and ease of well-being?”

“Afformations”,askempoweringquestionsthatcauseyourmindtofocusonwhatyouREALLYwantandwhatyouHAVE,andstopfocusingonwhatyoudon’twantanddon’thave.

LifeByTheNumbers-CecilieBodman

February2016NumerologyisNumber11

This is the month to follow your intuition. Set new standards for yourself. You can be the light of the world today supporting the growth of your community. You can also be greatly inspired or you can inspire others. Rise above daily routine and keep your own inner peace. Live up to your ideals and prepare yourself with meditation. Develop ways so you can hear and act on your illumination. Gems: Pearls, Silver Oils: Spruce, Rose, Geranium, Lavender, Orange, Sage. You can add Sage, Rose, Orange and Lavender to your cooking and apply diluted oils to your temples, very top of head at "soft spot", third eye and thyroid.

AffirmationForFebruary:“Iamashiningexampleoftheloveandhappinessgrowingintheworldtoday.”
