You Have The Power: Cat’s Angel Message for April 26, 2018 

 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.



  No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change. – Barbara De Angelis




426: Today’s number reflects the message that everything is okay, don’t worry and don’t stress. With the help of the Universe both our spiritual and earthly needs are being met, now and in the future. Having faith in Spirit and in your own power of manifestation creates a win-win situation. Take time each day to ground,center, and clear. Our ability to balance helps to keep our stress level down. This  means that we are more open to receiving guidance from both the divine and our own intuition. Take action accordingly and don’t  be afraid to draw on the power of YOU to help make things happen!




The Hawaiian Goddess Pele helps to empower us so that we can achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Ascended Master Saint Germain also assists in helping us with our goals by teaching us to persevere in our goal quests and Archangel Raguel helps to resolve conflicts. He promotes cooperation and harmony and is the champion of underdogs everywhere!




Our Sacred Stones include the soothing and calming energy of Agate helps to ground and balance and promotes inner strength. Red Chalcedony also gives us strength and adds the benefit of perseverance that sometimes need to reach our goals,






Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: April 26, 2018 “Are You Upset?”

Happy Thursday,






 


We all have the choice whether to engage in drama or to walk away from it. To some people every little upset is a big deal. They don’t forgive, forget or let go. Holding on to every “upset’ uses up time and energy that could be spent on better things. Word of advice? Don’t be one of these people. You have better things to do and besides….. your inner peace will thank you for it!

Spirituality & Healing: 3 Ways to Reduce Commitment Overload


There’s one of those expressions going around, the kind printed on signs, keychains and pillows: Let whatever you do today be enough. I want it to be enough, but it feels like there is always three times as much to do as can possibly get done in 24 hours. Feeling chronically overwhelmed is a signal that it’s time to reduce your commitments. Other symptoms may include backing out of plans, being perpetually exhausted, or not having time to devote to self-care. Let’s look at some radical ways to climb out from under the heap of commitments

MBG: A Meditation Exercise For People Who Simply Cannot ‘Quiet’ Their Minds


For thousands of years, people have used a simple breathing meditation to enhance spirituality and understand our place in the universe. This insight meditation also enhances creativity and clarity of thought while promoting a sense of peace and well-being. It encourages a sense of wonder, of awe, of curiosity the foundations of a happier and more meaningful life without a feeling of constriction, frustration, or shame that too often comes alongside trying meditation for the first time (or the thousandth).

MNN: What can wolf packs teach us about being better humans?


Where once humans regarded wolves as a fearsome foe, more of us now see them through another lens. Dog lovers recognize our pets’ ancestors when they see wolves at play, while ecologists see the positive impact of a top predator on an entire ecosystem. There’s more respect and understanding of wolves, but there’s still plenty of misconception.

Pioneer Thinking: Hawthorn Berry – The Heart Herb


Ancient Greeks used hawthorn berries for heart disease. The Greeks and Romans looked to hawthorn as a source of happiness and hope for the future. The berries were used by the Chinese for digestion and circulatory problems. Christian legend says that the crown of thorns that was placed upon the head of Christ was made from hawthorn. The crushed fruit or leaves were used as a poultice for their drawing powers to remove thorns and splinters for centuries in England. Native Americans believed that hawthorn was useful for rheumatism and heart problems.

Patheos-Pagan: Misconceptions About Shadow Work






















In the writings of Carl Jung, the Shadow is not purely positive or negative. While it contains a lot of really negative things about ourselves that we don’t want to look at, it’s not just purely negative things. It’s simply the parts of ourselves that we’re disowning or unconscious of that are outside of the light of our consciousness, or rather the Shadow of our consciousness.

Inner Journey: Seek Union Over Separation


“Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite.”

— Paul Ferrini


Our ego focuses on how we are different from the rest of the world. We connect with soul when we experience how we are the same.


Any time you separate yourself from other people or from situations, you know your personality is in control. At such times, shift your perspective to build connection and you will move into soul.


“As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate.”

— Wayne Dyer

Beliefnet: 6 ways To Adapt to Change


A man loses his job. A woman discovers her boyfriend was cheating on her. Another person discovered he has cancer at 49. We don’t like change. In fact, just thinking about the possibility of change gives some people the chills. No matter what, change makes us feel miserable and if we could high-tail from it, we would and frequently do. We are creatures of habit and feeling a sense of security is normal and when we are knocked on our butts with horrible news–we take a dive into a foreign land.

Changing  A Life: Cat’s Angel Message for April 25, 2018 


 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.




 Sometimes all it takes to change a life is to decide which beliefs do not serve you and to literally change your mind about those beliefs. – Joy Page




425: As we head towards the end of the month we are being asked to review our April theme: “We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.” Changes require courage and our spiritual helpers are gently reminding us that we are not alone. They are here to help with any changes that you are going through.


 You have grown enough to do what is necessary to make to make your life  better. Their message today is  “Never be afraid of change. Embrace it and it will embrace you.  Don’t fight these changes that are taking place as they are what you need to continue your growth cycle.”




 


The Welsh Goddess Cordelia and the Yoruban Goddess Oya  can both help us to meet life’s changes with courage and excitement. They ask that we try to find a new perspective about what lies ahead. Archangel Sandalphon is the job planner who listens to your requests and prayers and sends the angel or master best suited to assist you if you don’t know who to call on and Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us how to use the power of laughter when dealing with change. By not taking things so seriously we are able to find new avenues that will make change easier to manage.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Green Calcite. This stone allows us to dissolve rigid beliefs and outdated programming. It promotes mental balance, aids in communication and gently helps us to let go of the things that no longer serve us.




 






Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Wednesday,


Everyone goes through difficult or bad times. These things can bring despair and depression, causing us to  wonder why we are here and if it’s even worth it. Remember…. you are not alone (even though you may feel like it), you have great friends and family who care about you, and above all you really are an amazing person with amazing gifts to share. Even if you are in a good place right now, not everyone is and your awareness could help someone else!


If you need help you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255. You can even check out their website: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ for tips on helping a friend in need!

MBG: 3 Mindfulness Practices You Can Do With Your Kids


I remember it well. I was sitting at my family’s altar as my mom wore a monk’s robe, lighting incense and dedicating her stillness and silence to our Vietnamese ancestors. Meditation was an integral piece of my childhood. Needless to say, I didn’t have a conventional upbringing, at least not when it comes to spirituality

Birds & Blooms: The Backyard Benefits of a Moon Garden


Most of us notice how gorgeous gardens are when the sun is shining, but how often do we see what a garden looks like at night? Between dusk and dawn, when moonlight illuminates the plants, visitors can enjoy unique insight into a garden’s personality.


Night pollinators such as moths, native bees and bats are attracted to plants in a moon garden with white and pale-colored flowers that are intensely fragrant and produce a lot of nectar. As you walk through the moon garden, you will be able to watch these varied and industrious third-shift pollinators as they go about their important work.

Pioneer Thinking: Plants For May


Summer is finally on its way and the garden is beginning to burst with colour. Here are just a few of the plants you might like to choose to make your garden really stand out this month.


Aquilegia or Grannies Bonnet is a very common cottage garden plant that some people even consider a weed. However, there are some really beautiful varieties of this stunning little plant that should have a place in every herbaceous border. Nora Barlow is a very old variety that has tight buds of apple green, a colour which stays on the tip of the petals as they unfurl into a ball of pink and white flowers. This variety is not only pretty but also makes a good cut flower. There is a black version called Black Barlow

Inner Journey: Awareness Through Love and Fear


“There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love — the first fluttering of its silken wings — the first rising sound and breath of that wind which is so soon to sweep through the soul, to purify or to destroy.”

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Our inner journey takes us through the following stages relative to love and fear:


1.UNCONSCIOUS LOVE: When we are born, we exist as pure love but we are not conscious of our love.

2.UNCONSCIOUS FEAR: Our souls have set the stage for our evolution. As we grow, unconscious fears arise in our personalities that draw experiences to us that wound us.

3.CONSCIOUS FEAR: Our wounds bring pain and suffering that enable us to become conscious of our fears.

4.CONSCIOUS LOVE: When we’ve suffered enough pain, we are motivated to move through our fears to consciously experience the love that supports all.


“Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.”

— Alexander Smith

Practice


“Whoever perseveres will be crowned.” -Johann Gottfried von Herder (German author, 1744-1803)


Remember the old joke, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” The punchline is “Practice, practice, practice!” Funny, but oh, so true! How do we reach that peace of mind, how do we get to that spiritual place that we’re looking for? The answer is the same: Practice, practice, practice! We’re going to get better at seeing ourselves as who we really are the more we practice actually being it. Whatever practice you choose, practice on a regular basis, practice every day, twice a day or more so.

We Are An Ocean: Cat’s Angel Message for April 24, 2018 


 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.




Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. – Ryunosuke Satoro




424:  The Angels and Ascended Masters are here to help us and the key to their assistance is simple….just ask. If we don’t ask they are unable to step in without our permission to do so (it’s all about free will). Does this sound familiar? Good! By staying centered in our own power and in our beliefs it. helps the angels to provide more assistance.  Remember though it’s imperative that we do our part to help create the life we want. By doing so we add our energy to that of the our spiritual helpers and we are able manifest things more quickly. This is about teamwork and while you’re a powerful creator in your own right when we work together with the Universe there is nothing that can’t  be accomplished!




Connect with your angels today, ask for help or just talk with them. By strengthening your connections it becomes easier to manifest your desires into reality. If you are unsure of who to ask try Archangel Sandalphon. Part of his job is to deliver our messages to the angels, deities and masters best suited to meet specific needs and requests.




Our Sacred Stones for today are  the angel stones: Angelite, Celestite and Apophyllite enhance our communication with the angels or use Moldavite to connect with all ascended masters.




 Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Tuesday,






Life really is short and older you get the more you realize it. It’s easy to get caught up in things like drama, feuds or worry. Pretty soon we have wasted copious amounts of time on things that really don’t matter and have missed out on what does. Remember that some battles are worth fighting but most are not. Choose wisely and make the most of NOW.

MBG: 6 Myths & Misconceptions About Medical Marijuana


We’re currently in the middle of a cannabis revolution. Slowly but surely the plant which was once dispensed at U.S. pharmacies and used as a legitimate medicine as recently as the 1930s has fought its way back into a positive light after years of being maligned as a dangerous, corrupting influence. State by state we are joining the long list of countries who have embraced the healing powers of this plant and stopped jailing people for growing, selling, and using it.

Inner Journey: The Eyes of the Soul












Today, we want to share a passage from Martia Nelson’s book, ‘Coming Home’:

“My greatest teacher was the experience of living in split realities: personality and true self. Personality is our daily companion, our conscious self that sees the world through the eyes of limitation and dutifully keeps us informed about what we can and cannot do. True self, on the other hand, patiently stands by, offering the unwavering knowledge that a state of vibrant well- being and unlimited possibility is our true nature, a birthright that can be lived if we choose to do so. … True self simply refers to the aspect of our being that is completely aware of its expanded nature no matter what we may be experiencing at the time.”


Whenever we feel constrained, fearful, unworthy, inadequate or anything we deem to be negative, we have identified with our personality. We can always choose to view the same situation from the perspective of our soul.


“As a Witness, you begin to discover that you are not that which you have been observing; you are not those things that you have been noticing about your body. Instead, you are the noticer.”

— Wayne Dyer

Today’s Recipe: Green Tea Infused Edamame


Edamame is a delicious young soybean, often eaten straight out of the pods. You can find them in the frozen section of any grocery store, in the pod or shelled. I prefer to eat them from the pod; I find it more fun and much more tasty. Cooking the pods in a pot of boiling green tea gives it a nice dimension, aroma, and lovely texture.

Practice


“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” ~-Mahatma Gandhi


Our spiritual practice has purpose. It helps us to learn and grow and feel our connection with the Divine. And it also helps to lift the spiritual energy of the whole planet! The more people who devote time to spiritual practice, the better off our world will be. So, there are two things we can each do, every day, to help ourselves and each other.


1. Continue regular spiritual practices. This includes prayer, meditation, reading spiritual works, serving others, and giving of our time and talents.

2. Encourage others to spend time pursuing their own spiritual practices. This may mean babysitting some youngsters so their mother can spend some time in silence, or sending enlightening e-mails on to friends!

Beliefnet: Daily Blessings in Disguise


There are so many expectations that are packed into a day. From getting the kids to school in the morning to making a decision as to what�s for dinner, each day seems to have an endless list of to-do�s. And the hustle and bustle infiltrates a cloud that engulfs our day-to-day, making it difficult to come up for air and recognize the many blessings that embody our life each day. In most cases, we take these blessings for granted because they�ve become second nature to us and have become a necessary standard of life. However, it�s important to take a moment each day and remember the small things.

If we don’t ask they are unable to step in without our permission to do so. Once we have asked for their assistance we must also do our part to make things happen and keep the energy flowing. Take opportunities when they present themselves and stay strong in your faith in the universe and in yourself.  Remember that the key lies within you.  By doing your best to turn negatives into positives and embracing life with gratitude you will find that door open, good things gravitate your way and miracles happen!






Simply call upon your spiritual helpers today and ask for what you need. Archangel Jophiel helps us to transform our thoughts, Maitreya (Laughing Buddha) helps us find joy and peace and Our Lady of Compassion Kuan Yin promotes loving self care.




Our Sacred Stones for today are angel stones: Angelite, Celestite and Apophyllite enhance our communication with the angels or use Moldavite to connect with all ascended masters.








Bright blessings for a magickal day!
