New Trails: Cat’s Angel Message for July 5, 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’s fun to be a little bit different in the world, to make a few new trails of your own. – Dennis Weaver

75: Yesterday we talked about making choices that can have an impact our life path. Today the we are being reminded that success comes when we follow our own lead instead of being led by others. Remember that the sacred Tool of intuition is a divine gift and that by using the information you receive you increase your self reliance. Choices also equal change. These changes can be small and simple or big and potentially life altering. Remember that the Universe is always working behind the scenes to make things happen. Our job is to stay focused and be willing to make the choices that will best help us on our path. Our paths never come to a dead end and if it feels that way then it’s time to grab your faith and confidence and choose a new direction or grab your courage and blaze a new trail. By building your path as you go you are setting the groundwork for success!

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. He teaches 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. Michael helps everyone so don’t be afraid to ask him for help. The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy 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. This is an important lesson on our path, if it makes your heart sing then it’s the right direction. 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.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include:

Tiger’s Eye helps us to accomplish our goals by showing us how to recognize and access our inner resources and the promotion of clear intentions. It is a stone of luck and prosperity and works with the energies of both earth and sun, it also helps with grounding while drawing spiritual energies to earth.
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.
Pietersite (The Tempest Stone). Use this stone to help access your intuition and create a link to a loving level of guidance. It helps to strengthen the will and increases our focus of where we really want life to take us.

Bright blessings for a magickal day! Cat

The Foundations of Truth: Cat’s Angel Message for July 4, 2019

The Foundations of Truth: Cat’s Angel Message for July 4, 2019

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not. – Carl Jung

74: Our life path is full of choices. While we do our best to make the best ones possible there are times when what we choose turns out not to be in our best interest, or dare I say it……. just plain dumb. It happens and we have all been there. At times like this we find ourselves backtracking to make things right and get back on course. The key is in learning the lessons of these mis-adventures have to teach us and finding the drive an d courage to move on. This can be hard particularly if you have trouble admitting to making a mistake. These life lessons are important to our overall growth and our ability to be honest with ourselves will help us move forward with clear vision and purpose. Today the angels are letting us know that they have great confidence in us and our ability to make good choices but if we need help they are just a request away.

Archangel Chamuel 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 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. And the 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. This lady has both an iron will and compassion. She tells us “Don’t be afraid to unearth what lies beneath. By shedding light in dark places we often find treasures we had forgotten. These treasure can form the foundations that you need.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include:

Agate is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to the most of our life experiences.
Black Obsidian protects and helps to bring negative energy to the surface where it can be dispelled and provides support during times of change. It takes the “things” that we’ve hidden and composts them into positive soil to support out new growth.
Moonstone, the stone of new beginnings. This beautiful, watery stone helps to navigate the cycles of change and calms our emotions as it gently promotes creative thinking and creative problem solving. It also provides emotional healing by helping to stabilize the emotions and draw out old emotional patterns.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Daily Good: What Does it Take to Be Racially Literate?

Few people really believe that race does not affect their lives in some way, but most of us are unwilling to admit it. We avoid discussing these differences and do ourselves a disservice. Priya Vulchi and Winona Guo are two high school students who decided it was time to bring this discussion out in the open. The key, they say, is to face the issue with both our hearts and our minds, for our minds lead us to understand and our hearts lead us to care.

Over the next few evenings – July 3 to 6, 2019 – watch for the young moon in the west after sunset. Fresh from the July 2 South American solar eclipse, the moon will be a very thin crescent and hard to catch on July 3. But, especially if you live in the Americas or on an island in the Pacific, you might catch it shortly after sunset.

Inner Journey:

CONTEMPLATE UNITY

“Poverty is in separatism. Abundance is in unity.”
— Torkom Saraydarian

Watch for those times when you perceive yourself to be separate from the rest of the world. When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, threatened or isolated, remember Neale Donald Walsch’s words: “there’s only one of us in this room.”

When we perceive differences in thinking and behaving, we might remember that these are merely different expressions of the one universal life force. We can release judgment as to whether those differences are right or wrong or good or bad. We can drop the labels that divide the world into pieces, and simply appreciate the rich variety of ways that energy can manifest as form.

“If we are to achieve a rich culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.”
— Margaret Mead

Let It Grow: Cat’s Angel Message for July 3, 2019

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Cat

Let It Grow: Cat’s Angel Message for July 3, 2019

The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow. – Ella Wheeler Wilcox

73: Within each of us dwells a piece of the divine spark. It lives in our core being and comes to life when we engage in the things that bring us joy, like creative pursuits, helping others or just setting a positive example. This spark can also help us in our personal evolution and in creating the life we want through the manifestation process. Today we find ourselves surrounded by the love of the Ascended Masters as they offer guidance for our path. They are asking us to hold on to our optimistic outlook. By doing so we open the gates to abundance and prosperity. The key is allowing yourself to receive blessings from all quarters. Don’t pick and choose as you may miss out on something that you’ve been waiting simply because it came in a different wrapper.

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. The Ascended Master Jesus helps us with all areas of faith and teaches us that true miracles often come in small packages. He also provides a clear and direct line of communication to the Divine and he helps all who ask. And 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.

Our Sacred Stones for today include the following:

Dioptase which helps us to create a more balanced life while we work toward achieving our personal goals. It also teaches us to see things in joy and the best in every action.
Tangerine Quartz which helps to increase our receptivity to Divine inspiration while it stimulates the mind and enhances overall creativity. It fills us with hope and joy as it restores our feelings of self worth.
While this is obviously not a stone, Copper is a conductor that moves energy and helps us communicate with the higher realms. It can also increase self esteem and self awareness which are essential to embracing our divine spark and our powers of manifestation.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: July 3, 2019 “Find Your Voice”

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Cat

Happy Wednesday,

Sometimes we make things more difficult than they need to be. There are times when we are afraid to say or do something and times when just plain overthink our options and stress ourselves out. One of the best ways to keep life simple is to speak up and never assume that others know how you feel, what you need or what you want.

Inner Journey:

INTUIT AND DO IT

“If doubt is challenging you and you do not act, doubts will grow. Challenge the doubts with action and you will grow. Doubt and action are incompatible.”
— John Kanary

To reap the greatest benefits from intuition, we need ACTION. Be in motion. Act as if your highest expectations have already happened. Be in front of more opportunities and people. Let go of any blocks or attachments. Create mental space and physical space. Plan your work and work your plan.

Miracles rarely happen by doing nothing. Most miracles happen through other people.

What actions can you take that will move you towards your goals?

“Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.”
— Annie Besant

Meditation

“You are used to listening to the buzz of the world, but now is the time to develop the inner ear that listens to the inner world. It is time to have a foot in each world, and it can be done.”
-Saint Bartholomew

It’s all about balance. Rather than getting inundated by the buzz of the world, we can tune in to the silence, turn on that higher frequency and experience what really matters. And then the beauty of meditation is that we bring that experience of stillness back into our activity, and find that life is just so much easier and more fulfilling. We are better able to feel the joy that is always there.

Opinions Are Ok…. But.. : Cat’s Angel Message for July 2, 2019

Having a personal opinion is great. Believing that one’s personal opinion is absolute truth leads to most of the world’s troubles. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

72: Following our path requires us to have positive focus, perseverance. We must also trust in ourselves and in the Universe because this helps us to make the best possible decisions for our personal evolution. As we travel we receive an abundance of information. Often it comes in bits and pieces while at other times we find ourselves buried in it. Some of this information is good and some……. well…… not so much. Part of our job is to sift through this information and pick out that which will best serve us and to throw away that which does not. Remember, everyone will have an opinion. Our message from the angels today is “In your heart you’ll know what’s best and what direction you need to take.”

If you find yourself blocked perform a self check and ask yourself:

*Is this where I want to be?

*What is keeping me from moving forward? (people, places, things)

*What positive steps do I need to take to continue my journey?

Act on your own intuition and divine guidance and if you need help…. ask!

Archangel Jeremiel provides us with insight into our lives and the changes we need to make to move forward. If you ask him for help he will tell you to look to your dreams for answers. He can also help you to release any fears that you may have about the future. The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy 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. And the Hindu God Ganesh removes any and all obstacles that lie in our way. 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 you effort will produce beneficial cleansing and healing.”

Our Sacred Stones for the today include the following:

Green Calcite helps to create harmony which allows us to dissolve rigid beliefs and outdated programming. It promotes mental balance, aids in communication and gently helps us to let go of the things that no longer serve us which helps us to draw good things into our lives.
Hematite has a strong connection to the earth element and helps us stay grounded and promotes feelings of safety. Hematite also brings mental clarity through focus and concentration which is essential letting go process which accompanies change.
Iolite (Also known as “Poor Man’s Amethyst) is a stone of vision that assists our intuition and aids us in setting things in motion. It helps you stay true to yourself and your path while freeing you from the expectations of others.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: July 2, 2019 “Alone”

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Cat

Happy Tuesday,

Being alone is often associated with being lonely. However these two things are vastly different and one of best gifts that we can give to ourselves is “being alone’. This time is special because it helps us to clear our minds, find a new perspective, renew our energy and tap into our inner strength.

ThoughtCo: Sun Worship

At Litha, the summer solstice, the sun is at its highest point in the sky. Many ancient cultures marked this date as significant, and the concept of sun worship is one nearly as old as mankind itself. In societies that were primarily agricultural, and depended on the sun for life and sustenance, it is no surprise that the sun became deified. While many people today might take the day to grill out, go to the beach, or work on their tans, for our ancestors the summer solstice was a time of great spiritual import.

Elephant Journal: July’s Astrology Report: 2 Dark Moons, 2 Eclipses (Plus “You Know Who” is in Retrograde).
