The Creative Mind: Cat’s Angel Message for August 2, 2019

August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!



The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. – Carl Jung




82: One of this month’s keywords is “Creative”. Most people don’t connect creative energy with prosperity and abundance. The focus is on the lack of material things  and the absence of them them. The creative thinking person combines the attitude of gratitude with new ways to solve the issue of lack.  We can always call upon the Angels for assistance although we must remember that they will supply us with only what we need. We are being reminded today that our creative energy is enhanced through faith in ourselves, our abilities and in the Universe. If we desire more then we must do our part to get the manifestation process rolling. However, by working together with the Universe the wheels continue to turn and things move in our favor. Take an active roll in creating your lives, stay open to receiving new ideas and let your creativity run wild!




    

  • 

      

    • Archangel Jophiel reminds 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. She reminds us that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp.
      • 

    

    • 



 


    

  • 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 set aside things we have no control over.
    • 



 


 


    

  •  The Egyptian goddess Hathor asks us to consider the question “How shall I live my life?” In our hearts lives the truth of who we are and what we need to live a fulfilling life. Her message today is “ Indecision can be your enemy, whose goal is keep you distracted and from hearing the voice of your heart Remember that each moment gives you the opportunity to learn and grow. It is what you were made for!” 
    • 



 


 




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  • Carnelian is used for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.
    • 

  •   Ametrine, a combination of amethyst and citrine, helps to release blocks like negative emotional programing. It also encourages growth while helping us to explore all possibilities and find creative solutions.
    • 

  • Aventurine teaches us how to give and receive gracefully. Both are necessary for healthy relationships with self and others and it allows the Universe to care for you. It  also helps to dispel the anger and irritation that sometimes arise when we are stuck in the “what I lack” mind loop.
    • 





Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Wise Woman Herbal: Lammas by Susun Weed


The least known of the eight major Pagan holy days is Lammas, celebrated on the first of August. (The other primary holy days are the Summer and Winter Solstices, the Spring and Fall Equinoxes, and the Cross Quarter Days of Imbolc and Beltane.)


Lammas, or “Loaf Mass,” is the Feast of the First Harvest, the Feast of Bread. This Holy Day honors the women who created agriculture and bred the crops we cultivate, especially the grains, or corn. In the British Isles, celebrants make corn dollies from the last of the newly-harvested wheat.

“Once upon a Lammas Night

When corn rigs are bonny,

Beneath the Moon’s unclouded light,

I held awhile to Annie…

The time went by with careless heed

Between the late and early,

With small persuasion she agreed

To see me through the barley…

Corn rigs and barley rigs,

Corn rigs are bonny!

I’ll not forget that happy night

Among the rigs with Annie!”

EarthSky News: Spot the young moon in early August


From most of the world on August 1, 2019, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll see the waxing crescent moon after sunset. After all, the new moon happens on August 1, 2019, at 3:12 UTC; translate UTC to your time. At that instant of new moon, according to astronomers’ definitions, the old moon becomes a young moon again, as the moon transitions out of the morning sky and into evening sky.

Patheos-Pagan: 5 Simple Ways to Bring Lammas to Our Modern Lives


Lammas. Probably one of the most overlooked of Pagan and Heathen holidays – and it’s not the only option this time of year. We don’t know when it was first celebrated, but it certainly goes as far back as early medieval England. There, it was a celebration of the wheat harvest. It was also the time that tenants would present their rent payments to the landlord – usually in the form of wheat.

Inner Journey:


TRUST IN ABUNDANCE


“Once, when we were discussing a world peace project with my teacher, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, somebody asked him, ‘Where is all the money going to come from?’ And he replied without hesitation, ‘From wherever it is atthe moment.'”

— Deepak Chopra


How can you open to greater trust that you’ll always have what you need?


Fear, doubt, anxiety and disbelief all serve to repel abundance from us. Faith, love and gratitude for the gifts of our lives keep energy and abundance flowing. The more we trust in our well being, the more it will be realized.


“Manifestation is an act of trust. It is the soul pouring itself out into its world, like a fisherman casting a net to gather in the fish he seeks; with each cast properly made, we will bring what we need to us, but firstwe must hurl ourselves into the depths without knowing just what lies beneath us.”

— David Spangler

Intuition


“Instinct is the nose of the mind.”

-Madame De Girardin


I love this! The nose doesn’t “think” – it just senses- our brain then translates what scent is coming through. Our instinct is the same way- sometimes we don’t know why we know something, but we just do. So rather than try to translate or decipher this information in the brain, it might do us well to just go with it every once in awhile, and find out just where our intuition leads us.

Daily Tarot: Death


There’s a sense of security in what is old, and with something new coming into your life it’s natural to be a bit afraid. Give this new situation a chance and give yourself time to get comfortable with the new conditions. It could be as simple as getting your hair cut or changing your glasses frames, but it could be much bigger than that

  • Clearing the way for new blessings. If it is holding you back or no longer works for you let it go.
    • 

  • Embrace the changes that bring new blessings and opportunities. Even small things can have a big impact, so use the stepping stones that the Universe provides.

In the Hindu religious tradition, the tulsi, or holy basil, plant serves both as an important symbol and also as a popular medicinal remedy. As a symbol, the plant is worshiped in the morning and evening by Hindus everywhere; and the plant itself serves as an herbal remedy for a lot of common ailments in the ancient Indian Ayurvedic system of healthcare.

What if our children’s children could never lay eyes on wild country because it is already destroyed? Spending time in the wild is not a past-time, the narrator tells us, rather it is a biological necessity like water, air and food. The video ends on a hopeful note, pointing out that thousands of people are spending their time working to leave their areas better than when they arrived. { read more } http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=8376

Elephant Journal: 5 Ways to Hold Space for Someone who is Struggling.


I can’t help but wonder if we’ve been doing it all wrong.

It’s hard to know how to truly show up for someone and hold space. The term, “holding space,” if I’m honest, had started to become a bit of an eye roll for me with its recent popularity in the personal development and coaching world. Just like authenticity had, it felt like everyone was dropping this expression without really thinking of the power behind it.

Herbal Muse: How to Use Chia Seed


For thousands of years, the tiny seed was a staple source of nutrition and long-lasting energy for the Mayans, Incans and Aztecs, who gave the plant its common name from a Nahuatl word that means “strength.” Warriors and traders took the seed along while traveling long distances to suppress hunger during times of scarcity but still guarantee endurance. In fact, it was often referred to as “Indian running food.” The Aztecs placed such a high value on the seed that it was even used as a form of currency.

Momus was the god of many things including satire, mockery, poets, writers, blame, and criticism.

He is also the twin of Oizys, the misery goddess.

Inner Journey:


WHAT BLOCKS CONNECTION?


“People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”

— Joseph F. Newton


We experience soul when we really connect with life — when we stop and consciously experience what is happening.


We lose soul with:

• resistance – to anyone or anything

• superficiality – we avoid depth of experience

• control – we try to control the relationship

• selfishness – we remain self-centered.


Each of these attitudes fosters separation rather than connection. Once again, soul lives in relating.


Take time to become aware of, and perhaps journal on how you relate to other people and things in your life.


“We have to decide for ourselves what’s nourishing to our souls, and do those things over others.”

— Thomas Moore

My Wish For You: Cat’s Angel Message for July 31, 2019


July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. You will be receiving important guidance this month so get ready to receive some important guidance.If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!




This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Laughter to kiss your lips, Sunsets to warm your heart, Hugs when spirits sag, Beauty for your eyes to see, Friendships to brighten your being, Faith so that you can believe, Confidence for when you doubt, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. – Anonymous




731:  As the month of July comes to a close take a moment to give yourself a big hug. We’ve done a lot of work recently so be sure to acknowledge your own personal growth. This is an important part of your self care routine, so don’t sell yourself short. Celebrate your wins and the effort you put forth. Today the Angels are telling us that the work we have done is paying off even if the results aren’t visible yet. Continue the self care routine from yesterday and focus on centering and balancing as this will be important for the work that begins in August. The Universe wants you to know that you have grown in ways that you can’t begin to imagine (yet).. so stay focused, confident and above all believe in yourself!




Archangel Haniel showers us with stardust, illuminating our thoughts and memories so that we can remember what magickal beings we truly are, which assists us in the creation process.In turn this shows us how to receive with grace and gratitude. This process accelerates when we allow beauty and harmony to surround us. It’ helps us to enjoy ourselves which makes blessings easier to receive.The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy are an essential part of self care and creates the positive energy we need to propel us forward. It helps us to let go stress and worry, which allows the light of faith and hope to shine through. The power of laughter clears and resets or energy field by releasing tension and emotions that have been help in check. This is an important lesson on our path, if it makes your heart sing then it’s the right direction and the Chinese Goddess Kuan Yin, who embodies compassion and mercy says, “You are a beautiful soul and have so much to offer. I can guide you on the path of self love and help you to embrace the confidence you need to free your mind, heart and spirit. Be gentle on yourself. Joy comes from embracing the simple things which frees the energy needed to assist the creation process.”




Our Sacred Stones today include:


    

  • Moss Agate  gently promotes new beginnings and helps to release the blocks that are keeping us from moving forward. It also helps us to connect to nature and the earth which is essential for the ground-clear-center process in our self care routine.
    • 

  • 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.
    • 

  • Chalcedony  brings mind, body, spirit and the emotions into harmony by calming fear, anger or self doubt. It also promotes good feeling towards self and others.
    • 





Bright blessings for a magickal day!

We can all use some good energy and cool vibes and the truth is that we are capable of generating it for ourselves. Working on our behavior and attitudes is always a positive thing.

ThoughtCo: Spirit Guide Warning Signs


Is Your Spirit Guide Really There To Help?

Every once in a while, someone will manage to contact what they think is a spirit guide—perhaps by way of a Ouija board or other method—and the next thing you know, things are getting weird. If any of the following scenarios seem familiar, then chances are that what you’ve connected to is not a spirit guide at all.

MBG: The 15 Spiritual Practices That Helped Me Overcome Low Self-Esteem


As a teenager, my family moved from Brazil to a town in Florida, and my new high school didn’t have any role models that looked like me. My skin was a little darker than most, I had cystic acne, I didn’t speak English fluently, I was wearing clothes from a totally different culture, and at some point, I was even wearing blue eye contacts thinking that this would help me to fit it. I based my self-esteem on external circumstances and held on to the belief that if I looked like other people, I would finally feel confident. I would belong.

Pioneer Thinking: Cleansing Your Spirit Native American Style


In today’s modern world there never seems to be enough time. We rush from the time we get up until the time we go to bed. We battle traffic, work, deadlines, e-mail, family matters, and love life. Everything we have to get done in 24 hours! There doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. People used to work a 40 hour week,

MNN: India’s tiger population is on the rise

Habitat conservation and international help have helped the tiger population rise 30% since 2015.


Good news in the world of endangered species is generally a rare thing, so it’s worth taking a moment to celebrate the results from India’s latest tiger census.

EarthSky News: Orion the Hunter returns before dawn


Around late July or early August, if you’re up early and have an unobstructed view to the east, be sure to look in that direction in the hour before dawn. You might find a familiar figure – a constellation that always returns to the sky around this time of year. It’s the beautiful constellation Orion the Hunter – recently behind the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point – now ascending once more in the east before sunrise.

Patheos-Pagan: You Can’t Change the Date of Halloween, But . . . .


The internet has a tendency to make mountains out of molehills, and such is the case with a recent petition to “change the date of Halloween” from October 31 to the last Saturday of October. Currently this petition has 100,000 “signatures” on Change.org, a rather insignificant number considering that there are 350 million people living in the United States. This petition is pretty stupid for reasons I’ll outline below, and so is the over-reaction to it that I’m seeing online.

Inner Journey:


HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?


“He who has achieved success has worked well, laughed often and loved much.”

— Elbert Hubbard


“Too often, people focus only on results. But getting results without learning something or without having fun are incomplete. So is having fun without getting the results, or having fun without learning something new to help and empower you in the future. Accomplishment is all three: the result, personal growth and having fun.”

— Peter L. Hirsch


“There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component. …But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind.”

— Deepak Chopra


“You don’t have to stay up nights to succeed; you have to stay awake days.”

— Source Unknown

Today’s Deity: Psyche


PSYKHE (Psyche) was the goddess of the soul and the wife of Eros (Roman Cupid) god of love.

She was once a mortal princess whose extraordinary beauty earned the ire of Aphrodite (Roman Venus) when men began turning their worship away from the goddess towards the girl.

A Note from the Universe


The top 10 things people claim to have taken for granted when they were alive:


1.How important they were to so many.

2.How easy life was when they stopped struggling.

3.That all of their prayers and thoughts made a difference.

4.That there really were no coincidences.

5.How far ripples of kindness actually spread.

6.What really was important: happiness, friends, love.

7.That any and all dreams can come true.

8.How good-looking and fun they always were.

9.How much guidance they received at all times.

10.That God was fully present in everything, always.


As expressed by the recently departed, fresh after their life-review on the big, BIG screen.


Ah-so,


The Universe

Intuition


“Trust your hunches… Hunches are usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. Warning! Do not confuse your hunches with wishful thinking. This is the road to disaster.”


-Dr. Joyce Brothers


We can look at intuition either scientifically or spiritually, but it is there, and significantly so, nonetheless. When we get our minds involved, analyzing our hunches, that’s where we get ourselves into trouble. We think too much, when sometimes we need to just “feel.”


-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: The Lovers


Relax, take a deep breath, and don’t let any feelings of anxiety derail your plans for the day. A certain level of nervousness may be in the air today but it doesn’t have to be contagious and you don’t have to catch it. If a touch of anxiety serves to give you a greater sense of caution, that can be a good thing.

Plant Now: Cat’s Angel Message for July 30, 2019


July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. You will be receiving important guidance this month so get ready to receive some important guidance.If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!




What you plant now, you will harvest later. – Og Mandino




730:  The Universe is inviting us to indulge in a little self care today. In order to hear and receive both divine guidance, as well as our own, we must take care of ourselves. This involves keeping our energy field clear so that we can be (and stay) focused and centered. Everyday our energy field absorbs bits and pieces of what goes on around us and these things can knock us out of balance. This balance is important when it comes to receiving guidance and messages. Take some time today to ground, center and clear. Clean up your path, pick a few weeds, plant something new and even blow a few dandelions. Don’t forget to harvest some good things along the way….. you’ve earned it!




 Archangel Raphael teaches us that it is through our spiritual journey that we can heal our selves and our lives and therefore regain our self confidence and faith. 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 and the Roman/Celtic Goddess Sulis teaches us about the healing and spiritually cleansing power of water. She tells us, “Look to the elemental power of water for healing and comfort. Water has the power to cleanse away heavy and harmful energies from your body, your spirit and energy field as well.”




Our Sacred Stone for today include:


    

  • Rose Quartz is a true stone of unconditional love and self care. It soothes and clears the emotions and fills us with loving compassion. It works with the heart chakra to gently wash away negative feeling 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.
    • 

  • Satin Spar Selenite makes it a great meditation stone. It opens the crown chakra to help us receive universal guidance as it calms the emotions and promotes inner peace.
    • 

  • Morganite (aka Pink Beryl) to bring awareness to emotional needs or feelings that remain unfulfilled . It helps us to express them so that we can begin the healing process.
    • 





Bright blessings for a magickal day!
