Mind Body Green: How To Take Your Meditation Outdoors

It wasn’t until late in my life that I realized the power and influence of meditative movement on cultivating a healthy mindset. Perhaps it was just ignorance, or maybe I just was not ready. The prevailing philosophy, which works for many, is to sit down and meditate. As a self-classified Type A personality, calming my mind and focus has never come very easily, so adjusting to the silence and physical inactivity required for meditation proved ineffective.

Beliefnet: 6 Powerful Forgiveness Tips

Science is backing up the power of forgiveness. Researchers have found when we forgive anxiety is reduced, the immune system is stronger, and there was an increase of energy.

A Bountiful Moment

I would rather attempt to do something great and fail than attempt to do nothing and succeed.  ~Robert H. Schuller

Daily Thought: Getting caught in the mediocrity of life is easy. There is no effort or reward to just waking and living and allowing the day to drive your actions and reactions. Personal well-being occurs when you have set goals and become determined to achieve what you believe to be your right course. Maintain your actions by remembering that your goals are important to achieve. That by you getting better everyone and everything around you will grow too.

Daily Practice: Recommit to the goals you have set and begun to achieve. Do not allow a moment of pause or distraction from others to derail what it is you have thought about, planned for, and begun to act on. Stay focused. Re-evaluate, re-establish, and re-commit. What do you need to do next to maintain the forward momentum that you have already started?

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey: Questions That Aren’t Helpful

“We accept many notions because they seem to be the logical answers to our questions. But have we asked the right questions?”
— Harold L. Klawans

Sometimes we ask questions for which we really don’t want the answer! Nonetheless, when we ask a question, our subconscious minds will get to work to answer us.

Here are some examples of questions we want to avoid:
•What’s wrong with me?
•How long could this take?
•What could go wrong?
•How much trouble could it be?
•How hard could it be?

Asking questions can be empowering – as long as they’re smart questions!

“The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.”
— Anthony Jay

It’s Your Creation: Cat’s Angel Message for March 27, 2018

It’s Your Creation: Cat’s Angel Message for March 27, 2018 

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.


 

 The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time. – don Miguel Ruiz

327: Spring is the season of new beginnings,  new growth and change, all of which is are integral parts of our path. So how do you know if you are on the right path and headed in the right direction? First of all remember that everyone’s path is unique and you are truly the only one who knows what’s best for you. Walking your path involves courage, trust in Spirit, ourselves and our own inner magick. We are being reminded that our intuition is a valuable gift. We are all able to discern right from wrong, what feels right and what doesn’t and what brings us joy. Now add to that your intuitive gifts and you’ll find your path and new paths opening up before you .  If you are unsure of your next “step” take some time to think about or meditate on where you want to be then move forward making the necessary adjustments as you go. Allow yourself to move forward with confidence, set you intentions high and know that the the Universe is there to help you.

 

 

The combination of Archangel Michael and Ascended Master Saint Germain provides direction, courage and motivation as we travel along our path. Both also offer protection,  Michael on all levels and Germain on the psychic. Between these two they definitely have you covered. The Hindu Goddess Kali oversees the ending of cycles and personal transformation. Kali’s energy is like a powerful storm that clears away what we no longer need and replaces it with focus for new beginnings, and the courage and motivation we need to see things through.


Our Sacred Stones for today:  Turquoise brings mental and spiritual clarity which is essential to staying on track with our path, Moonstone helps to combat repeated cycles and patterns that keep us from moving forward so that we can embrace change and new beginnings. Garnet brings courage and the awareness of change and how to go with the flow and Hessonite Garnet brings courage where new challenges arise.

Thought For The Day: March 27, 2018 “Unique Individuals”

Happy Tuesday,

While our thought for the day is about art this can also apply to to how we present ourselves. We are all unique individuals or in other words “unique art”.We all have flaws and things we wish we could change. When we are down on ourselves that’s what the world sees. But when we allow our true inner beauty (yes guys, this applies to you too!) to shine through this is what the world will remember! Now let’s get out there and sparkle!

Mind Body Green: How Being Present In Your Grief Can Help You Move Beyond It

The fabric of humanity is made of many threads of emotional experience. One of those is grief. None of us are exempt from the grips of grief, and at some point on the journey of life, we’ll be faced with the death of a dear friend, parent, pet, spouse, or child. And actually, it’s this shared sense of grief that exists as the common denominator between human hearts. Grief penetrates the depths of our hearts, sinking into the recesses of our inner life. The path of mindfulness offers us a powerful way to turn toward our darkness to reignite our light for living.

Patheos-Pagan: Building a Home Shrine

I spent the weekend building a home shrine. All this time and I’ve never really had one, at least not intentionally. There are plenty of sacred spaces in the house, don’t get me wrong. I have special tabletops and shelves that tend to accumulate meaningful objects, and I have a working altar in my bedroom. Our coven’s altar is erected fresh every time we have circle. I also maintain an altar to Freya, so it’s not that I’m necessarily lacking in sacred space.

Inner Journey: Imagine Your ideal Future

“Your imagination is your preview to life’s coming attractions.”
— Albert Einstein

If you were to create an ideal future for yourself, what would it be like?

All things that now exist in form were once simply ideas in consciousness. We each hold the power to manifest different circumstances for our lives. If we wish to manifest a new reality for ourselves, we need to consistently focus our imagination on the ideals we seek to realize.

Remember to explore your ideal in terms of qualities, not people or things. What qualities do you most want in life? Freedom? Respect? Playfulness? Abundance? Whatever qualities you seek, imagine experiencing them now and be open to new ways to discover those qualities appearing in your life.

“Change is created by those whose imaginations are bigger than their circumstances”
— Unknown source

MNN: Why ‘lazy’ lawn mowers are heroes for bees

There’s no shame in an unmowed lawn. Not only can wild yards and gardens look better than commonly believed, but cutting back on cutting grass can save significant time, energy and money. According to a new study, it could even help save bees.

Led by ecologist Susannah Lerman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the U.S. Forest Service, the study examined how homeowners can boost bee habitat with their lawn-care habits. Mowing every other week seems to be the sweet spot.

Making The Effort: Cat’s Angel Message for March 26, 2018

Making The Effort: Cat’s Angel Message for March 26, 2018 

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.


 If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession. – Carlos Castaneda

326: One of the jobs that our angels perform is to insure that our needs are being met. While sometimes it may not feel like it, in all reality it is. In today’s society people tend to want more than they need to live. If you look around you can probably find a surplus of THINGS that you could do without. (I know I can) When the angels tell us that they are making sure sure our needs are met they are speaking of the necessities. Money to pay our bills, food, shelter, clothing etc. They are here to assist, not to provide excess. If we aspire to have more then we need we must to do our part to make it happen. Working with angels, ascended masters etc. is a partnership! Today we are reminded that our needs truly are being met. Take a moment to offer gratitude for life and for what you have!

Archangel Uriel can help us in any area of life. One of his powers lies in helping us to solve problems that crop up unexpectedly. He shows us the best way to work through them so that we free up our energy and invite progress. The Hindu deities Ganesh and Green Tara can also help. Ganesh helps us to avoid and remove any obstacles that fall into our path. He teaches us that such things are usually self imposed and that the core of these issues lies in our fear of moving forward. Green Tara who is sometimes called the “speedy ” goddess helps us when we need emergency aid, whether it’s spiritual or physical assistance, or money issues she hears and answers all requests.


Our Sacred Stones for today are: Nebula Stone which allows you to see the value of the things around you and promotes the appreciation of what you have , Labradorite which allows magic to happen, reduces stress and anxiety while letting you see all the possible solutions and  Chrysoprase helps us to patterns and cycles that are holding us back and how to break them.

Thought For The Day: March 26, 2018 “Keeping Things Simple”

Happy Monday,

As human beings we tend to over think and make things more complicated than they need to be.  Just look at the list below. It all comes down to communication. So before you get mad, because someone doesn’t understand you or can’t read you mind, just ask yourself this question ” Have I communicated my needs, wants or desires clearly?” Never assume that others “just know” Remember that communication reduces complication.

Falling Apart To Fall Together: Cat’s Angel Message for March 25, 2018

Falling Apart To Fall Together: Cat’s Angel Message for March 25, 2018 

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.


 

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. – Marilyn Monroe

 325:  Change is an important part of life. It can happen gradually or drop in out of the blue. To promote our own growth we need to be willing to embrace change no matter how or when it happens. By fighting these changes we find ourselves stuck emotionally, mentally and spiritually. However, when we allow change to happen it invites new things and people into our lives. This bring new growth and opportunities that will help us as we create our path If the proverbial winds of change are blowing through your life the Angels and Ascended Masters are sending you this message: ” These changes are for the best even though some may be difficult to accept or seem scary.. We are here to make sure that you and your loved ones are safe and cared for during this time. We are surrounding you with protective,  peaceful energy and are helping to take away any pain, fear or negativity that you may be experiencing.”

 

Change comes in many forms and we have some powerful helpers on our side. Archangel Azrael not only helps comfort the dying and help them to cross over, he also helps the grieving to cope with the changes and feelings that losing a loved one creates. Archangel Jeremiel helps us in all areas of life changes, while Archangel Michael surrounds us with protection. The Celtic Goddess Cordelia also assists with life changes and helps us to see, feel and find joy in the new process and The Ascended Master El Morya helps to stop negative thought patterns and the energy they generate. He teaches us how to stay centered and focused on our commitment to create a better life for ourselves.


Sacred Stones that help with change are Smokey Quartz, this stone helps keep our perspective grounded while it removes fear of change and promotes awareness of your dreams and goals. Iolite gently eases the pain that change can bring and helps us to live in the moment and Crocoite helps ease the bigger shifts of change like death or divorce by soothing the emotions and helping us to cope

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.


 

 We have a choice – we can both think and feel, using our heads and our hearts. – Yakov Smirnoff

324:  The more we work with the angels and the ascended masters the stronger our connection with them becomes. The angels/ascended masters send us messages every day. It’s our job to allow ourselves to be open to receiving them. Our own intuition works the same way, the more we listen to it the greater our faith in ourselves becomes. Today we are being asked to be open to communication on all levels. If you’re not sure of a message ask for clarification. Never be afraid of the message or an answer, and even if it’s not what we wanted to hear it is sent with love and the desire on the angels part to help us be our best!

You can call upon any Archangel or Ascended Master at anytime for assistance. A few specific ones include Archangel Haniel who helps us to access our intuition and our other unique gifts and Archangel Michael  helps us by promoting courage confidence. The Ascended Master Maitreya helps to bring joy and laughter to our lives. He teaches us that these things bring greater clarity and a new perspective.


Technically any stone or crystal that is special to you can be used to connect to the Divine realms so use your favorite one today, or you can use Angelite, Apophyllite or Celestite to connect to the angels or Moldavite for the Ascended Masters. If you are still undecided Rose Quartz is always a good choice!

A Bountiful Moment:

Whatever happens to me today will prove to be a beautiful blessing.

Daily Thought: Going with the flow sometimes takes effort. We are all creatures of habit and have a need to control. We feel safe and comfortable when things stay the same. But going with the flow of the day can provide a view of opportunities that are present and missed. Don’t cloud your daily thinking with constant struggle to have things the same. Sometimes you need to take a step back, release control, and just let good things happen.

Daily Practice: Change your habits today. Do something that is out of your normal schedule. Go home from work a different way, skip watching the news or some other program that is a habit. While you are doing that look at all the new things that are different from the norm. Appreciate and enjoy them.

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey: Why? Why? Why?
“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
— Joan Baez

Asking ourselves ‘why?’ helps us delve deeply into our main motives — why we do what we do. This process helps us go deeper into our reasoning, habits and unconscious beliefs. Once we become aware of our underlying motives, we can choose to change them, if we wish.

Regularly ask yourself, ‘Why am I…?’ Listen closely for the answer that surfaces in your mind, and write it down. Now look at your answer and ask why again. Continue with this process to reach the true source of your motivation.

“Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else….”
— Archibald Alexander

The Quiet Voice: Cat’s Angel Message for March 23, 2018

The Quiet Voice: Cat’s Angel Message for March 23, 2018 

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.


My quiet voice speaks the loudest. – Richard Carlson


 323:  Contrary to popular belief we do not necessarily need to be a “cheerleader” to inspire others. The dictionary describes inspire as ” to fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative”. While we sometimes need to open the door and let our inner cheerleader out more often than not the quiet approach is just as effective. Quietly inspiring others is an artform of great value. Doing things (even small things) that bring joy or peace to others, leading by positive example or even simply offering assistance (without making a big production of it) are all good ways to inspire others. They in turn will do the same or similar for someone else. By simply being cheerful, helpful and positive we share our light. Today the Universe wants to thank us for doing our part and quietly inspiring those around us!

The following Angels and Ascended Masters are assisting us today. Archangels Zadkiel and Michael work together to replace negative energies with faith and compassion. Zadkiel also helps us to see and share our Divine light. Mother Mary offers assistance in expanding our wisdom in regards to helping other particularly children. Melchizedek helps to rearrange unpleasant situations and shows the best way to assist those concerned through use of color therapy (chakras, crystals, reiki etc) and the Celtic Goddess Brigid provides inspiration, from creative projects to creative thinking she touches all areas with warm and loving energy.


Our Sacred Stones for today are:  Stilbite which helps us to find creative solutions to problems and enhances our intuition so that we can more effectively offer assistance. Turquoise promotes creative expression which allows to see the beauty in everything while strengthening our communication process and tempering our words with wisdom.


Bright blessings for a magickal day! Cat
