and emotions. It was you – and your body having intuitive discussions. Hitting the library to hangout and ‘scroll’ – truly was the internet! It’s interesting to see how with the modern ‘searching’ it can derail you quite frequently, and it’s all by design.
Library hangouts… pure gold! Ahhh, the good ole days! They will be missed… or – they are missed! I do still hit the library, but it’s more often the digital library as opposed to the physical brick-and-mortar. Convenience, right? Don’t get me wrong, I do love the ease and quickness of a fast intro-nets search. But I still cross reference info, take in different perspectives from various sources, and still question everything. Which will always keep taking one deeper, farther, and the ability to gain a more expansive understanding; as well as seeing ‘it’ from both sides!
This is one of the aspects about the inner-nets that I have found fascinating – you really can go and learn about both sides, in ‘real time’, and develop that bigger-picture understanding of what’s really going on here…??? And more often than not – both sides have their truth(s), ‘facts’, and both sides have their stories through their perception and perspective! It’s interesting. Maybe it’s just me - that I can be in a more neutral state of mind, where it boils down to: observation/neutrality and taking a look at things for what they are. Even for my-Self! My own, personal, Self! The polarity that is us.
So, on that note – of observation – this is where I am with my current-now-Self. My here-n-now protocol, diet switch-ups and removals, TLC-ing my body and taking notes. I’ll be in this for a minimum of a few dedicated months; finishing out this solar zodiacal cycle with purging, clearing, cleaning up!

It’s Cap season –
Capricorn rules: skin, hair, knees, joints, skeletal system. Boy, if this ain’t me right now – I don’t know what is! I don’t know if I even need to elaborate, or if I should – because that in itself could be a few pages of writing! LOL! To sum things up – this is one of my ‘hot topics’ with Self since entering menopause for sure! And as I work through my current project Me, of my back and spine, this is a strongly resonating time.
The spine is our hara line, central line, and makes up our over-all core. Our central vertical energetic channel. For many years I have known and been working on corrections for myself in this area. When we have a part (or parts) in some aspect of disarray within our physical vessel – it affects our energy flow. Mine happens to be one of the big ones… the actual spine, my structure, part and parcel to/with the hara.
I know I have some sticky-wickets within my back/spine – from the physical to the energetic, my aura/lightbody. I work and process the many layers I’ve got going on there. Awareness, recognition, and the desire to gain understanding and clarity sets the intention for the healing. And over this past last decade – I have been receiving understanding with clarity that goes many lifetimes deep! Galactic-cosmic deep!
Regaining, collecting, gathering to embody, integrate and assimilate the many levels and layers of our multidimensional Selves is truly a full time job! And I wouldn’t call this a ‘job’… it’s ‘career’ works! Our body of work, for/to/through our Self and Selves, is what we are here to be doing! Multifaceted and vast – it’s difficult to be compartmentalizing the aspects of ones’ Self once there is understanding of how infinite we truly are!
If I go off on a creative adventure that seems to come out of nowhere - yet feels intuitively fun and exciting all while not really having a clue as to what I am doing; I do it, or investigate it further, and see where it takes me! These are those ‘glimmers’ of other Selves coming ‘in’, coming through, basically. We’re here to integrate (and also to transmute).
I feel this about my writing. I don’t necessarily seek out and have this passion or strong drive to be writing… but yet, I do. I enjoy writing, it has a therapeutic vibration about it, for me. There’s definite healing work going on – through my soul and monadic layers. I enjoy putting my thoughts and feelings down on paper. I do love to journal, I like keeping notes... and writing a million little notes; I’ll go though a pad of post-its pretty fast! ☺ Ten years ago – this wasn’t Me. Sure, I liked to journal but writing-writing…?? No. Not really.
The natural law during Capricorn is the Law of Cycles. I feel this because it’s progression! Hence, my creative expression(s), for example, as I continue on my spiritual growth path. If you are working on yourself and wanting to become a better human – you’ll be organically living this flow. Growth and evolution of ones Self comes in cycles: challenges/opportunities, experiencing/learning, growth… progression! This can really be observed currently as the global awakening is happening and so many are trying to get through their dark-night’s. Challenge accepted should be on everyone’s docket!

As for my thoracic adventure still in hot pursuit… I’m hanging out with my T10 right now. T10 is in relation to the kidneys; some of the affects can be obviously any kidney troubles but also chronic fatigue issues. The fatigue… well, that’s me in a nut-shell as of late. I’ve been working on this aspect – and began my chronic fatigue healing adventures 2+ years ago. It was more than just the fatigue that was going on - the menopause aspects and can't exclude the ascension-symptoms that will always be varied and 'random'! ☺ Things have greatly improved and I intend to keep improving!!
Kidneys are vitality and have their own cycles, as well as harmonizing with other organs. Cycles within cycles, right? Recognizing the kidney cycles (according to TCM), as a woman/female, and connections to/with reproduction and relationship with the blood-flows can bring a better understanding to the deeper relationship/connections within the Self, our bodies.
The kidney's primary function is storing and controlling 'essence', or jing. Jing is the essence of qi and the basis for body matter and functional activities. There are two types of jing, congenital, prenatal jing and acquired or postnatal jing, which are stored in the kidney and known as kidney jing. Unlike qi, jing circulates in long cycles (seven years for females and eight years for males) governing developmental stages. The function of jing is to promote growth, development and reproduction, provide the basis for kidney qi, produce marrow, and provide the basis for jing, qi and shen (mind). The ancient book Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen claimed that essence stored in the kidney was vital for human life, health and longevity.
Congenital jing comes from the parents and determines basic constitution; it cannot be altered, but it can be positively influenced by acquired jing. Acquired jing is produced from digestion of food and water by the spleen and stomach, and respiration through the air that we breathe and stored and in the kidney to be used by circulating within the body. Congenital and acquired jing have a promoting/controlling/transformational relationship with each other, through their interaction jing is produced; all three play a part in determining growth and development, sexual maturation, reproduction, recovery and aging.
Every new jing cycle prompts a new cycle of development. For example, congenital jing exists from conception, carrying on from the jing of the parents. Once a child is born, acquired jing is responsible for replenishing congenital jing and starting the first independent jing cycle which, for the next seven years in girls and eight years in boys, will control growth and development. When the child loses its baby teeth, its body begins the pre-adolescence cycle. The next jing cycle is adolescence, when kidney jing matures and causes the ren meridian to open and flow. At this time, part of the kidney jing transforms into tian gui, which develops and maintains reproductive function. In the next stage physical growth finishes, and eventually declining jing leads to exhaustion of tian gui, thus extinguishing reproductive ability. Inevitably, decline of jing leads to old age, sickness and eventually death.
Exhaustion of tian gui - sounds like menopause to me! LOL! Funny-not-funny… because it’s true.
But seriously, through these 7 year cycles of the kidneys – it is bringing me to my now cycle of closure on another 7-year-kidney cycle; I’m in menopause and on my ascension path – it’s an interesting time, for sure! It brings the awareness that fatigue, or chronic fatigue, is more than just blaming it on EBV. Yes, that is a factor in my life but it’s not the ‘only reason why’. I know this. EBV is the physicality of the energetic ‘drain’.
All of the four kidney energy aspects are essential in growth and development. These four aspects include kidney jing (essence), kidney yin (water), kidney yang (fire) and kidney qi. All of the body's functions rely on the heat provided by kidney qi and the gate of life (the space between the left and right kidneys).
Kidney jing is the foundation of the yin and yang of all the body's organs. Kidney yin and yang are the primordial yin and yang, and the root of yin and yang to the zang organs. Kidney yin moistens and nourishes, while kidney yang provides warmth and promotes organs and tissue. Kidney yang is the dynamic force necessary to start the system of balancing water metabolism, which also employs the spleen, lung, liver and san jiao (triple burner).
The kidneys are where we need to be giving attention to energetically, not just physically. They are part of our twin-flame dynamic – kidneys ignite with the heart. A beautiful summation of coming on-line with our higher-self explained at energetic synthesis; ascension glossary ‘Kidneys’ page:
When our heart is healed, there is a fire that is ignited inside the heart that is accessed and the fire in the heart is also in the Kidneys. There is a triangle that connects the heart into the kidneys, in our Lightbody. The kidneys are in the base of the triangle from left to right and the point of the triangle is in the heart. When the heart is healed, there is a twin flame ignition in our heart and kidneys, which shifts the heart configuration. Twin flames = structure of light within the heart. So two flames ignite in the heart. The Monad is the greater flame and the physical body is the lesser flame. When this flame is ignited, there is an ignition in the heart and a fire or vital essence that comes in to the kidneys.
Yup… there is a LOT going on here!
And I am thankful for the continual progression through the cycles (energetic/spiritual), my own cycles (body/mind), and the eternal propelling forward momentum!
