 We are approaching the 1-year mark since health and wellness have been pushed to the forefront of our minds and our lives.
Every aspect of this time has served to open our awareness to how we are serving ourselves in creating, maintaining and protecting good health. One aspect that is not often shown in the mainstream is energy healing. What is energy healing? Energy healing is a broad term that encompasses both New Age and Ancient modalities. Not all energy healing is the same. Some targets specific body systems such as acupuncture. Others are more broad-spectrum such as toning "Om" for 10 minutes to raise one's vibratory frequency. Still other methods - including those that I offer - focus on removing negative energy from the aura before it can even manifest in our physical bodies and also awaken dormant potential in our DNA to allow us greater access to our own potential. This sounds futuristic, yet this is an ancient energy technology which has benefited humans for centuries. I'm often asked how the energy healing work I do fits into the scheme of things. The answer to this is that the modalities I offer serve to aid you in awakening and healing. What is awakening? When we are born we are innocent. Our parents or caregivers take care of us the best they know how from what they have learned in life. And we grow up through a process of step-by-step learning and absorbing information and integrating it from our environment and the people in it. Yet at a certain point we reach a state of consciousness where we are ready to choose. Choose what exactly?... Choose if we will open ourselves up to more, to the hidden knowledge within ourselves. This point comes at different times/places/situations for everyone. And it is often referred to as "awakening". At the point of awakening we now are ready to dive beneath the surface of our reality - again, only if we choose to do so. We each have the option to journey within to the heart of ourselves and the wellspring of consciousness. It is there that we are greeted with the opportunity for immense progression. What is progression? In the Modern Mystery School, we view progression in two simple words which are a guiding tenet for ALL of the energy healing modalities and training offered - "Know thyself." "A key to knowing yourself is to know your true purpose in life. To know your life’s purpose and live in alignment with it will create an experience of unprecedented joy and a new level of fulfillment in your life." - Modern Mystery School International A big part of my work as a Mystery School Guide is to reach out my hand and offer teachings and tools to others who desire to walk along their path, step-by-step and progress towards their greatness. Yes, this is about your potential. Progression is the path between where you are now, and where you want to be. And where you want to be has to do with your purpose. What is purpose? Each of us has a unique blend of gifts we bring to the world. We are endowed with these to bring joy, fulfillment, pleasure, love, health, wonder, and all manner of good things to our lives and into the lives of those around us. When we have an inkling of our purpose, we then have a direction to focus our creative energy and innate gifts onto. We begin to move forward and gain momentum. A telltale sign that you are onto your life purpose work is that when you are doing it, you feel the most joy in your life. It brings a deep satisfaction that fills you from within and lifts your energy and spirits. Yet, the path of progression is difficult because you will most certainly color outside of the lines of what others expect of you, and perhaps even your own expectations for yourself. How does this all come together? As you awaken and begin to progress towards your life purpose, you will need to heal. There are not so healthy patterns and negative energy that needs to be cleared away so that you can move forward more freely and unencumbered by the past. This is where energy healing can play a vital role. Also, in order to sustain your new path forward, you may want to be exposed to ideas which are helpful to create new healthy patterns and ways of being. Engaging in training to open your awareness and perception can help you to reach beyond where you are and into a bigger playing field. As this focus on health continues in our world, it may be helpful to understand that when you have a purpose, it is much easier to align everything in your life in order to achieve that purpose. It becomes multitudes easier to eat healthier if you know that doing so will allow you to become who you want to be down the road. This is why the Modern Mystery School focuses on progression, and not simply manifestation, although that is a part of it. Progression takes into account the Whole Being of who we really are, and not just what we desire in any particular moment or period of time. Progression is about our lifelong journey. It holds us in a space of our greater potential and allows us to step into that potential step-by-step along a proven path of healing, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

 With the dawning of this new year comes a renewed sense of hope. I've personally noticed and welcomed in a freshness and lightness. While each day is a chance to start anew, there is something very special about the invigoration of the New Year.
Some are celebrating that we made it through 2020. Others might see this year as merely a continuation of hardship and strife. While 2021 most certainly will not be free from these things as we have already seen, I invite you to keep in mind that there is a baseline level of challenging obstacles in our lives and on our personal path. When we come to these challenges humbly and looking through the lens of love and unity, they can helpful teachers, urging us to transform into something better and greater than who we were before. I welcome you to invite in new experiences, new opportunities for growth, and invite yourself to participate in life at a new level. I invite you to learn new things and be unafraid of connecting with others with an open heart and mind in the spirit of building bridges. We won't always agree. We won't always like what someone else says. Yet we always have the option to share authentically and possibly learn something that surprises and perhaps even delights us. The mission of the Modern Mystery School is that of world peace. At this time in human history with all of the problems and challenges facing us this might seem more impossible than ever before. However, I believe that world peace is a keystone foundational goal that is WORTHY of humanity. One of the greatest joys of our lives is the opportunity to experience different perspectives - which happens best when we feel safe and in a space of compassionate peace. We benefit when we try and do our best to create peace in our own lives and inspire others to do the same, no matter what is happening in the world around us. Here are 6 helpful perspectives for the year ahead:
With Love, Purpose and Service, Beth Siragusa Mystery School Guide, Healer & Teacher in the Lineage of King Salomon  Next week begins the 10 week countdown to 2021 - can you believe it?! Now is a perfect time to refocus on what you want to accomplish and do before the end of the year. Below is a checklist of a few of my top suggested to-dos before 2020 is gone for good.
10 Essential Things To Do Before 2021 - in no particular order :)
I recommend choosing one of these for each week remaining in the year. Jot them down on your calendar or set an alert on your phone to remind you on the Sunday or Monday at the beginning of each week. Sending you my very best :) Sincerely Yours, Beth Siragusa Mystery School Guide, Healer & Teacher in the Lineage of King Salomon  Meditation. If you've attended any class or session with me, you probably noticed that I mention meditation... a lot. The ability to focus one's mind, to bring peace into the heart, and harmony into one's being and environment in the blink of an eye - sound appealing? I know it did to me! But... when I first began meditating, it was not like that. I struggled. One of the issues I ran into was getting really stuck on "when is the timer going to go off" and "how much LONGER do I have???" and it really was not getting me the results I was seeking. In order to get my mind OFF of the time and ON to my meditation, I tried something different. Instead of using the Timer feature, I tested out the Stopwatch on my phone. What I experienced would change my meditation practice for good! Why? (1) Because the stopwatch counts UP instead of down - as the numbers increase I feel more and more accomplished. I allow myself to slightly open my eyes and see how much time has passed, and this helps to ground me into my practice of meditation rather than draw my attention away from it. (2) I'm not waiting on a Timer to tell me when my meditation is “done". This allows me to come to a natural stopping or pause point in my meditation practice and come back into the room gently in my own time. And I don't fell like a failure if I "am running out of time and haven't gotten anything done" or "don't make it" all the way to when the Timer goes off. (3) Not setting a Timer takes my mind off of time and centers my awareness on being in the now moment. I can release thoughts of “how much time do I have left” (which is in the future) and places my awareness back in the present moment with “ok, I’ve been meditating for x minutes and I feel like I can go longer” or “I feel like I’m done for now.” I set a goal of how much time I would like to spend, but it can also flex organically. Each meditation session is different and, unless you have a serious time constraint on your meditation time, it's beneficial for it to take its own course. The Timer can be jarring when in meditation as well, even if you have it set to a soothing or subtle alert sound, because meditation puts us in a deeper brainwave state. Keep in mind that the amount of time spent is only ONE measure of a good meditation practice. Some days my meditation is short but super powerful - and it's exactly what I needed! I hope this is valuable insider information for you to up your meditation game. Let me know if you try this out - I'd love to hear how it works for you! Kind Regards, Beth Siragusa Guide, Healer & Teacher in the Lineage of King Salomon p.s. The upcoming Empower Thyself Class & Initiation has a Sanctuary Meditation technique you will learn which helps your meditation practice become more consistent and allows you to get more accurate inner guidance through this unique meditation technique. Let me know if you're interested and I will share more :)  When was the last time we asked ourselves "What is really in my HEART?"
When we examine our heart with objectivity, we can begin to see clearly where our heart is leading us. But it is a bit of a mystery because from the time we are little, our true heart's desire is covered up by what we "learn" from both the hurtful and rewarding experiences, and through these experiences we begin to put limitations on our heart. I remember being about 6 years old having an incredible imagination, and then being told that what I wanted to do in the world to help others probably wouldn't happen. I was given so many reasons why what I wanted to do wouldn't work. So much negative feedback on what I was doing wrong to not fit into what others wanted me to be. I eventually believed it and I gave up... almost... because my heart never really did give up. Many years later I had an awakening at the age of 26. I wasn't looking for an awakening but it came! And with it I remembered all of the things I wanted to do for others, and my heart began to remember as well. I started the process of trusting my heart, and to truly lead from my heart for the first time in my life. I invite you to contemplate the following questions - "If I could do ONE thing to day to lead with my heart - what would it be?" "If I could do ONE thing in the next year to fulfill my heart's true desire - what would I do?" Maybe you don't know what your heart really wants - is it time to find out? Are you ready to remember that piece of yourself? Are you ready to do the self-work to bring out and express your pure essence? The heart holds the blueprint of our deepest desires and also the understanding of what will bring us the most joy in our lives! Meditation helps to open this back up for us, and the sessions and classes help to heal old wounding which blocks us from the potential of living our true heart's desires, and empower us to live a life of deeper purpose and fulfillment. And I know that we are living through extraordinary times - which in my view makes it even more important to keep in touch with our internal desires and guidance system. One session in particular which helps to heal the heart is the Hermetic Soul Retrieval. This session brings back pieces of the soul which have been lost or detached through trauma or other events. Bringing these pieces back helps us to remember our true heart's desires and the passion to create joy, wonder, peace and prosperity in our lives for ourselves and to help others! I am offering this session at a special price along with the Life Activation session. You can pre-schedule these sessions now as we anticipate re-opening through the next phase in Washington state. Message me for more details if you are interested. I invite you to think about the true instinct of our heart - is it to hate or to love? is is to be afraid or to have courage? is it to isolate or connect? As a child, what was your first response? Was it to hate? Probably not. We learn these negative patterns along the way. We cover up our true heart's desire with bitterness and limitation. These are questions we must ask ourselves, as each individual heart makes up the collective heartbeat of humanity. Every heart plays a role in creating the overall tone of our experience in this lifetime. And every heart matters! Sending you Love and Light, Beth Siragusa 
And of course through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can boost our joy and enjoy life more! Sending you Love and Light, Beth Siragusa Guide, Healer & Teacher in the Lineage of King Salomon p.s. I am offering FREE Online Meditations every Wednesday during the Stay at Home / Stay Safe order. Take a look at our calendar of events.  I hear it all the time. The people I'm speaking with don't always say it outright, but I can hear it in their voice, the tone of the text or email. We are STRESSED.
And for good reason! Our world is rapidly changing and shifting. What we used to depend on, what we thought was solid and reliable, might not be around tomorrow. I teach a class called Stress Rescue™ in which I share the underlying causes and mechanisms of stress in our bodies and lives, as well as the 10 most effective methods for alleviating stress. I'd like to share the #1 tip for relieving stress - Breathe. By studying blood levels of stress hormones, experts have determined that your brain takes 10 seconds to recognize a "stressor". This means that you have 10 seconds to pause, and inhibit the stress response. In that pause, you can give your brain the "information" that this is not a stressor. The De-Stress Breathing Technique:
This 10 second pause will buy you the time to make a decision BEFORE your body begins the stress hormone release that will alter your perceptual and physiological state for the next SIX HOURS! Stress leads to many problems in our body, mind and emotions - such as:
Through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can alleviate not only stress and it's effects, but the causes of stress in our lives! We become proactive instead of reactive. Keep in mind that I am offering support through these challenging times. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can schedule a time to talk.

Take a look at our calendar of events.  What would it take for us to speak these words and truly mean them?
Imagine that you are at the end of your life. You are reviewing all of the events in your personal history. What do you want to have seen, done, known, understood and accomplished? What do you think that you'll regret if you don't go for it now? What are the things that you are doing now that don't really matter in the grand scheme of your life? A hospic nurse wrote a book where she details her observations in the last 12 weeks of life, entitled "The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying" - here they are: 1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. 3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I'd let myself be happier. As I was contemplating this list, I realized that regrets #2, 3, 4 and 5 are all a result of regret #1. Let's break this down a bit... If we are doing work that we enjoy and makes us happy, we never work a day in our lives! Work won't be so "hard" and even when it is we know that it is worth it because it matters to us. The Mystery Schools have called this "Life Purpose" or our calling. It fulfills a deep yearning within when we are in alignment with and doing this type of work. We will feel the most joy that is possible when in alignment with our Life Purpose. The Life Activation is the first step towards finding and aligning with your Life Purpose, through unlocking the physical and spiritual DNA to allow greater access to our gifts and deeper understanding of our true selves. When we are doing work we love, we aren't afraid to express our feelings and emotions. Why? Because our priorities are in order. We understand what's truly important and we aren't afraid to express ourselves. Our emotions are connected to a source of truth within, and these are really valid to pay attention to. Of course there is a balance, and the mind/intellect must be weighed against the feelings/emotions in order to have a balanced and harmonious life. Also, this prioritization allows us to connect. We tend to withdraw when we don't feel like we're measuring up to some mark or goal. It's a tendency to "hide" or go inward. This isn't a bad impulse at all, in fact, it helps us to reconnect within to our true selves - if we allow ourselves the time and space to turn inwards and do that work. Unfortunately, there are so many distractions in the modern world it's so easy to become trapped in old habits and patterns or addictions or watching TV and scrolling through social media as a distraction, rather than do our own inner work to become clear about our lives and then connect with others from an empowered state of being. Can you imagine what those relationships would then look like?! And finally - happiness comes from within and being here in the now moment. We tend to rush around and be really busy, or indulge in the many forms of distraction which prevent us from being truly present in our lives. But true happiness is felt in the moment, being present with all of our senses. And again, it's much more appealing to be present in life when we are doing fulfilling work and connected with that source of joy within! Through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can begin to transform our lives and ensure that we have no regrets!! In my experience, living with no regrets isn't about making bold moves or taking big risks - though these can sometimes be a part of the process. It's about knowing oneself as fully as possible and living from the most authentic self and be able to stand fully in the light with no blame, shame or guilt. "This is me. This is who I am, and I am constantly evolving." And it really does take dedication, determination and practice to live in that state. Sending you Love and Light, Beth Siragusa Guide, Healer & Teacher in the Lineage of King Salomon p.s. I am offering FREE Online Meditations every Wednesday during the Stay at Home / Stay Safe order. Take a look at our calendar of events.  In metaphysical teachings, the imagination is one of the most powerful tools for transformation that we possess.
What we can see we can achieve. The teachings in the Lineage of King Salomon expand up on this in the Empower Thyself Program. Delving into the workings of the mind, how thoughts impact every area of our lives, and how to begin to use the powerful tool of imagination to create our reality. Yet, the mind and our thoughts are not all that we have at our disposal. There is an energy, a force, a creational impulse which we can access from within. The Jedi in Star Wars were in part patterned after the metaphysical teachings - the Force is really with Us! There is an underlying energy to everything. This energy is what we tap into with our intuition. And we can learn to heighten our connection to our intuition with teachings and training. Our school system, for the most part, keeps us locked into our left brains - the logic brain. Yet, our right brain is where intuition is accessed. Except for the arts, the training of accessing and using our intuition is vastly ignored in current society. Have you ever had a "gut feeling"? Or have you ever just "known" something and not understood how? These feelings and insights are your intuition speaking to you. They are your connection with your higher self - that part of you that knows your highest good path. Wouldn't it seem useful to be able to access this? Through meditation and other training and methods, you can! There are ways to develop clear, consistent and reliable guidance from your inner light - that part of you that knows your life purpose and the means to fulfill it. Your life purpose is what will give you the most joy in your life and allow you to share that joy with others! So you see, the force is with us in every moment. It is within us and we only need to access it. And, like in the movies, we can use this force for good or not, the choice is up to us. The teachings and tools in the Lineage of King Salomon have assisted humans for centuries to tap into the force within for good, and engage more fully with the present moment in peace and joy! I often hear from first-timers that it is Jedi training for real - or a real-life Hogwarts Academy! As I look around at what is happening in our world and in my life, I am even more determined to share these teachings and tools of empowering ourselves. These methods create a firm foundation for a new life of peace and harmony to anchor in our lives. Through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can begin to free ourselves from the old baggage, unburden ourselves of past hurts and clear out the "mind clutter" which keeps us trapped in unhealthy patterns which perpetuate the hurt, pain and suffering into our future. We can then become aware of the pure essence of our being to access and use the force within for tremendous good! Keep in mind that I am offering support through these challenging times.

I am offering FREE Online Meditations every Wednesday during the Stay at Home / Stay Safe order. Take a look at our calendar of events.  When it was time to choose a name for my business, I meditated and contemplated for weeks. I wanted to make sure that what I chose reflected the pure essence of the beauty and harmony which is transmitted and brought through the ancient teachings and healings in the Lineage of King Salomon through the Modern Mystery School.
And so Pure Essentials Light Center was birthed. With all of the rapid shifts in the world many are asking the question: "What is essential?" We are reflecting on what is necessary, what is foundational... what is real and true. These questions are not only at the heart of figuring out our finances and in business and economics, but also the crux of all relationships in our lives. Our relationship with ourselves, with our family, our career, our home environment, pets, etc. All of these relationships rest upon what we have decided - either consciously or subconsciously - about what is essential. In the Empower Thyself Program, one of the main teachings is about what is a need versus a want. This is crucial because needs MUST be met in order for us to be able to fulfill our wants. What do we truly need? What is essential? We must know this so that we can fully embrace our wants and soul desires to create and express our unique selves into the world and serve others in doing so! At this time of great pause and reflection, it is essential to go inward, to begin asking the tough questions (if we haven't already) - and really take responsibility about what is working and not working in our lives - what is truly essential and what is not. We tend to carry around a bigger burden than is necessary. We drag around old stories of when we've been wronged or hurt, all of our reasons and justifications for being rude, dismissive, walled-off or hateful, and our long-held beliefs based on the original wounding we received as a child (physical, mental & emotional). This non-essential baggage tends to define a much bigger portion of our lives than we would like or perhaps care to admit, but it doesn't have to. We have the ability to choose to let things go. We can work on releasing ourselves from the painful parts of our past in order to create a new and exciting future. We can also choose to not let what's not working so great in our present to define our future. We can access, activate and amplify innate healing. We are more powerful than we know. The teachings and tools in the Lineage of King Salomon have assisted humans for centuries to free themselves of their past, and engage more fully with the present moment in peace and joy! Through meditation - and other methods such as the Life Activation Session and teachings and tools of transformation in the Empower Thyself Program - we can begin to free ourselves from the old baggage, unburden ourselves of past hurts and clear out the "mind clutter" which keeps us trapped in unhealthy patterns which perpetuate the hurt, pain and suffering into our future. We can then become aware of the pure essence of our being and recognize what is truly essential and what is not. Benefits of Meditation:
