Orinoco Flows with a 9 Fire Child Star
Orinoco Flows is a community where people can learn more about their Child Star through practical rituals that provide deep insight into your authentic self. Cultivating a relationship with your Child Star is a means to engage in holistic medicine and reach your full potential–a heart practice to empower your life. Rex Lassalle explores a 9 Fire Child Star pattern with Kristen Thomas using the 9 Star Ki, an ancient Japanese astrology system that uses the science of cosmology to help us understand our subconscious mind and our emotional needs. Rex demonstrates how the knowledge of this astrology bridges science and spirituality. This video recording is an offering to the Orinoco Flows community–a space to connect women and their families to their Child Star element. By cultivating a relationship with your Child Star, you can navigate the challenges of your life with more ease by raising oxytocin levels (the love, feel-good hormone) in your body. We invite you to step outside of your rational, left-brain way of thinking, and engage with your right-brain through experience. More information is on our webpage https://hte.hrr.temporary.site/orinoco-flows/. You are welcome to join our Facebook group: Orinoco Flows Community while you progress in your own healing journey https://www.facebook.com/groups/512808520903964

welcome
0:45
we’re here with Rex LaSalle and Kristen
0:48
Thomas
0:49
Rex is in Finland we’re here in
0:51
Charlottesville Virginia and we’re here
0:54
to talk a little bit about the Orinoco
0:55
flows community and the child star so I
0:59
just wanted to take a moment to
1:00
introduce
1:01
um Kristen who’s going to be receiving
1:04
not just a miniature reading from rex on
1:08
her child star numbers so our audience
1:10
and listeners can get an idea of what
1:13
the child star is and a flavor of what
1:16
the ornoko flows Community is going to
1:18
offer
1:20
people which is a space that we’ve put
1:23
together for healing and coming into
1:25
relationship with with your child star
1:28
so Rex if you want to take it away from
1:31
here
1:32
thank you very much Christiana for
1:34
introducing us and thank you Kristen for
1:36
being here thank you and from your
1:39
birthday correct me if I I’m not if I
1:42
get it you know if it’s not correct it’s
1:44
the 22nd of January 1981 would that be
1:47
correct that’s correct all right and the
1:51
system that I am using that I work with
1:54
comes from Japan it’s called the nine
1:57
Star KI astrology
1:58
I have been with this work for over four
2:01
decades I’ve written you know books
2:03
about it
2:04
and in the last 10 years my focus has
2:08
become more drawn to the child star as I
2:11
see how potent it is in our lives as
2:15
regards our subconscious mind and our
2:19
emotional needs
2:22
um so having a relatedness with our
2:25
child star makes a big difference yes in
2:29
life we have challenges it’s part of
2:31
life and having the companion of our
2:34
child start being very present and US
2:37
cultivating that relationship with it
2:40
it helps to make things smoother and it
2:44
facilitates
2:46
higher oxytocin levels in our being
2:49
so this is at the core of it and
2:54
um
2:54
so
2:56
your question for you um from your birth
2:59
date you carry the pattern of the Two
3:01
Earths as an adult and your child star
3:05
is the nine fire this comes from a nine
3:08
star ki calendar
3:10
um you know as we begin the community
3:13
you know to have more you know members
3:16
in in the New Year we will get into more
3:19
of those details and calendars would be
3:22
sent out and things like that
3:24
so we’re working with a nine fire child
3:27
star in your situation
3:30
your pattern carries the same pattern as
3:34
Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey has a two
3:36
Earth as an adult and nine fire as a
3:39
child
3:39
the nine fire as a child is someone who
3:43
being in the Limelight or being
3:46
on stage or sharing their skill set with
3:51
the world is something that nourishes
3:54
them
3:55
the thing about to do at times is that
4:00
um the woman has to fight for that
4:02
sometimes it’s not a given sometimes
4:06
it’s um you know because okay
4:08
um I mean it’s all out there you could
4:10
read her biography I mean she was raped
4:12
okay and all of these things plus the
4:14
father who from being an announcer in a
4:17
radio station I don’t know where their
4:19
heads were as regards so she couldn’t
4:22
communicate
4:24
etc etc
4:26
um so the owning of of that is very um
4:29
so I’m
4:30
sharing it with you and more in a sense
4:33
of in a career context there are many
4:35
contexts we can look at okay but I’m
4:37
just kind of putting it in that area as
4:39
I’m aware that
4:41
um you know you work in the realm of
4:44
acupuncture you work in the realm of
4:46
healing and so it’s you know aspects of
4:49
your career
4:51
so my question to you
4:53
um oh sorry let me allow let me you know
4:56
any comments you want to share before I
4:59
you know ask some questions and we start
5:01
sort of unfolding where time takes us or
5:04
where the Orinoco takes us with your
5:08
reading because
5:09
the The Orinoco flows that River
5:14
is an integral part of what our
5:18
community is about
5:20
um
5:21
carries a healing presence
5:23
and it’s very much at the core of my
5:29
ancestry my ancestral Links come from
5:32
that area
5:33
and my father’s mother was an indigenous
5:37
woman from the from the Orinoco Basin so
5:40
all of that is present I’m not going to
5:43
get into those details now but anyway
5:44
I’m just letting you know that so when
5:46
I’m speaking about that I’m not speaking
5:48
about it like some projection from my
5:51
head it’s it’s part of my being so
5:53
anyhow enough talk for me let me heal
5:56
you with your comments or questions as
5:59
we let the river flow here now we’ll let
6:02
the river flow so I’ll just say that um
6:04
actually my career that I’m currently
6:07
doing is actually in the wine business
6:10
and I do feel that like presence of when
6:14
I’m on when I’m on when I’m like in
6:16
front of people when I’m doing wine
6:18
dinners I just like Blossom that’s like
6:21
where I love to be I love to teach
6:24
um the acupuncture thing I’m not
6:26
currently practicing because I haven’t
6:27
finished all of my boards but the same
6:30
thing applies to it I think wine and
6:32
acupuncture you you would never think of
6:35
the two curriculums being
6:37
um
6:39
um that they even entered connected but
6:41
I think what I love about both Chinese
6:43
medicine and wine is that I will never
6:46
know it all and I’m always a beginner
6:48
I’m always a learner I’m always a
6:49
student in it and I love to teach it at
6:52
least the pieces of it that I know and
6:54
that have come to me so the same thing
6:56
when I was treating with acupuncture and
6:58
coming through grad school and all of
7:00
that I always loved telling
7:03
um and explaining it because it’s kind
7:05
of an esoteric field of how it’s going
7:08
to help what are they feeling what are
7:10
they experiencing and like integrated it
7:12
so that they can understand it so again
7:15
like that teaching aspect but I think
7:17
that sometimes both are a struggle and
7:20
that I’m always like I feel like I’m
7:22
always trying to
7:25
um convince or persuade or
7:28
through that teaching so it’s always it
7:31
feels like I’m kind of like this
7:32
sometimes and sometimes it lands with
7:36
people really beautifully and they come
7:38
and they say really great things but
7:39
other times I feel like it’s kind of
7:41
like a
7:43
like a frustration sort of
7:46
so
7:48
um okay if this question comes up to ask
7:50
you so what happened
7:53
you would have been nine years be
7:55
dealing with 1990 we’re dealing in the
7:58
period in the Autumn like September
8:01
period something like that
8:03
um was just some family situation or
8:06
some social situation that sort of
8:10
you know twisted your head
8:12
in 1990 yep you would have been nine
8:15
years of age
8:17
let me think gosh
8:24
I don’t know I’m not I’m gonna have to
8:26
ponder that one for a minute all right
8:28
so what’s on my okay so what’s kind of
8:31
and listening to you and what’s what
8:33
you’re sharing or what you’re talking
8:34
about
8:36
um
8:37
the word permission how does that word
8:40
land for you where is that word in your
8:43
in your life permission like be it from
8:46
your parents be it you with yourself
8:48
that would permission what what’s that
8:51
for you hmm
8:54
permission
8:59
I think that there was a period I’m just
9:02
trying to think back with my folks kind
9:03
of in how they had very different
9:05
approaches in raising me my brother
9:09
um my dad was always the person that was
9:11
like go live life go travel go
9:14
experience go do go this and my mom was
9:17
always the one that was like no stay
9:19
close don’t go away don’t leave too far
9:21
so she was kind of the one that was very
9:24
um
9:25
I don’t want to say she held me back but
9:27
she was definitely always wanted me her
9:29
flock to be close so I think that might
9:32
be a little bit of that I don’t know
9:35
um if that rings a bell at all
9:38
sure of course I mean the aspect of that
9:41
self-expression
9:43
um because the nine fast uh the whole
9:46
aspect of your self-expression that you
9:48
just out there
9:50
and the world is your oyster and you’re
9:52
just doing it and that you have
9:54
challenges for sure that’s a given yeah
9:57
but in the sense of that fire is just
10:00
ruling an action is staking which you
10:02
know when you look at you know and and
10:05
do not hear when I speak about Oprah
10:07
Winfrey that you you know one has to
10:09
copy that but there are certain things
10:11
at times you see in certain
10:12
personalities lies that the dots you can
10:17
sort of extract certain dots and also
10:19
see how you can navigate with those dots
10:22
with your own life so it’s in that way
10:23
I’m talking about it rather than that is
10:26
a role model for you to embrace I’m not
10:29
in any way suggesting that but I’m just
10:31
giving the aspect of the challenges she
10:34
faced at the beginning
10:35
as regards well you can’t do that
10:39
um
10:41
and who said that I mean because this
10:43
was some of her early
10:45
um periods of life so in other words
10:47
your father saying just go for it just
10:49
do it on your mother saying well um stay
10:52
close so whatever
10:54
um freeing yourself from from that my
10:57
senses would be a key part and the other
11:00
question that I have around that which
11:02
is
11:03
the word deserving where does that word
11:06
land for you when I say deserving hmm
11:13
uh yeah that’s always been kind of a
11:15
hard one
11:17
in what way you mean that Kristen
11:20
um I think that
11:24
um geez how do I even put that in Taurus
11:26
it seems so simple right
11:29
um deserving
11:31
I feel like I’ve always been a super
11:33
hard worker I’ve always you know in in
11:35
all aspects of my life and I feel like
11:37
well gosh why is it such a struggle all
11:40
the time like why don’t I deserve more
11:42
don’t I deserve whatever it may be and
11:45
whatever
11:46
um aspect of my life because I I I try I
11:49
work I love people I take care of people
11:51
but it’s like why is there always like a
11:54
struggle there so maybe around that
11:56
maybe yeah but you would foreign
12:00
the
12:02
and stay with me and none of this these
12:05
are just observations then so please
12:07
allow it my questions they are intrusive
12:09
but they are intrusive in the sense of
12:12
coming home
12:13
finding past ways of coming home to
12:16
yourself in and embracing yourself in a
12:20
way that nourishes you
12:22
and
12:25
in speaking about deserving
12:28
you use the word at times am I not
12:30
deserving
12:32
um I’m trying those words to the
12:35
subconscious mind are not words that are
12:37
uplifting yeah they’re not clear yeah so
12:41
the aspect of like
12:44
um you know Christian deserves you know
12:48
the celebration of her career or
12:50
Christian deserves the accolades of a
12:54
skill set
12:57
um
12:58
can you get how I mean that or yeah and
13:01
actually something popped up so how old
13:03
are you in your next what grade are you
13:04
in
13:05
the ninth grade
13:07
yeah third or fourth yes when you’re six
13:10
you’re in first grade
13:12
so okay so I do have something I just
13:14
thought of it
13:16
so one of the aspects of right around
13:19
the time when I was nine or ten I
13:22
discovered that I have
13:24
insane test anxiety
13:27
um I know when it started I know where I
13:30
was I was in math class in third grade
13:32
and I feel like that might have been
13:34
around that same time but it’s
13:35
definitely been a hindrance throughout
13:38
my whole life through school through
13:40
grad school through getting my
13:42
acupuncture boards passed like all of
13:44
that started when I was in third grade I
13:46
remember the teacher I remember the time
13:48
I remember the multiplication tables I
13:50
had to ref
13:52
um repeat repeat in my head and time and
13:55
time again like I was so I was a ball of
13:58
stress going to school around that
14:00
period of time like to the point where I
14:02
started like pulling my hair out and
14:04
doing like all kinds of crazy stuff
14:07
um because I was so anxious and that’s
14:09
also the time that I learned that I have
14:12
um like anxious Tendencies as well
14:15
what Tendencies anxious anxious okay
14:19
okay
14:20
and Rex just a moment while you’re
14:23
digesting that
14:24
um I’d like to insert something as well
14:27
because one of the elements of the
14:29
Oronoco flows Community is that
14:32
we’re inviting people to experience
14:37
outside of their rational mind okay
14:40
right to experience
14:43
the subconscious mind
14:45
so when we think of the subconscious
14:47
mind we think of you know dreams or
14:50
abstract thinking okay and one of the
14:53
things when Rex mentioned deserving like
14:56
what happened in the space for you I’m
14:59
just curious like what happened in your
15:01
body
15:02
when the word deserving landed
15:06
I definitely felt it through my chest it
15:09
was like heavy
15:10
yeah I was just noticing that but
15:13
sitting next year so I was I wanted to
15:15
just bring that in
15:17
um
15:17
while we’re while we’re discussing
15:20
because you’ve talked to me a lot I mean
15:22
when we started working together
15:25
I’m a craniosacral therapist and work
15:28
with
15:29
neuropsychosomatics but that was
15:31
something that was interesting to me was
15:33
this test thing because you oh you
15:35
brought it up I mean you’re like hi I
15:37
work in the wine world I love the wine
15:39
World
15:40
um but you’ve been fighting to get into
15:43
the acupuncture world and you felt like
15:45
that asked that healing and coming in
15:49
connection with people in that way was a
15:52
direction that you really wanted for
15:53
yourself oh without a doubt but you’ve
15:55
been almost blocked from it because yeah
15:57
bored and you even mentioned to me that
15:59
the board exam itself is like it’s so
16:02
opposite of what acupuncture is it’s
16:04
like left brain testing applied to a an
16:08
ancient Healing Wisdom that’s yeah and
16:11
you’re like when I work on the body like
16:13
it comes alive for me I know all these
16:16
things and I can do it with my hands but
16:18
when I get to take the test it’s like
16:20
fear and I think that comes back and
16:24
Stems back to my third grade teacher Mrs
16:26
Gillard I’ll never forget
16:29
sure that that period of
16:31
um you know as you started to chat not
16:35
that period of nine years came up in my
16:37
mind in that particular period like what
16:39
went on as regards
16:43
yeah something like you know just some
16:47
part because you know as a nine year old
16:49
it’s like
16:51
yes whatever out there there’s a
16:53
spontaneity there’s the right things
16:56
let’s go and run that’s kind of whatever
16:58
and then
17:01
and those
17:04
those dents
17:06
at times unless we step out of them can
17:10
be a shadow for a very long time in our
17:14
lives
17:15
in our life and how we live it and
17:19
um I just sense that that is I’m going
17:22
to make a suggestion around that um for
17:25
you as regards
17:27
um that level of
17:30
um anxiousness what goes on with your
17:33
hands I mean as regards when you’re
17:36
anxious what happens with your hands
17:38
oh gosh
17:41
um normally when I have anxious
17:42
Tendencies it’s mostly like headache
17:45
it’s very
17:47
um here I will give I will physically
17:49
give myself a headache when I’m really
17:51
stressed out or like around my neck it
17:54
feels super tense
17:56
that’s typically where I feel anxiety in
17:59
my body okay I don’t even call my hands
18:02
but
18:04
do you do anything with your hands as
18:06
regards a ritual
18:09
um
18:11
um I don’t think so not that I’m
18:14
watching you hold your hands right now I
18:15
know I’m doing this but I’m not doing it
18:18
from an anxious place it’s just kind of
18:20
a comforting place I think I don’t know
18:22
no no I’m not by the way I’m not
18:24
necessarily suggesting Hans and anxiety
18:27
or feeling tense I’m not suggesting that
18:31
I’m just I’m on another level with you
18:33
just in general yes I’m on another level
18:36
with your acupuncture which hasn’t you
18:39
know a lot to do with the extension of
18:40
your Chi and all of these kinds of
18:43
things
18:44
and I just have a feeling
18:46
that to engage your hands as part of
18:52
um
18:54
but it’s just part of your
18:55
self-expression but as part of like a
18:59
new way of being of opening some new
19:03
doors for yourself
19:06
um in the sense of and this this has a
19:09
this has a kind of like a double quality
19:12
tit double in the sense of like
19:15
um at one level you’re doing it
19:16
physically and it will impact your body
19:19
and mind but at another level some part
19:23
of yourself in doing it you are
19:26
congratulating yourself and it’s about
19:28
you know
19:30
what happened okay
19:33
um
19:35
and I mean this in
19:38
um like in a very sort of
19:41
um I’m coming from it yes it’s it’s very
19:44
physical but I’m coming from it as um
19:47
from a spiritual domain as regardless
19:50
because the hands I think you know this
19:53
in a certain part of the brain it’s like
19:55
70 of that aspect of the brain I mean
19:58
this I can’t remember the name of it the
20:00
tongue is a big part of the tube and the
20:02
hands are a big part of it
20:05
um so in in Clapping Your Hands
20:08
you are activating certain centers in
20:12
your brain and at the same time
20:14
symbolically you are giving yourself a
20:17
round of applause
20:20
that’s brilliant I’ll try it
20:24
don’t just try it just engage with it
20:26
and just like have it like be a part of
20:29
the of the practice in a place of
20:31
surrender and to to add another
20:35
dimension to it
20:38
it’s like
20:41
you’re doing it by the Orinoco that
20:45
we’re in a local River you’re clapping
20:46
and the Orinoco River is blessing you
20:50
and the nine fire is having a sense of
20:54
resonance
20:57
because
20:58
you know there’s fire which is of course
21:01
the flame but there’s also fire in the
21:04
sense of when something has burnt a
21:06
while and it just sort of has a
21:09
resonance in the wood or whatever
21:11
it brings that
21:14
um so your face as your expression is
21:18
very different now with doing this no no
21:21
really I am not I’m not teasing you or
21:23
flattering you it’s there yeah no you
21:26
know it’s so fun like my whole life I
21:29
just want to play I just want to have
21:31
fun I want to and this is fun for me
21:35
so that would be my um that’s the
21:38
suggestion I have with this as regards
21:41
I’m doing that I I feel that at many
21:44
levels at one level
21:46
um the nine fire is being acknowledged
21:48
because you’re uploading yourself
21:50
and I think with your work
21:53
um
21:54
you know with writing a test with doing
21:56
your needles with doing with working
21:58
with the
22:00
um the wine or whatever there’s just all
22:03
of that
22:04
um the extension of the energy from your
22:07
hands
22:09
um has
22:12
um
22:12
other levels of communication for your
22:16
being that
22:17
yeah we’ll open doors for you oh lovely
22:20
thank you for that
22:22
my pleasure my pleasure Kristen um and
22:25
if if there’s a particular fragrance you
22:27
like
22:28
you could explore that with your hands
22:30
when you clap not a lot just maybe a
22:32
drop and um
22:34
and and the clapping
22:37
yeah explore that and I look forward to
22:40
getting some feedback about that because
22:41
I’m
22:43
um although I share a lot and I do
22:44
readings you know with students and
22:47
clients and whatever it’s always a
22:49
learning curve for me because real life
22:51
experiences I’m always learning it’s
22:54
this is working progress yeah the book
22:57
has never been closed it’s always open
22:59
with new experiences Cristiano could
23:02
tell you like last night they were
23:03
sitting you know dots that happen that I
23:06
haven’t
23:07
um you know had before in over four
23:10
Decades of working with clients with you
23:12
know with a lady with her with her son
23:15
and different aspects of Indio certain
23:17
things which was just like ah okay this
23:20
is something entirely different than
23:22
I’ve looked at over the decades so yeah
23:25
so I look forward to hearing the the
23:27
clap ritual and and how the
23:30
dying fire star is uploaded in life
23:34
okay I’m I’m excited to find out and let
23:37
you know thank you sure and ah this is
23:40
coming to me now and
23:42
if you can find the time to do it like
23:45
the last like five to ten minutes before
23:48
going to sleep at night
23:50
would be more potent because that that’s
23:51
a time when the the subconscious mind
23:54
becomes more activated
23:58
thank you so much for that Rex I just
24:02
with the Clapping with you I know
24:04
there’s a softness in the room that that
24:08
has entered in and I know when you had
24:11
mentioned about your chest there’s a
24:13
warmth here
24:16
but I love this is this is what we’re
24:18
all about we wanted just to give a small
24:20
snippet of information
24:23
um that we’re sending out to those who
24:25
are listening and who are interested in
24:27
the Oronoco flows and the nine star key
24:31
um and how what is their child star
24:33
number and what does it all mean so it
24:36
was simple you could see that Rex in
24:38
just a few minutes could access
24:40
something deep about you and relate it
24:45
back to early yeah early time oh yeah
24:48
and then give you something very simple
24:51
that’s a ritual he’s suggesting a ritual
24:55
that you do that is at a different level
24:58
it’s not just you know let’s clap our
25:00
hands
25:02
but I love that Rex when you took us
25:05
down to the
25:07
to the water
25:08
on the Oronoco the element of water and
25:12
she’s engaging in this
25:14
applauding of herself
25:17
so I think I just thought it was really
25:19
beautiful and it flowed really nicely so
25:21
for all those that are listening
25:24
um we’re gonna be posting more
25:26
information like this with interviews
25:30
um with individuals as well as in within
25:32
groups because Rex mentioned it really
25:35
the magic comes alive when we have more
25:38
than two or three people gathered and
25:41
the Orinoco and the elements start
25:43
coming alive in in working with our
25:46
beams like very like as you said
25:48
nourishing
25:51
our child star nourishing our soul
25:54
so I look forward to much more with you
25:57
Rex and you mentioned pleasure
25:59
Christiano and um do keep in touch
26:01
Kristen and um because yeah it’s a
26:05
learning curve for me it’s not like
26:08
and oftentimes it’s in the moments you
26:11
didn’t rituals just come to me to
26:12
suggest rather than you know this was
26:14
written down somewhere and I’m bringing
26:17
it up it’s just In This Moment being
26:18
with you
26:19
that
26:21
that thought crossed my mind and it fits
26:25
the name for a Star Plus it fits you
26:29
taking charge of your life because we
26:31
take charge of our lives with our hands
26:33
yeah you know like we we do things with
26:38
our hands and yeah and and so you bring
26:42
in the nine file right here
26:44
and if your imagination can stretch to
26:48
the Orinoco you’ll find that that has
26:51
another level of healing and blessing
26:53
that starts occurring for you so yeah I
26:57
can’t wait to learn more thank you my
26:59
