Spiritual Unite: April 2019 Ascension Energies – Future Forecasting

March Review

I hope your equinox was wonderful. It had such a beautiful quiet to it—though there had been such chaotic energy leading up to it, of course the difference was palpable.

During the March Areon channeling, I was shown pink and lavender weaving into the energy field (a deeper explanation in the April video above). The day before the equinox I saw (etherically) pink and lavender hitting the magnetosphere, looking like an aurora borealis/australis. The pink and lavender frequencies are supporting us to allow more higher-frequency Love to flow into our lives.

Daily Good: The Magic of Moss and What it Teaches Us

In Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses, world-renowned botanist/bryologist Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to contemplate the mystery and meaning of life as viewed through her study of one of the world’s oldest plant species. This illuminating, award-winning volume of essays weaves scientific and personal observation into a lyrical tapestry that celebrates the power of attentiveness in revealing the sparkle and splendor of the natural world. Rooted in the deep and abiding respect for all living things of her Native American heritage, Kimmerer’s observations remind us that when we remain open to the possibility of what the smallest manifestations of life may reveal, we receive the gift of infinite beauty and wonder.

MNN: Vieques’ 400-year-old Ceiba tree blooms again after Hurricanes Irma and Maria

A giant, elegant ceiba tree is one of the most popular tourist attractions on Vieques, a tiny island off the coast of Puerto Rico. The island was formerly a sugar plantation, worked first by slaves for the Spanish crown, and later by agregados or sharecroppers. Once it came under U.S. rule, it was used as a bombing range by the U.S. Navy. The island was decommissioned by the Navy in 2003 after a lengthy battle with locals known as “the struggle.”

From the Southern Hemisphere, the view is much better, with Venus rising a few hours before the sun. You’ll have no trouble seeing the moon and Venus from any part of Earth, howeve

Inner Journey:

BUILD THE AWARENESS HABIT

“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside of the frame.”
— Author Unknown

Start building the awareness habit: STOP and PAY ATTENTION. Set an intention to become aware of how you automatically react to different things in your life.

For example, how do you react to the alarm clock, the shower, traffic, work colleagues and situations, your partner or children? How do you react to anger or fear in someone else? How do you react to your own anger or fear? Become a witness to your own life. Pay attention to how you do things.

“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
— Abraham H. Maslow

Spiritual Unite: Astrological Guide – The Best Zodiac Advice When You’re in a Slump

Astrological Guide for Aries
Being the most commanding and determined of all the signs, Aries are born leaders. Thus, an Aries tends to feel at his absolute worst when they’re subjected to situations where they lack taking charge. So in order for an Aries to de-slump, he must always remember to play to his strengths and try burying himself with a whole new range of projects and assignments where he can actually lead the pack and make a difference

Small Things: Cat’s Angel Message for March 29, 2019

Posted on March 29, 2019 by Cat

Small Things: Cat’s Angel Message for March 29, 2019

March Theme: This month carries the energy of the Ascended Masters. We will be working to improve self love, inner peace and overall clarity. These things will help on the path to manifesting our dreams and goals.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. – Mother Teresa

329: Today’s number revolves around our “life mission”. Your life mission is essentially an area where you feel compelled to serve. While some do big things in a big way, most of us do small things in small ways. Both make a difference to the people around us. The truth is that it’s not about how much you do but what you do that matters. Simply by helping one person you are making a difference, and by helping others we help ourselves in the process. This creates a chain reaction as people pass it on. Life missions vary just like paths do, so never let someone else tell you your mission (or path is wrong). You know what you need to do. If it feels right, brings you joy and helps you grow then you are headed in the right direction.

Archangel Chamuel offers clear guidance as we go about our life missions. He teaches us that when we move forward with heart felt gratitude we are able to see things more clearly and have a better understanding of what we need and what others really need as well. 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 Chinese goddess Kuan Yin embodies, compassion and mercy. She 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.”

Our Sacred Stones for today are Fuchsite which teaches us how to believe in our self worth and how to be of service without getting caught up in the power struggles of others and Charoite teaches us how to accept others as they are by keeping things in perspective. It helps to provide motivation and reduces worry.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Daily Good: The Problem with the Paradigm of Urgency

“Wouldn’t you like to be part of a different kind of revolution?” In this excerpt from The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible,” Charles Eisenstein presents an alternate view of being “revolutionary.” Rather than continuing along the same path of urgency and effort and struggling with a problem, which come from a place of scarcity and domination, he suggests we slow down, do nothing, approach “life in a spirit of ease and play” so we can first, truly identity the problem, and second, open ourselves to creative energies that will bring about “something truly new for civilization.

MNN: 6 serious facts about the playful-looking roly-poly

Almost everyone loves a pill bug. Or maybe you know them as roly-polies, doodle bugs or wood shrimp. Kids are fascinated by these tiny little critters that defensively roll up into a tight little ball when disturbed. That’s a process known as conglobation. But there’s so much more to these familiar creepy crawlies than their acrobatic prowess. They play an important role in the environment.

You can define twilight simply as the time of day between daylight and darkness, whether that’s after sunset, or before sunrise. It’s a time when the light from the sky appears diffused and often pinkish. The sun is below the horizon, but its rays are scattered by Earth’s atmosphere to create the colors of twilight.

Patheos-Pagan: Witchcraft & Dion Fortune

Dion Fortune (birth name Violet Mary Firth, 1890–1946) is one of the most important figures in Witchcraft’s rebirth during the twentieth century. Though she did not identify as a Witch (or even a Pagan), many of her ideas would become a part of Wiccan-Witchcraft, and her 1938 novel The Sea Priestess articulated Witch ritual long before it would be made public.

Inner Journey:

CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES

“Souls don’t have races or sexes or religions. They are beyond artificial divisions.”
— Brian Weiss

Intolerance of differences always exists in people who don’t know who they are, people who don’t have a strong sense of their own authentic self, the soul within.

Intolerance is rooted in fear.

The basis for having a strong sense of self-esteem is to replace our unconscious idea of basic unworthiness with a conscious knowing of our fundamental inherent goodness. As Matthew Fox argues in Original Blessing, the notion of ‘original sin’ must be replaced with the truth of ‘original blessing.’

Being in touch with our essential goodness, we can see the essential goodness in others as well.

“Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite.”
— Paul Ferrini

Today’s Recipe: Easy Preserved Lemons

This is a simple way to make preserved lemons. A little drizzle of this stuff goes a long way when making salads, using as a topping, or in your marinades. It’s great because it doesn’t have just a lemon flavour, it’s also got the taste of the dissolved lemon rind, which is amazing. There’s nothing quite like it.

Transformation

“Any transformation of one person invites accommodating transformations in others.”

-R.D. Laing (1927-1989)

We’re all connected. There is a unity that can’t be denied. When one person changes, it can dramatically affect those around him or her, causing more changes, more transformation. Our lives impact each other; we can’t help it! So, let’s make it work for the good of all of us.

Beliefnet: How to Calculate Your Life Path Number and What it Means

Numerology is an ancient system of belief that shows us how numbers vibrate to energy. Each number in our birth date vibrates to a different energy; this energy helps create our persona. Numerology teaches us that the numbers 1 – 9 have specific characteristics that have negative and positive connotations. Pythagoras taught us that the world is mathematically created and expresses itself through numbers. He believed the single digit numbers represent the nine cycles of life. In numerology every number is reduced to a single digit number. For example, 23 is reduced to 5 or 187 is reduced to 7.

Rainbows and Butterflies: Cat’s Angel Message for March 28, 2019

Rainbows and butterflies are themselves beautiful and highly symbolic, but they are also representative of all the small miracles of our life – the little things that are so easy to overlook, yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment to notice and to pay attention. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

328: Prosperity and abundance comes in many forms and is more than just money. Too often people focus on money or material things instead of seeing the whole picture. The truth is that people who focus on everyday “tiny miracles” and live in gratitude are happier and more at peace and it is up to us to recognize and acknowledge the true forms of prosperity and abundance when they arrive. Today the Ascended Masters are reminding us that we live in the flow of Divine abundance. It surrounds everything we do and it’s important to to be aware of our prosperity on all levels. The old adage of “counting your blessings” is key for today. Acknowledge your personal prosperity and abundance and embrace the richness of your life!

Angels of Abundance include Archangel Raziel who helps to manifest prosperity and abundance, Barakiel who brings good fortune and helps us to open our hearts to receive. Gamaliel who brings gifts, blessings and abundance and Pathiel who helps to open the gates of positive manifestation. The Ascended Master Buddha who teaches us that the key to happy living resides in balancing all areas of life and that peace brought through moderation. And the Roman goddess Abundantia teaches us to appreciate abundance in it’s many forms as well as attract them. She tells us, ” Your faith in the bounty of the universe serves you well. Cast aside your worry and embrace the richness of your life because you have so much to grateful for.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include the following, Larimar to help free you from addiction to the material world, Rose Quartz to help you see life through the eyes of love which helps us to appreciate what we have and the simple pleasures and Tree Agate (Dendritic), known as the stone of plentitude, both promotes abundance while showing us the “wealth” we already have.

Thought For The Day: March 28, 2019 “Adapt”

Posted on March 28, 2019 by Cat

Happy Thursday,

Why is change so scary? Each of us will have a different answer to that question. We all want to be the best person that can be and find joy and happiness. However when change comes knocking we often run and hide or fight against it even though we know that it’s necessary and will benefit us in the long run. Our challenge lies in our ability to adapt. If change comes knocking today with an offer to make a positive improvement grab your courage and embrace the willingness to adapt to something new and better.

Patheos-Pagan: Confronting Stereotypes and Prejudice Against Paganism

A question came in this month’s Conversations Under the Oaks that was more timely than anyone knew.
How do you educate someone when they try to ban all forms of Norse Paganism because they think every Norse Pagan has to be a Nazi or a white supremacist? As cute as the meme of “Odin didn’t die for the Nazis to steal his runes” is, it’s not going sway anyone who only sees Nordic runes or hears Odin or Thor when someone shoots up a Jewish school or shows up in rallies like Charlottesville

Inner Journey:

Slow down

“The soul requires duration of time — rich, thick, deep, velvety time — and it thrives on rhythm. Soul can’t be hurried or harried …. We may go through many events in the day and experience nothing because the soul has not had the opportunity to feel them from many different points of view.”
— Robert Sardello

Soul cannot exist when our connections in life remain superficial. An experience of soul requires that we take time to be fully present to the details of our lives.

Explore what happens when you take the time to STOP and PAY ATTENTION. When we choose to slow down and really experience the qualities of our lives, we get a whole new perspective on what living is all about.

“We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.”
— H. G. Wells

“The well of Providence is deep. It’s the buckets we bring to it that are small.”

Transformation

“You don’t go through a deep personal transformation without some kind of a dark night of the soul.”

-Sam Keen

Heavy, dark experiences change us. They shake us to our core and cause us to re-evaluate our lives and our values. So, it is understandable that a transformation can come out of that. And sometimes it works the other way around. Sometimes a transformation occurs – maybe we’ve been working on it for a long time but then suddenly there’s a shift – and we need some time and space to assimilate it into our consciousness. We need to see how we can fit our new selves back into our old lives. It can feel like a dark night of the soul – but it’s only temporary. The light shines through.

-Lissa Coffey

Directing Your Life: Cat’s Angel Message for March 27, 2019

Posted on March 27, 2019 by Cat

daily Angel Message sms

Directing Your Life: Cat’s Angel Message for March 27, 2019

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. – Carl Jung

327: Spring is the season of new beginnings, new growth and change, all of which are integral parts of our path. So how do you know if you are on the right path and headed in the right direction? First of all remember that everyone’s path is unique and you are truly the only one who knows what’s best for you. Walking your path involves courage, trust in Spirit, ourselves and our own inner magick. We are being reminded that our intuition is a valuable gift. We are all able to discern right from wrong, what feels right and what doesn’t and what brings us joy. Now add to that your intuitive gifts and you’ll find your path and new paths opening up before you . If you are unsure of your next “step” take some time to think about or meditate on where you want to be then move forward making the necessary adjustments as you go. Allow yourself to move forward with confidence, set you intentions high and know that the the Universe is there to help you.

The combination of Archangel Michael and Ascended Master Saint Germain provides direction, courage and motivation as we travel along our path. Both also offer protection, Michael on all levels and Germain on the psychic. Between these two they definitely have you covered. The Hindu Goddess Kali oversees the ending of cycles and personal transformation. Kali’s energy is like a powerful storm that clears away what we no longer need and replaces it with focus for new beginnings, and the courage and motivation we need to see things through. She says, “Do not allow yourself to become bogged down in what you perceive as lack. You are far wealthier than you realize and by getting out of your own way you will see the truth in this.”

Our Sacred Stones for today: Turquoise brings mental and spiritual clarity which is essential to staying on track with our path. Moonstone helps to combat repeated cycles and patterns that keep us from moving forward so that we can embrace change and new beginnings. Garnet brings courage and the awareness of change and how to go with the flow and Hessonite Garnet brings courage where new challenges arise.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Blessings come into our lives all the time. They come in all shapes and sizes. They can be in your face or they can sneak up on you and take you by surprise. Our thought for today reminds us that good things and blessings should not be ignored particularly if they aren’t exactly what we hoped for. Each small blessing is part of the whole. Like a puzzle, they fit together and create what we have been working towards. Keep collecting the pieces and keep building. You’ve totally GOT this!

Spirit Library: Unfriend and Free

When someone unfriended me recently I was a little surprised because I thought they were being really immature. At our age (we’re both from the generation that pre-dates cell phones, internet, and social media) I would have thought that a conversation or two would have been appropriate. But it is so easy to unfriend someone and make them disappear from your life today.

Patheos-Pagan: Lightworkers & The New Age Witch

A lightworker is a modern term that sprung up in the New Age community. One of the best definitions for what a lightworker is comes from Witchcraft elder Christopher Penczak.
“Lightworkers are called to bring light to the darkness in terms of personal healing, and study a variety of healing techniques to aid themselves and others on the healing path.”
– Christopher Penczak

Inner Journey:

SEEK UNION OVER SEPARATION

“Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite.”
— Paul Ferrini

Our ego focuses on how we are different from the rest of the world. Our soul lives when we experience how we are the same.

Any time you separate yourself from other people or from situations, you know your personality is in control. At such times, shift your perspective to build connection and you will move into soul.

As our picture of life becomes larger, more things make sense and we have a greater playing field for life to unfold – naturally.

“As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate.”
— Wayne Dyer

A Note from the Universe

You know you have many gifts, extraordinary gifts. Gifts of perception, insight, and creativity. Gifts of preferences, leanings, and inclinations.

But there is one, ah yes, just one, that while often overlooked is the most sublime and profound of all, availing you of wonders beyond wonder, and the power to wonder some more.

It is, of course, to think. To choose a focus. To see the world however you like… and to experience it accordingly.

I mean, what else do you give someone who wants it all?

Found this recipe and it reminded me of the bread that we used to have at Macaroni Grill 10 years ago. It’s a very simple bread but with the rosemary on top, it’s something special!

Transformation

“Transformation means replacing old values with new ones in the evolution of conscious life.”

-Kazimierz Dabrowski, 1964

Things change. That’s for sure! ‘Things’ change – and times change… but spirit remains the same. And our values, as we come to a higher consciousness, must necessarily change as we experience this. That’s evolution. We’re getting better as we grow!

-Lissa Coffey
