August 16th

We are in a time like no other. What looks like crisis driven transitions are in fact a massive awakening to the next level of our evolution: personally and globally we are all going through LifeQuakes.
Dr. Toni Galardi

What an amazing time this is and just since the lunar eclipse in July that affects the U.S. chart has so much happened. We’ve had earthquakes in Idaho and North Carolina. Derechos in Iowa destroyed 40% of the corn crop. Extreme heat waves in both southern and northern California causing fires. Blackouts in New York lasting a few days. Mother Nature is truly getting our attention, no? We are being called to develop true grit.
When The LifeQuake Phenomenon was published 10 years ago, I interviewed one of the pioneers of the Human Potential Movement: Barbara Marx Hubbard. As she was describing conscious evolution, she shared an experience that was a great metaphor so appropriate to our times.

Barbara had 5 children before she became a professional writer and author and while in labor with her first child, she said to the the doctor, ” If I didn’t know I was having a baby, I would swear I was dying.” She shared this to describe the process of giving birth to yourself as analogous to the process of conscious evolution; that we must die to an old self to give birth not just to ourselves, but to a new humanity.

Recently, a client shared with me that she felt like she was dying ( and not pregnant) and went so far as to update her will despite being healthy otherwise, in her mid 50s. In a high level executive position, she had outgrown her job and wanted out but was afraid of stepping into the unknown.When I was interviewed in January by Dr Sue Morter on her program The Healing Matrix on the Gaia TV network, hundreds of people reached out with similar stories and their advent of health issues and addictions resurfacing, confirmed for me the immense impact that not being aligned with your true purpose has on the immune system.

Case in point: my first career coaching client that went down with Covid 19 reached out to me two weeks before she succumbed sharing how miserable she was at her job. Here is a person who lives alone, works alone from home and in her 30’s. She believed she got it from the unmasked person who delivered her meals daily. The impact on the immune system from feeling stuck in your job and low oxytocin from living alone can be enormous, but joining an online tribe for support as we move into Fall and Winter can help exponentially.

I am giving a global activation on Wednesday evening, August 19th at 5:00 PM PDT. I am offering non-membership readers an opportunity to check out these live events this week only. We have a nice tribe assembled through the membership site already who are receiving from me my astrology tips weekly. Please come join us even if it is for this one time offer. The power to exact change both within yourself and in the world from the powerful quantum field we build during these activations cannot even be measured. And it is why I do two in each event.

Here is one sharing I received after our last event:

Experiencing little LifeQuake miracles since the last call makes me even more excited about the next one. I’m seeing my intentions gradually fall into place in unexpected ways through being guided to people and information that can help me. In the guided meditation from a previous call where you had us see the flame in the cave, I saw myself expanding huge above and surrounding the cave. Also, the meditation where we brought in another version of ourselves has encouraged me that the “other” Jeannette already knows how to use all the information I’m being given. I’m grateful for the sense of peace and confidence this brings me.Blessings to you and your work!

Besides the activations, I will also be sharing some powerful information on what all the American Presidents charts since 1988 have in common and what it means for us. I actually studied the charts of all 10 of the Oval office leaders dating back to 1963.

Astrology Tips For the Month:

We are in the waning days of the moon. The new moon arrives at 10:45 PM EDT, Tuesday evening, August 18th. There is a very unusual pattern to this new moon. Setting intentions on it can be especially effective with all the planets aspecting it in the way they are aspecting it this month. If your desire is strong, this moon can manifest it quickly.

We have no void moons during the work week of August 17-24. On Tuesday, August 18th, however, mercury goes void of its course for 20 hours until 6:00 PM wednesday evening. Anything to do with contracts or writing assignments should wait to be finalized until wednesday evening.

I am giving East coast people a break this month and putting the void moon dates in EDT.

Please subtract 3 hours if you are in PDT. Two hours for MDT.

Thursday, August 27, 8:00 am EDT – 1:37 pm EDT is the next void moon in Capricorn

August 29 from 3:31 pm -8:37 pm the moon is void in Aquarius EDT

September 3rd EDT 10:34 am – 4:22 pm the moon is void in Aries

September 8 8:47 am – 5:28 pm in Gemini EDT

September 13 8:05 am – 11:32 am in LeoSeptember 15 – 11:09 am – 2:37 pm in Virgo

The planet Mars is slowing down and in its own sign of Aries. Mars rules our sex drive and our drive in general. In retrograde, it can dampen our testosterone. When it retrogrades after Labor Day on Wednesday, September 9th expect to see policies put into place that restrict moving out into the world a whole lot until November 13th, yes, after election day. I expect there will be delays around who gets elected and an unleashing of fierce energy by mid November. We also have the last of the historic line up of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn coming in November too. In future newsletters I will share in depth about this and the solar eclipse in early December and its influence on our president’s chart.

One last note, frustrations can mount under a Mars retrograde so use the time to work with your shadow on what angers you. Fuel it into a cause you believe in that you can support… from your home.

If you want to keep receiving this guidance for the weekly forecast, plus the activation and other tools from my book, I invite you to join for $25 a month, or $20 a month if paid annually.

Just a reminder, I will continue the free version of the newsletter for those not in the membership tribe, only once a month. Until we connect again, my wish for you is that all your challenges bring deep expansion to your heart. Tutto Bene!

With much love and affection,

America’s Change Management Phobia

Why do we fear change? Freud once defined neurosis as an unconscious conflict between two opposing forces. The American people want change from our government and, yet, the biggest fear in the majority of citizens is the fear of change in their own lives.

Well, people want change management to be out there. They want the government to fix our economy, provide a cure for pandemics, and rebuild the education system. However, what we also know is that to exact a tipping point of real change in America and across the world is for every human being to live sustainably: eat between 1800-2000 calories, get in 30 min of exercise, and spend at least 15 min a day feeding your inner spirit.

When we demand of ourselves that which we expect of the “powers at be” who run our country, we have a chance to change the world exponentially. But giving up old habits, addictions, and just plain fear of the unknown is not an easy task for most people. We are being called to work with our fears not just one day at a time, but one moment at a time.

As 2020 progresses and the media touts the statistics on how many people are unemployed and sick ,with messages that induce fear for the future, it does not inspire the individual to do their part.

So, the real change comes in having the courage to speak out for a different reality in the face of the collective neurosis and speak it daily. If you work with your own emotions and clear out the anxiety rather than self medicate, then and only then can you meet the call to action everyone is talking about. When you take on your own fears and make changes in your own life, you not only liberate yourself; the whole world is freed.

In 1990 I developed a pioneering, evolutionary body, mind and spirit change technology called The LifeQuake Resilience Method for helping people transform the fear of change, discover and create the life they have always wanted and then become an agent for positive change in the world. It resulted in a book called The LifeQuake Phenomenon in 2010. In 2020, I published the tenth anniversary of that book that is an updated, expanded version of that book called, The LifeQuake Miracle: Awakening to Your True Purpose in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval. In it, I share the new neuroscience of change mastery and the stories of people I interviewed who had been through LifeQuakes and emerged with a new life purpose.

I invite you to share with me some changes you want to make that can change the world. We can do this one person at a time… drtoni@drtonigalardi.com

Discovering Your True Purpose in Tough Economic Times

Dr. Toni Dr. Toni's Five Minute Tips 29

“Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”

Napoleon Hill

The topic of this week’s five minute tips is “Vision”.

In the best of times, many people find it difficult to aspire to a life that means risking whatever financial security they have. In the past year, as we are facing this “economic contraction”, people have become even less available to their deepest dreams as they focus on their health.

Not surprisingly, this has led to the skyrocketing of addictive habits to numb the boredom, discontent, or anxiety attacks that are triggered from staying in a life that one has outgrown.

When we have come to the end of a cycle in our lives and we don’t look within for how to create the new chapter, crisis hits to force us into reconstruction. Although LifeQuakes often take this form, they dont have to. The birthing pains of entering crisis driven transitions ( aka LifeQuakes) are eased by actually using the emotions of a cycle closing to discover your dream destiny. Here is one technique you can do before getting out of bed for just five minutes.

With your eyes closed, set an intention that you will notice throughout the day, activities you engage in, people you meet, anything you read or observe that interests you. Experience yourself noting it and then writing it in your journal, note app or if you have a landline and are at home, call your cell phone and record the observation. At the end of the day, before going to sleep, scan the day and note the intensity of what you found of interest ranging from mild interest to excitement or inspiration. Keep these observations in a notebook or on your computer and do this every day that you are able for three weeks.

At the end of three weeks, you will have compiled enough experiences that elicited the opposite of discontent and other fear based emotions. Now, spend five minutes a day holding the intention for a new blueprint of your life that contains these feelings. You don’t have to know what the new chapter is meant to look like. The beginning of creating the life of your dreams is at the feeling level, so use the material from your life now that evokes joy naturally without food, alcohol, or other addictive distractions.

The Subtle Beginning of Transition: How LifeQuakes Are Born

Dr. Toni News 0

In the opening chapter of The LifeQuake Miracle: Awakening to Your True Purpose in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval, I wanted to share with you,the reader how sociological and environmental crises occurring on a grand scale are directly linked to your personal psychological, health, and career crises, and are in fact, catalysts prompting each of us to evolve in our own lives and as a global family. In describing our collective chaos in evolutionary terms, the reader is reassured that they are being pushed toward greater crisis resilience and adaptation to accelerated change.

The concept of a “LifeQuake” is introduced as the emergence of the self into its next level of evolution, accompanied by inevitable birthing pains. In its first- stage subtleties, a LifeQuake often goes unrecognized. Telltale signs include boredom, restlessness, and irritability. What is misunderstood, if not totally overlooked, is that these are symptoms of an outgrown life, not evidence that you are cracking up! You are merely operating ‘defunctionally’, not dysfunctionally. Not surprisingly, this is when resistance to change is strongest. We’re not uncomfortable … enough yet. Without understanding this phenomenon, it may be hard to identify that these symptoms signal the dawn of a more authentic life and higher level of consciousness if you have a roadmap that addresses all aspects of you – body, mind, and spirit.

Through a questionnaire that has been given to thousands of people over the years, this chapter helps readers identify which stage of their LifeQuake is operative. Then it reviews the impact of Stage One on lifestyle, workplace, relationships, and health, while providing tangible strategies for mastering change, and developing resilience in the midst of crisis driven transitions in each of these areas.

How to start building a new ‘faultless’ foundation when the old one starts to crumble is described and accompanied with an explanation of the building elements for that stage.

In Chapter One, the building elements are Keen Observation and Listening. Each chapter contains a toolbox section with practical exercises to assist in transitioning into the next stage. For example, the toolbox exercise in Chapter 1 is called LIGHT, CAMERA, ACTION (a guided meditation to start your day).

As with all heroic journeys, there are distinct tasks that help with developing change mastery. At the end of this chapter and those that follow, these tasks are shown as bulleted checkpoints summarizing each leg of the LifeQuake journey. These are meant to be guide posts not judgmental criteria for how well you are doing.

On her new website, LifeQuake.com, Dr Toni is offering free guided visualization tools for this stage as part of signing up for her newsletter. There will also be other tools not shared in the main site, in the membership section of the site that are not in the book.
