Monte Farber - Astrology for Wellness: Star Sign Guides for Mind, Body & Spirit Vitality

The twenty- first century is the Age of Energy. Yet as the nations of the world race to develop the best sources of renewable energy for vehicles, homes, and industry, most of their people grow ever more weary. Technological achievements will be useless unless we also develop our ability to renew the energy in our own bodies, minds, and spirits as we confront this time of constant stimulation, information overload, and too much to do with far too little time in which to do it.

We have entered not only a new age but also what we call the Now Age, a time when everything seems like it has to be done now!

As spiritual counselors with decades of experience using the psychological language that is astrology in our advising people from all walks of life, we can tell you that lately almost everyone seems to be suffering their own version of burnout. Far too many people are exhausted yet unable to sleep and too disheartened at perceived failures to do what must be done to achieve reasonable goals.

After decades devoted to pursuing the most effective techniques for living a life of quality, health, and meaningand along the way developing many of our own techniquesweve written Astrology for Wellness to share what works for us, as well as simple yet effective techniques for developing and increasing an inner power supply. Our program has helped our clients to reclaim their personal power, heal, and rejuvenate.

We are not doctors, of course, and this book is not intended to be a substitute for the care and advice of any licensed practitioner you have researched and found to be someone whose advice you respect. We are, however, two people whose lives work well for ourselves, who are reasonably healthy and attractive for our ages, and whose dedication, life decisions, and energy levels have enabled us to produce a prodigious, sustained creative output over our more than forty happily married years togetheroutput that could easily seem to be beyond what two people could produce in several lifetimes. Its a living. And an important part of our way of living is sharing our secrets for doing so with you.

We have crafted what we call personality profiles that can help you understand your unique traits so that you can incorporate our suggestions to create your own successful wellness habits.

The information in Astrology for Wellness is arranged so that it will first help you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Once you determine the vulnerable areas of your body, mind, and spirit, you can take measures to protect, nurture, and build them up.

We offer you tools, guidance, and energy exercises to create awareness, jump- start needed changes, and outline healing modalities, cell salt recommendations, aromatherapy, and lifestyle guidance that meet the personal needs of each Sun Sign.

Once again, we are not doctors, and you should not do anything or put anything into or even on your body before first asking your licensed physician about it. We are each unique beings and that uniqueness extends to what we are strengthened by, weakened by, and possibly allergic to, especially if we are already taking prescribed medications or even food supplements.

The useful practices in this book have helped us to lead a life of quality and meaning, and we are sharing them in the hope that they can help you, too, stay mindful and enjoy the journey on your own unique path. While wellness used to be confined to supplements, food, and fitness, these days the movement has expanded to embrace a more holistic vision of well-being that includes our emotional and spiritual health, not just our physical states.

As astrologers since the mid 1970s and authors of several internationally best- selling and influential metaphysical titles, we are delighted that the worldwide movement seeking optimum well- being now includes astrology. Astrology for Wellness contains simple, enjoyableand what our many clients and we consider to be perceptivetips that enable the reader to make small changes to their regimen and in their stream of both common and cosmic consciousness.

Our goal is that your mind, body, and spirit will feel renewed, preparing you to face the rest of your day without the extra burdens and worries that would otherwise deplete your vital energies. We believe that our spiritual energy is our core source of mental strength, and that tapping into that energy is the key to living a joyous, mindful, loving, and successful life. We have done it, and we know beyond doubt that you can do it!

Weve packed these chapters with simple teachings that can produce powerful, life- changing results. We have learned many of these lessons from our years of astrological observations, personal readings, and psychic studies. Astrology for Wellness is our attempt to pass along information that has proven useful to us on the most practical level possibleteachings that have helped us to deal with lifes inevitable problems, to enjoy life more, and to find health, love, and prosperity.

The practices in this book are like the pearl in the oyster, created and discovered as a reaction to the irritants we experienced. I, Monte, practiced astrology professionally when I gave up the musicians style of living after it threatened my health and marriage in 1981. This, the most difficult period in my life, put my metaphysical belief system to the strongest of tests. But I know now that these painful times, as well as the teenage years I spent poor and homeless, were also some of the most valuable experiences of my life. It was through facing and dealing with the many problems of these times that I saw daily proof of how astrological and metaphysical theories put into practice could actually have very positive, practical, physical resultseven repairing what many might have thought irreparable.
