Inner Journey: OPENING THE HEART

“Everything is made of light; everything is alive. The Great Mystery of life has little to do with intelligence. The universe is not an intellectual process. The intellect is helpful; but our hearts are the wiser partof ourselves.”
— Mellen-Thomas Benedict

Heart is a word that refers to many different levels of our being. Essentially, it is the love aspect of soul, capable of making direct, intuitive contact. Soul love is not emotional; it is highly impersonal and intelligent, capable of grasping the essenceof someone or something without any projection on our part.

Appreciation significantly turns on the heart. Appreciation is not an emotion that arises spontaneously, but a soul quality we can choose. The more often we choose to be appreciative, the easier this choice becomes and the more frequently our heart opensto give and receive love.

“If you open your heart, love opens your mind.”
— Charles John Quarto

“What we must decide is perhaps how we are valuable, rather than how valuable we are.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)

When we learn about the world we learn about our self. Any knowledge, any discovery, teaches us more about who we are. And then we can decide just how we can help, how we can serve, how we can be of value to the world.

He can also help to diffuse unpleasant situations that can arise as we go through change and transformation. Since he helps us heal through color, pay attention to the colors that draw you or feel relevant.

The Greek Goddess Persephone teaches us how to liberate ourselves from the things that are holding us back so that we can forge ahead on a new path.

Today’s Message: Thank You Universe

530: Today the angels would like us to know that they’re proud of us. In the last month, we have faced change and made positive life choices and important decisions that will help us navigate our path. We have learned to embrace our faith which has given us the confidence to trust in our intuition and move forward with optimism and purpose. While these things have empowered us it has also been a challenge. These things have also strengthened our connection and relationship with the Universe and our spiritual helpers. We have learned that we can call on them when we need to. Take a moment today to offer gratitude to the Universe for life, for love, and all the blessings that surround you. Then take a ME day to restore and center….. You’ve earned it!

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Jophiel the angel of Illumination and wisdom, fills us with beautiful, loving thoughts and uplifting energy which helps us to create a fresh approach to life. Jophiel tells us that goodness and beauty surround us all the time. By keeping ourselves open to receiving these blessings it draws the things we need directly to us. This is a reminder that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp and by taking the time to “smell the roses” the attitude of gratitude flows more easily.

The Ascended Master Vywamus encourages us to continuously and consciously seek inspiration through the discovery and rediscovery of our own natural abilities and talents. He teaches us that healing can be found in change. If something is holding you back he can teach you how to let it go or let it be so you can continue moving forward.

The Hindu Goddess Lakshmi teaches us that good things happen when we embrace the world with a grateful and appreciative heart. She tells us ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things but first you must get out of your own way! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”,

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Aquamarine balance’s emotions that can become frayed during the changes that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life. This stone also shields the aura, aligns the chakras, and promotes communication from the higher realms.

Celestite which promotes spiritual development and teaches us to reach for personal enlightenment and helps us to find peace within. It also helps us to embrace new experiences while blending instinct and intellect to create balance and harmony while providing strength and calm.

While Garnet is best known as a stone of protection it can benefit the use of our natural talents as well. It helps us to overcome any resistance we may have in using our gifts and promotes self-confidence. Garnet removes what no longer serves and mental self-sabotage which opens the doors to new growth and personal evolution. It promotes balance and clears and re-energizes the chakras.

Today’s Message: Teaching By Example

529: In the last few days the universe has been reminding us about faith and how it enhances our power as a creator and our overall sense of self. As we prepare to close out the month of May the angels are sending us the following message: ” The faith you have in yourself and in the Divine plays an important part in the changes that you are making. These changes will not only help you and your loved ones they will also shed light on your divine purpose. Teach by example that faith helps to create positive change and self-empowerment.”

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Raphael teaches us that it is through our spiritual journey that we can heal our selves and our lives and regain our self confidence and faith. This opens our spiritual eyes so that we may see what we have and how blessed we truly are as it teaches us how to make room for new things through the clearing out process. He helps to clear the way so that we can achieve balance by removing the blocks associated with giving and receiving by promoting flexibility in thinking and attitude.

The Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble staying present and focused in the now. He teaches us the importance of putting aside what we cannot control so that we are free to think about other things. He reminds us that it is our faith that keeps us grounded so that we can embrace both the patience and the clear decision making needed to make things happen.

The Egyptian goddess Hathor helps us to find the answer to the question “How shall I live my life?” She tells us that every moment gives us opportunities for growth. ” When you are filled with indecision you move away from yourself and your power as a creator. Indecision silences you ability to hear your own inner wisdom. If you need my help just ask and I will shower you with energy that will tip the scales in the direction of what you desire.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Pink Banded Agate: This stone is a member of the Botswana Agate family. It teaches us how to look at our lives and see the big picture, as it helps us to use our creative problem-solving skills through focus and attention to detail. Pink Banded Agate also helps us to feel good about ourselves and is said to help ease stress and anxiety.

The markings on Picture Jasper make this stone excellent for creative visualization and inspiration. It helps us to see the bigger picture and the part we play in it. It can also help relieve and release deep or hidden fear and grief.

Rose Quartz brings us inner peace and harmony which is essential to increasing our faith. The energy of this stone is very soothing and can help calm frazzled nerves. It helps to promote the softer, move loving view that we need to embrace gratitude, it soothes and clears the emotions and fills us with loving compassion. It works with the heart chakra to gently wash away negative feelings that we harbor against ourselves and lifts the emotions to promote joy and peace. It opens our heart and shows us the love in relationships and situations, which helps us find a balancing point Use this gentle stone to shower yourself with loving care and to send healing to those little places that most need it.

Eclipses tend to bring about events and opportunities that enable us to let go of aspects of ourselves and our past that we have outgrown. As such we are able to anchor in the gifts and wisdom we have gained without needing to repeat the past. It is important that we take notice of what is emerging for us, the messages, the insights and the clarity as events occurring now are accelerating our transformation.

Daily Wisdom

Trust
“The soul and spirit that animates and keeps up society is mutual trust.”

-Robert South (1634-1716)

As human beings we really do rely on each other. There are many situations where we have no choice but to trust each other. When we drive on the freeway, for example, we trust that each driver will adhere to the traffic laws and do his or her best to avoid an accident. We trust that when we wait for a bus, that the bus will show up approximately when the schedule says it will do so. Parents trust schools to educate their children, and schools trust parents to get the kids to school on time. Customers trust businesses to provide the products they need, and business trust their customers to keep coming back when they give good service. Love makes the world go ‘round, but trust definitely makes society go ’round!

The Abundance of Abundance: Cat’s Angel Message for May 28, 2021

The Abundance of Abundance: Cat’s Angel Message for May 28, 2021

____________________________

The only obstacle to abundance is lack of faith. ~Cat

_____________________________

Today’s Message: The Abundance of Abundance

528: Having faith is a powerful thing. It increases our feelings of security, and our power as a creator as well as opening the doors to abundance. One of the keys to manifesting abundance lies in remembering that it comes in many forms and can be completely unexpected or come from sources never considered. These blessings of abundance have an uncanny way of showing up in the areas we need them whether we are currently aware of them or not. So when a blessing shows up somewhere unexpected shake hands with it and invite it in for tea. This allows new doors and pathways to open up and effectively turns on the porch light so that new forms of abundance can find you.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Raziel assists us in all forms of manifestation. This includes our ‘Tiny Miracles” which he helps bring forward into the light. He tells us that growth and freedom can be found when we let go of our limiting self-beliefs and fears which hold us back from achieving and creating the life we want. He says ” Expand your mind and you will manifest prosperity and abundance on all levels.”

The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to stop fighting the things that we have no control over, which blocks our problem solving and creative flow. Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes

The Hindu god Ganesh helps to remove the roadblocks and other obstacles from our path. Ganesh wants to help us succeed with our dreams and goals and his loving energy helps make this happen. He teaches us that our barriers are quite often self-imposed. He tells us “Never be afraid to move forward or to let go of what no longer serves you or brings you joy.” While doing this may seem difficult or even impossible your effort will produce beneficial cleansing and healing.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Black Banded Agate which helps us start new things, embrace new beginnings and projects. It promotes the creativity needed to make things happen.

Chrysanthemum Stone, which used in conjunction with Ganesh, can help to remove obstacles from our path. Since obstacles tend to pop up during periods of change, this stone promotes harmony and the balance we need to help our forward progress.

Galena helps us to stay grounded and centered. It helps to open the mind as it dissolves self-limiting thoughts from our past that can get in our way during the manifestation process.

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Cat

Happy Friday,

Don’t you love it when something good happens that you weren’t expecting or didn’t know that you were looking for? The truth is that the best things tend to happen if we let things be and go about our business. The universe knows what we need and loves to send unexpected blessings. Take a moment to thank the universe for the good things headed your way.

MBG: How The Full Moon Will Affect You Based On Your Sign, From Astrologers

Not only is there a doozy of a full moon coming on May 26th, but it’s also a lunar eclipse and the largest supermoon of 2021. This is a significant astrological event, and like any cosmic happening, it’s going to affect people differently depending on their sign. Here, the AstroTwins share their take on what each sign can expect:

EarthSky News: Virgo? Here’s Your Constellation

Virgo the Maiden fully returns to the east at nightfall by late April. By late May, Virgo is well up in the evening. You’ll find Virgo in the evening sky into June and July, too. Then by late August or September, Virgo begins her descent in the west into the glow of evening twilight. In other words, now is the time to watch for Virgo. How can you see her?

Inner Journey: BREAK OUT OF ROUTINE

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
— Nietzsche

Where do you need to do some ‘out of the box’ thinking and living?

We are creatures of habit, of patterns. While initially the habits may have served us, they may now be limiting our ability to experience more of life.

What aspect of your life has become routine? How might you bring new life to it? Do some outrageous dreaming! Then do something completely different today.

“When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.”
— George Washington Carver

A Note from the Universe

You see prayers that lack conviction, confidence, and that end in question marks like, “Can I? May I? Will I?” are always answered with a happy face: “Sure! You bet! No question!”

However, if you want action instead of answers… Prayers of declaration and exclamation, especially those that end in “So be it! Hallelujah! Pronto my lofty companion!” conjure up the magic.

It’s just how the system was set up.

Pronto my lofty companion!

Trust
“Those who trust us, educate us.”

-George Eliot, 1874

We learn that to be worthy of trust, or trustworthy, is a good feeling. It’s an honor, really, to have earned someone’s trust. We experience the responsibility that comes with that trust, and we fulfill it, because trust is something we know that we can lose as well as gain.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Strength

Although it may be a peaceful day, that calm may all be on the surface. If dissatisfaction or anger is brewing at depth, there could be thoughts or fantasies of revenge or anger to fuel the bad feelings. Face everyone and everything with great care and respect. You have more than enough strength to deal with whatever comes up. Obviously, don’t bait or antagonize anyone. Kindness wins out
