NEW BOOK by Albert Clayton Gaulden
Moments and Windstorms: Take Back Your Power

This ground-breaking book offers an in-depth journey through the author’s eye-opening addiction to alcohol and how he eventually got sober. Gaulden has written a number of books as well as being Founding Director of the Sedona Intensive, one of the country’s most highly regarded alternative personal growth programs.

The author shares all the ways God was leading and guiding him even when he was still drinking. “Most of us look at false paradigms to measure success in our lives. So much of where I went and the jobs I took helped me remember what I was to do as my life’s work.”

Gaulden’s book is divided into five parts. Each section explores different parts of his journey, incorporating all the places he’s been, the studies he’s made and the people he’s met. His point of view is that each client who sought his help made him a better person. At the end of the book, he has some daunting but hopeful words about the conditions of the planet Earth and what we need to do to survive as a race.

The Signs of the Time–There is a Lunar Eclipse Supermoon Full Moon on January 31 at 11 degrees of Leo. A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that approximately coincides with the closest distance that the Moon reaches to Earth in its elliptic orbit, resulting in a larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. This eclipse will affect Fixed Signs, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio most severely.

There is a Solar Eclipse New Moon on February 15 at 27 degrees of Aquarius. There is also a Void of Course Moon from 4:05 PM EST until 9:42 PM EST. Void of Course Moons have a similar effect of Mercury Retrograde: anything that can go wrong, will. It is also a slice of time that promises made during this time frame are rarely kept.

There are no retrograde planets in the month of February. This means that life will be lived in the faster lane. You think that everything is coming up roses and then the bloom is off the bush. Use extreme caution and don’t fall for scams and trickery this month.

Always remember that it is more important how you react to an eclipse than what the eclipse requires of you. Most importantly they can be life-changing. Before we leave the opening of this column let’s be real clear about one thing. This is going to be a tough year. If you thought 2017 was iffy, pay close attention to all that’s going on all around you all year. Although the Stock Market looks unstoppable there will be a major correction. Oftentimes the over-optimistic will stay too long at the exhilaration of the ride to the top. Play only as long as you can lose when the Market turns; because it will.

Fire Signs

fireARIES (March 18 – April 19)–Now that Uranus in Aries is direct in motion you best remember the expression that “Rome was not built in a day.” Be a bit more cautious in how you do business. You don’t have to run the table every day. Smart men and wiser women kick back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. There is a lot going on in the world that cries out for help from all signs in all ways. Aries is especially able to make right choices this month. Make sure you meditate and seek inner intuitive guidance. All in All, this should be a productive month for you Rams.

LEO (July 21 – August 21)–With the Solar and Lunar Eclipses in Aquarius and Leo this month you may feel a bit queasy and unsteady. All aspects and all interactions between planets and signs insist that each of us respond in ways that cause us to grow spiritually. Leo is known to be full of him or herself and many times can appear to be grandiose and a braggart. Your opportunity in this Solar Cycle is to see what you can do for others without consideration for how it can benefit yourself. The good news is that Uranus and Saturn are still benefitting you in a sizeable way.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–You are one of the most energetic signs that is always on the go. Some had named you as one “blowing in the wind.” The most freeing aspect for you in ages has been that Saturn is now in Capricorn taking you out from under the Cosmic Microscope. The trine from Uranus in Aries continues to help you somewhat. The Solar and Lunar Eclipses are really lighting your fire this month. Up ahead your ruling planet, Jupiter, will come back into Sag for a year, making you feel as if you’ve died and been reborn more powerful and aligned.

Earth Signs

earthTAURUS (April 20 – May 18)–Duck your head and keep a low profile this month. Besides the lunations in conflict with you, your ruling planet, Venus is in a tough sign, Aquarius. When the Cosmos is out of synch with you do not push the river. Keep to what you know. No sign wants security and safety nets any more than Taurus. The secret to following the Stars to see what they mean, there are a lot of times when you are to bide your time and wait for more opportune times to act on certain matters. This is a waiting period for you.  Take a yoga class and make sure you are in alignment with yourself.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–With your ruling planet, Mercury in Aquarius beginning February 1 you might feel out of sorts since the Water Bearer is an Air Sign and Virgo is an Earth Sign. But the two weeks before that with Mercury in Capricorn you might bring a lot of issues into resolutions. A Capricorn Mercury allows you to stick with what you know and let someone else process the out-of-bounds notions of an Aquarian Mercury. Venus will also unnerve you in the Sign of Aquarius, but you will be aided and abetted with Saturn in Capricorn all Solar Cycle.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–Now that Saturn has moved into the Sign of the Goat you are going into more than two years of learning, eliminating, recycling and being redirected in your life’s mission. With Pluto still in Capricorn for a lot longer you are the Sign of the Zodiac that may begin to feel you are in the Game of Life by yourself. Not. As a Capricorn no sign perseveres better than you do. Mercury in Capricorn for a half a month will do a lot to rekindle your enthusiasm for whatever lands in your lap. Still put. No one embraces change quite like a Goat.

Air Signs

airGEMINI (May 19 – June 19)–Your ruling planet Mercury is in an Air Sign, Aquarius this month. If you are willing to think outside the box and trust your highly-developed intuition you will be in stand in high cotton all month. The problem you Geminis have is that you are apt to listen to the chattering classes and forget that what you think and the actions you take come from you. Trust you, keep connected to the God of your own understanding and all important matters will work out in the end. Problems arise when we second-guess ourselves.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 22)–Never forget that for awhile longer, Saturn in Capricorn will give you a run for your money, But you have Mercury and Venus in an Air Sign, Aquarius, which should be advantageous to you.  Your long and strong suit is to make allies with all signs because no sign more than Libra understands peace, harmony and balance.  Known to inherit the wisdom of Solomon, you Venus-ruled leaders know that the challenge of life is to change and to make amends for ill deeds from ancient pasts. Stick to your game plan and all will work in the end.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 18)–With these eclipses this month Aquarians will experience a whole lot of shake, rattle and roll. In all areas of your life you must make smart decisions if you want to right the leaks and wobbles in your life. All is not lost if you are able to see what you need to change to make your life better. The innate nature of you Water Bearers is to be free of the ties that bind. However, nothing is constant but change no matter what is your sign.

Water Signs

waterCANCER (June 20 – July 20)–No matter what the Moon is doing you Crabs will always survive to thrive. My sensibility tells me that all of these lunations and eclipses are nothing more or less than having to understand the points of view of other signs and when they come in conflict with us. No one quite gets the notion that this is the Lower World of correction and the Upper World is the keeper of the Keys to Creation and its purposes. No sign is more loving and kind but also time to time controlling than are Cancers. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t forget that there are 12 signs and 10 planets to consider.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–Personal planets always set the musical tone for any Solar Cycle. Scorpios need to know that Mercury and Venus in Aquarius part of this month will be a tad difficult. But Jupiter in Scorpio will do a lot to make this Solar Cycle hugely successful for you. Also Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn will give you all the cosmic ammo you need to get a lot of work done. A caution right now for you is a woman who has always appeared to be a BFF is really jealous and ready to undermine you at all costs. Let her go bye-bye.

PISCES (February 19 – March 17)–You best remember that all of our charts have all of the signs somewhere in the mix. All the eclipses, New and Full Moons are stirring the pot for all of us. This month you seem to have a chance to make amends and change the dynamics in a relationship. After the first of February you will find your groove and make a lot of headway. The caution for a Pisces is always around emotional overload and the tendency to become addicted to a person, a concept or a substance. Check yourself out and make sure you have not picked up a habit that is destructive to your well being.

Couples Who Went to the Extreme to Save Their Marriage
An interview with Carl and Joyce Gioia in RedBook Magazine

When Joyce Gioia couldn’t think of anything else to save her marriage and solve the trust issues that were tearing her and her husband, Carl, apart, she decided to make an investment into what she hoped could be a life-long, loving marriage.They packed their bags and headed to the Sedona Intensive: A $16,000 week-long intensive therapy session that helps people release all self-destructive behaviors.

The purpose of this particular therapy was to help them become stronger individuals, and the counseling was never couple-based. In fact, they only saw each other once per morning at 7 a.m. when they attended a 12-step meeting. The meetings addressed addictions—but it had nothing to do with substance abuse—it was focused on things like work addictions and co-dependence issues.

Between the supervised journaling, visits with renowned mental health professionals, and their genuine will to make things work, Carl and Joyce were able to recover their relationship.

“I believed that the nature and the intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing a resolution in our marriage,” Joyce said. And she was right. By looking at each other as total individuals, they were able to discover what was most important to their spouse and cater to those specific needs. Two years have passed and they’re more in love than ever.

Q & A

RedBook – Explain what the Sedona intensive is. 

The Sedona Intensive is a rigorous, weeklong self-exploration. During the week, through concentrated journaling and visits with mental and physical health professionals, we each invested a lot of effort and energy in self-discovery. This self-learning experience is designed and managed by well-respected psychologist Albert Gaulden and includes daily meeting with Albert to monitor progress and ensure results.

RedBook – How did you find out about it?

My brother, who is a nationally acclaimed Emergency Department physician, had gone through this experience with his wife Amber and highly recommended it to us.

RedBook – What did you do at the Sedona intensive? 

Every day, we began by attending a 12-Step Meeting with AA. Then, we had a rotating schedule of appointments with a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a yoga instructor, and/or an energy-balancing professional, and of course, Albert. In our “spare” time, we took independent hikes, though the spectacular Sedona canyons.

RedBook – What made you decide to go to this? 

We decided to do it, because nothing else seemed to be working to resolve our trust issues. I believed that the nature and intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing resolution of our marriage.

RedBook – How did it change your relationship?

We both worked very hard to discover why we engaged in self-destructive behaviors that stood in the way of our sharing the loving relationship we both thought possible. Two years later, we are more in love than ever before.

RedBook – Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, absolutely, if the two people are prepared to approach the experience with open hearts and minds and they are truly interested in doing the work to strengthen the relationship.

Lindsay, as I said before, “I honestly do not know what else we might have done that would have been so effective in turning the relationship around”.

Joyce Gioia

What Our Clients Are Saying About The Sedona Intensive

“The Sedona Intensive was a life changing experience for me. I had been searching for happiness and serenity for over 20 years and as a result of the Intensive I found that I was looking in all the wrong places. I not only experienced what happiness and serenity truly are but now understand the process needed to maintain and enhance that state of being. It doesn’t mean that I don’t experience the ups and downs of life but what it does mean is that those downs do not even come close to impacting me the way they used to. There is now a presence of mind that provides clarity and purpose that did not exist for me prior to the Intensive.

It is impossible to put a value on such a quality of life enhancing experience that the Sedona Intensive provides the person willing to do the work.It is by far the most significant thing I have done in my 62 years.

I came across a quote last week that summed up what I experienced and learned while attending the Sedona Intensive – ‘Once you stop clinging and let things be, you’ll be free’ -Bodhidharma (440ce – 528 ce), the Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma: A Bilingual Edition.”
