Our processes of awakening, healing and growth have greatly accelerated this year and a deeper understanding of what is required to change has emerged. In this final week of October, we are preparing for even more expansion which begins with the Eclipse season in November. Eclipses offer quantum leaps in our growth as they expand our consciousness beyond what we have previously known

Daily Good: For Love of Nectar: The Dazzling Sunbirds of India
When the sun is out in India, and if one is lucky to have access to a dense patch of native trees in flagrant, fragrant bloom, one is quite likely to see darting sunbirds. Sunbirds are to India what hummingbirds are to the Americas. Small birds with curved beaks that guzzle flower nectar.

Quartz Crystal Sphere
This item can be fairly pricey and not really necessary for a beginner. It can be used for scrying or be the centerpiece for a full moon ritual. The sphere symbolizes the Goddess. Check out your local Gem and Mineral show if you feel like buying one is necessary.

Elephant Journal: How I Cleanse my 30-year-old Tarot Deck—8 Steps.
I’ve done tarot for more than 30 years with this deck and it was my first.
It is special to me and one of the longest things I’ve had in my possession. I say I use it in a non-tradition way. It doesn’t tell me the future and it doesn’t allow me to communicate with the dead. It’s a way for me to connect to another’s energy.

Inner Journey:
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 attention in 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.”

A Note from the Universe
A few unknown facts observed to be mostly true by wise old souls,
- What folks claim to want less of – like work, challenges, and help – they actually want more of.
- Those who say, “I don’t know what to do,” usually do know what to do.
- And people who continue to show up in spite of self-doubt, confusion, and disappointment rock the world.
Cool, huh?
I don’t know what to do,

Motivation
“We must each find our separate meaning in the persuasion of our days until we meet in the meaning of the world.”
-Christopher Fry
On the surface, it looks like we are so very different. Men and women, different ages, races, cultures, backgrounds. Yet inside, we are so very much the same. We all search for meaning, we all long for peace, we all seek happiness. Our motivations are very similar.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Moon
It’s possible that you’re putting yourself under more stress and pressure than anyone or anything else going on around you. It’s not necessary to beat yourself up emotionally like this. Things are fine and you can make things even better if you curtail the urge to obsessively dwell on only what and who is letting you down. Be your own best friend and give yourself credit for what you’re doing right
