Spirit Library: Self Awareness (a message from Kate Spreckley)
The great shift in consciousness is well underway and as our consciousness continues to awaken and expand it becomes more and more challenging to exist within an old reality. Most of us currently incarnated on the Earth have chosen to heal the karmic patterns and cycles created and maintained by our human families, cultures, and societies.

Spirituality & Health; How Do We Pray for Animals? by Sarah Bowen
Interspecies healing practices include prayer circles and shawls.
Sometime in my early 30s, I eschewed prayer in favor of meditation. Most prayers in my birth religion felt too exclusive, used language that didn’t quite fit my belief system, called on something too specific, or offered an interpretation of Divinity that I didn’t share.

Wise Woman Herbal Ezine: Picking and Drying Herbs
by Susun Weed
In your herbal pharmacy you transform fresh and dried plants into herbal medicines. Learning to identify and use the common plants around you is easy and exciting, beneficial and safe. Making your own medicines saves you money if you follow the Wise Woman tradition of using local herbs, free for the taking.
Even one day’s work in field, forest, and kitchen can provide you with many years’ worth of medicines.When you make your own, you know for sure what’s in it, where it came from, when and how it was harvested, and how fresh and potent it is.

MIND CONTROL
“Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.”
— Ray Knight
“Eventually, meditation will make our mind calm, clear, and as concentrated as a laser which we can focus at will. This capacity of one-pointed attention is the essence of genius. When we have this mastery over attentionin everything we do, we have a genius for life itself: unshakable security, clear judgment, and deep personal relationships.”
— Eknath Easwaran
“The successful man is the average man, focused.”

Waiting
“Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.”
-Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)
I love this! Whistle while you work, and hustle while you wait! The world doesn’t stop moving just because we have to wait. We can work on so many things, even on our patience! These are times when we can accelerate our learning and growing by reading books, listening to audio recordings, and meditating. When we are committed to learning and growing, there is never a dull moment to be had!
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

The bigger your heart today, the more respect and cooperation will come your way. Make sure your kindness is genuine and from a genuine place. Then you’re virtually unassailable
