Thought For The Day: July 10, 2019 “Have Some Pudding”

Posted on by

Happy Wednesday,

Our quotes for today is from Luna Lovegood ( Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).  Luna taught us that it’s okay to be different, not to let the actions of others bother you and the importance of letting things unfold naturally.  This quote is also about patience. Sometimes it’s best to stop struggling with things that we have no control over. You know………… set them aside and go have some pudding!

MBG: Weekly Horoscope: Here’s What The Stars Have In Store For You

On Tuesday, a Saturn transit will bring some structure to all spontaneity.
With Cancer season in full swing, it’s been easy to indulge in life’s comforts, refreshing your glass (and everyone at the table’s) with another pour of “frosé”; nibbling on whatever’s in the fridge. Nothing wrong with that! But when these mindless diversions start turning into habits, you might be numbing out. Tuesday, July 9 could snap you back to awareness, when disciplinarian Saturn in Capricorn opposes the Cancer Sun.

Patheos-Pagan: Magickal Fatigue: When You Need Inspiration

There comes a time every year when you are just worn down, worn out, and tired. Exhausted, fed up, tired of people, tired of the day-to-day drudge. Maybe it happens more than once a year. Maybe you save it for special occasions. You have what can be termed Magickal Fatigue, and what you need is inspiration, oomph, motivation, just something.

Today’s Deity: Astarte

Astarte, also spelled Athtart or Ashtart, great goddess of the ancient Middle East and chief deity of Tyre, Sidon, and Elat, important Mediterranean seaports. Hebrew scholars now feel that the goddess Ashtoreth mentioned so often in the Bible is a deliberate conflation of the Greek name Astarte and the Hebrew word boshet, “shame,” indicating the Hebrews’ contempt for her cult. Ashtaroth, the plural form of the goddess’s name in Hebrew, became a general term denoting goddesses and paganism.

Inner Journey:

FINDING CONTENTMENT

“When the sun rises, I go to work. When the sun goes down, I take my rest. I dig the well from which I drink. I farm the soil which yields my food. I share creation. Kings can do no more.”
— Chinese proverb

Do you sense the peace and contentment that can come from an appreciation of one’s place in the cosmos?

How do we get there with the complexities and pressures of our current lifestyles? Perhaps it’s a matter of becoming aware of what we truly have as opposed to what our egos believe we need. If we look closely, we may find that our ego ‘needs’ are just desires.

When you find yourself longing for something, stop and ask, “What is missing from my life? Is it a need? What are the essential qualities of what I seek? How can I experience that now?”

“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.”
— John Bunyan

“Try to be like the turtle — at ease in your own shell.”
— Bill Copeland

Uncertainty

“Every area of trouble gives out a ray of hope, and the one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.”
-John F. Kennedy

Isn’t this uncertainty such a great concept? It sure helps us out when we make a mistake! We can change things, make them better. Nothing is set in stone, that’s just the way it is – life is fluid, moving, changeable – and that is good for us. There is great potential in uncertainty- it means that ANYTHING, and everything is possible.

Sharing The Wealth: Cat’s Angel Message for July 9, 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!



Infinitely more important than sharing one’s material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves – our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love. – William E. Simon




79: Our message today involves sharing our light with others and being of service.  For some this means offering themselves and their skills to the community or to the world. Yet for others  service revolves around their partner, children, family or extended family. Every day, whether we are aware of it or not we have the ability to make a difference or influence someone’s life in a positive way.  The Angels are letting us know that we are on the right path and by following our intuition and the divine guidance that is sent we are better able to help others as we continue to navigate our path. You are making a difference in your world through the choices that you make and honesty, truth and personal integrity.




Archangel Chamuel helps us in regards to relationships. This includes the one we have with ourselves and our own spiritual nature. he helps us to build a strong foundation from which we can create our personal evolution. Archangel Chamuel also helps us to find what is lost. If you feel like you have wandered off your path and are having trouble finding your way back he can help you get your bearings.The Ascended Master Mother Mary surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love. She teaches us about compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others. And, the Celtic Goddess Aeracura  shows us the way to expand and share our loving energy. She tells us, ” Playfulness and a carefree spirit are the heart of true abundance. By sharing of yourselves it creates an energy that spreads and grows.”








 


 


Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  •  Sugilite is a stone of spiritual love and awareness and promotes Divine interaction and communication. Sugilite also encourages positive thinking and teaches us to live our truth and to trust our intuition. This stone also brings purple ray energy to earth. It embodies spiritual love and wisdom and assists in opening the chakras. This stone can also help you find the answers to “Why am I here and What is my purpose?”
    • 

  • 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.
    • 

  • Lapis Lazuli  helps us to confront the truth of a situation and promotes acceptance of the lesson involved. It promotes clarity and help us express our opinions in a positive manner and teaches us the value of being an active listener.
    •

Thought For The Day: July 9, 2019 “Labels”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Tuesday,


Labels are limiting. People place labels on us all the time (and we are guilty of that as well). Nice, stuck up, bitchy, weird, cold, etc. By doing this we have decided who someone is. Sometimes we see more but often these labels stick. We are all more than one thing. Take time to peel off the labels and discover the real ingredients beneath.

ThoughtCo: How to Hold a Gratitude Ritual


For many Pagans, autumn is a time of giving thanks. Although this is the most obvious around the Mabon holiday, if you live in the United States, most of your friends and family will be giving thanks in November. If you’d like to tie in to that a little, but with a Pagan flair, you might want to consider doing a short gratitude ritual as a way of expressing your own thankfulness

MBG: Ready For Bold Self-Love? Try These 4 Tone Ups For The Heart Chakra


There are over 700,000 heart attacks reported each year in the U.S., and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in this country. Rightfully so, conventional medicine puts a great deal of effort toward preventing heart disease. And yet, our nation continues to die of heartbreak—literally. Managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes, and obesity can be very effective, yet I believe there is an additional dimension to the heart that requires an entirely different kind of support.

Daily Good: The Daily Opportunity in Randomness


“The physicist Leonard Mlodinow changes how we think about the agency we have in shaping our own destinies. As a scientist, he works with principles like Brownian motion, by which Einstein helped verify the existence of molecules and atoms. As the child of Holocaust survivors, he dances with the experience we all have: that life never goes as planned, and yet the choices we make can matter. The course of your life depends on how you react to opportunities and challenges that randomness presents to you, he says.”

Daily Tarot: The Tower


People may be expecting or needing you to be laid-back and easy to deal with but your own inclinations may make you seem more difficult and demanding. You may see yourself as just being direct while others consider you as being tactless. Save yourself a lot of grief and use extra care with your words and actions. If someone gets bent out of shape, try to catch it instantly and stop it as soon as you can.

Inner Journey:


SELF TALK IS REVEALING


“If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.”

— Chinese Proverb


What passes over your lips each day?


Are your words typically negative, critical, gossiping, deceptive, illusory, justifying, blaming, manipulative and argumentative? Are they more uplifting, inspirational, positive, questioning, beautiful, loving, universal, truthful, accepting and supportive?


The throat is our center of expression. Who we are sneaks out in our attitudes and in what we say.


“Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.”

— Pearl Strachan Hurd


“The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.”

— Bible

Uncertainty


“If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable… we must be content to creep along the ground, and can never soar.”


-John Henry Cardinal Newman


“Playing it safe” is a choice – but if we make that choice every time, life could get boring. Sometimes it’s good to take a risk, to leap into uncertainty with both feet! Maybe we’ll fall, and maybe we’ll fly- but we won’t know “for sure” until we’ve actually done it!

No Expectations: Cat’s Angel Message for July 8, 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!




Be clear that expectations are demands. Demanding that life turn out the way we prefer is a sure path to disappointment and suffering. Happiness lies in having no expectations, and accepting life as it comes. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




78:  Over the last few months we have been working to perfect our balance. This is essential to our overall growth and has a direct effect as we create our path through life an dour own spirituality. Balance  helps us to focus and see clearly the things that truly matter and put things like material gain into perspective. Today the Universe is reminding us that balance starts with gratitude and it’s a good time to do a little path maintenance. If you’ve been slacking and letting weeds grow on your path then  it’s time to get started. It’s easier and less “stress-full” to clear as we go instead of putting it off and becoming overwhelmed. Our lives and paths are works in progress and they both require effort and elbow grease to make things happen. Use the old grade school lesson of Stop-Look- Listen to help you navigate “success-fully”.


*STOP and perform a self assessment: Are you where you need/want to be?


*LOOK forward not back.


*LISTEN to your inner guidance system.




Archangel Michael gives us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own. He provides direction when we feel lost or overwhelmed. He sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by providing courage and direction as he shows us how to work through any obstacles that pop up. He teaches us that we have what it takes to create new things for ourselves as he helps us reach new levels of self confidence. The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process . Letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important. Greek goddess Persephone tells us “Don’t be afraid to unearth what lies beneath. By shedding light in dark or weedy places you often find treasures that you had forgotten. These treasures can form the foundations that you need to navigate your path in life.”




 


Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  • Gentle  Seraphinite helps to clears the heart chakra  opens us to love on all levels. It is also used to review the progress that you have made in life, and shows the changes that we need to make to best helps us on our path.
    • 

  • Sugilite which is sometimes called Archangel Michael’s stone. This is a stone of spiritual love and awareness and promotes Divine interaction and communication. Sugilite also encourages positive thinking and teaches us to live our truth and to trust our intuition.
    • 

  •  Green Calcite helps us to heal on a mental level by promoting balance and communication.. It assists with the letting go and weed pulling process and invites divine flow into our lives by  dissolving rigid beliefs and outdated programming.
    •

Thought For The Day: July, 8, 2019 “Jealousy, Envy and Insecurity”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Monday,


Jealousy and Envy are the children of Insecurity, and while most of us meet them at some point in our lives, there are those who allow them to move in and take up  permanent residence. These things can be extremely harmful to our mental and emotional state. Remember that there is no such thing as the perfect life and even though things may look amazing they too come with their own “family ” of Envy, Jealousy and Inseurity.

It Takes Courage: Cat’s Angel Message for July 7, 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!




It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. – J.K. Rowling




77:  We know from past readings that our path is unique. We also know that we are the only ones who know the scope of our dreams and what we need to be and feel fulfilled. Today, the angels are giving us a little advice. “Stand your ground where your path is concerned.” There will always be people, including loved ones, who will try to push you in a different direction. This can happen for various reasons like fear, greed, or simply because they think they know what’s best for you. If you know with every fiber of your being that your path doesn’t go that direction bless the situation with love and keep moving forward. The key is to honor their concern for you, by sifting through the information, consider what has merit and file away or discard the rest.”




Archangel Jeremiel oversees life changes and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. He teaches us that by taking inventory of our lives we gain clear perspective of where we are on our path, which in turn helps us to make positive life changes. The Ascended Master Serapis Bey brings us the necessary spiritual insight we need when dealing with negative people, feelings or situations. By surrounding yourself with loving energy you can find the peace you need to deal with off color moments. The Hawaiian fire goddess Pele helps us to find our spark and ignite our inner fire. This fire when channeled correctly helps to fuel our passions and sense of purpose. She is a goddess of empowerment teaches us about honest communication and how it aids our goal setting and getting. “Within you lives the sacred fire that gives life to your greatest dreams and passions. This part of you must be allowed to come forward, not smothered beneath fear, resentment or the expectations of others. Your fire will help you forge new paths!”




Our Sacred Stones for the day include the following:


    

  •  Howlite helps us to formulate and achieve our ambitions and goals and helps us to communicate these things calmly and reasonably and helps us to find our patience. Howlite also creates a link to the universal realms and prepares the mind to receive guidance.
    • 

  •  Red Jasper which helps us see problems before the get out of hand while promoting new ideas and creative problem solving. It strengthens personal boundaries and keeps us grounded.
    • 

  • Lava Stone. This simple stone is a powerful symbol of our own energy and is connected to Pele. It is a stone of rebirth and helps us to burn away unneeded layers so we can initiate new growth.
    •

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!




If you’re not balanced, your mind’s not balanced… my fuse went. – Frank Bruno




76:  Maintaining balance is one of the essential keys to navigating our path. Today we are being asked to perform a balance check today in two areas: giving / receiving and spiritual / material. There are times when we get so preoccupied in either (or both) areas and we become distracted. The balance between giving and receiving requires that we allow ourselves to receive and at the same time acknowledge the the blessings that come to us. The balance between spiritual and material is equally important. By acknowledging the richness of our own spiritual nature material “things” lose their importance. They become nice to have but they no longer rule our lives. Achieving and maintaining balance in these areas leads to good spiritual health. Remember, that if our scales are tipped one way or the other it zaps our energy levels and our ability to focus. But when things are balanced we find that our journey and the flow of life is easier, allowing  us to be grounded and more at peace.




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 Buddha is called the Enlightened or Awakened One. During his life he lived as both prince and ascetic. When he achieved true enlightenment he came to realize that the key to happy living required moderation and balance in all things. This includes the important balance between giving and receiving. When we are balanced we find that inner peace is ours. And the Egyptian Goddess Maat offers protection against be manipulated into giving away too much of ourselves. She also helps to achieve balance, she tells us “Honor yourself by being truthful. It is truth that creates order out of difficult or confusing situations. It is also truth that keeps your inner scales balanced, your energy free and your heart feather light.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include the following:


    

  •  Rose Quartz, this ultimate self care stone opens our heart and shows us the love in relationships and situations, which helps us find a balancing point.
    • 

  • Larimar which helps to ease our obsession for material things and shows us how to put things into perspective so that you manifest what you really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.
    • 

  • Celestite gently provides strength and inner peace while instilling a sense of calm. It helps us  to embrace new experiences while blending instinct and intellect to create balance and harmony.
    •

ThoughtCo: Jar Spells in Folk Magic


In many traditions of folk magic, particularly in North America, a spell is sealed inside a jar, bottle or another container. This serves a number of purposes – the first being that it keeps the magic concentrated, and prevents it from escaping before the spell has been completed. The other nice feature of a jar or bottle spell is its portability – you can take it anywhere you like, whether it’s buried under a doorstep, tucked into a hollow tree, placed gently upon your mantle, or dropped into a port-a-john

MBG: 5 Natural Ingredients You Can Use As DEET-Free Mosquito Repellent


We’re smack in the middle of summer, and that means time at the beach, days in the sun, and unfortunately, for many of us, being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Next to humidity and sunburns, bug bites are definitely on the list of summer’s downsides

Elephant Journal: 25 Days of Gratitude for a Life Well-Lived.


I meditate early morning outside on my back lawn overlooking a lagoon that feeds into the Caribbean Sea.

It is serene. The waves come and go like the hundreds of thoughts that are running through my mind. I hear the birds having their first conversations and experience the new shades of amber appearing on the horizon. A soft cool breeze blows playfully through my hair.

MNN: 10 cats that act like dogs (but still have kitty traits)


There are dog people, cat people and people who want a little bit of both. Perhaps they don’t adore the standoffish-ness that many felines are known for, yet they crave the independence of a kitty.

EarthSky News: See Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown


Tonight, look for the constellation Corona Borealis, also known as the Northern Crown. You’ll need a pretty dark sky to see it, but, if you have one, the constellation is easy to pick out because it makes the shape of the letter C. Hopefully, tonight’s waxing crescent moon won’t be too intrusive, but remember that the last week of July 2019 will offer deliciously dark skies.

Patheos-Pagan: Erupting With Truth Under The New Moon


A while ago, I ran an experiment to look at the energetic blocks people carry in their chakras. By experiment I don’t mean in a measurable, white lab coat way. No, not at all. More like this: sitting at home with a pendulum and remotely connecting with 80+ strangers (well, people who like me on Facebook so loosely acquainted) who had volunteered to be energetically spied upon by me.

Inner Journey:


DAILY FORGIVENESS


“As long as you don’t forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.”

— Isabelle Holland


We cannot avoid daily resentment and thoughts of guilt. They are a part of human nature. What we can do is release their grip on us. We can forgive others and ourselves daily.


Forgiveness requires nothing in return. There are no conditions. It gets rid of old baggage and clears up unfinished business. It leads us to a life of authenticity, lightness and directness. Forgiveness is the highest form of letting go of resentment and ego.


True forgiveness is more than an apology, understanding and acceptance. There is an element of recreating and re-imagining. There is a need to envision ourselves as more loving, interdependent, courageous and compassionate. Forgiveness requires honouring the sacred journey of learning about life – our life and others’.


“Whatever we have done, we can always make amends for it without ever looking back in guilt or sorrow.”

— Eknath Easwaran
