Spirit Library: Your Creations: Macro to Micro

You wish others would tell you how to live your life.

Ah, such a statement makes you angry for you are seemingly uninterested in anyone informing you who you should be.

Yet, in your dream creations, you run hither and yon accepting this and that advice. You do so because you do not believe creation can be as easy as having fun. So it is you have not yet fully claimed your being.

Daily Good: 13 Ways of Looking at Community

“Community cannot take root in a divided life. Long before community assumes external shape and form, it must be present as seed in the undivided self: only as we are in communion with ourselves can we find community with others. Community is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace, the flowing of personal identity and integrity into the world of relationships.” Parker Palmer shares more in this beautiful essay.

EarthSky News: Zodiacal light glowing pyramid after dark

Moonless evenings in February, March and April present the best time of year to see zodiacal light in the Northern Hemisphere evening sky. Meanwhile, from the Southern Hemisphere, the zodiacal light is best seen before dawn during these months of the year. The light appears when the evening twilight has left the sky (about 80 to 120 minutes after sunset)

Inner Journey:

LEARN TO LET GO

“To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.”
— Lao Tzu

How do we take something away? As we cultivate higher awareness, we begin to see just how much we have added things that really aren’t there to our picture of reality. Our beliefs, concepts and emotions all add layers of meaning to physical reality, but that meaning exists for us only – it has no objective existence. For example, the word ‘mother’ has a complicated network of meaning for each of us.

Become aware of how your beliefs and emotions colour your perception of different events in your life. See if you can begin to step out of your fabrications to experience the truth and spaciousness of what is.

“When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. … Forgive yourself and move on.”
— Bernie S. Siegel

Giving

“When I give I give myself.”

-Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Most of us have too much “stuff.” We could probably give half of it away and not even notice. It doesn’t “mean” anything to us. Giving isn’t necessarily just distributing stuff into another person’s hands. The best gifts are thoughtful and heart-felt. The best gifts are personal, given with the receiver’s needs and wants in mind. The best way to give is to give of ourselves.

-Lissa Coffey

Loving Gratitude: Cat’s Angel Message for February 21, 2019 

February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.



Fate makes us family. choice makes us friends. – Mary Anne Radmacher




221: One of the things that the angels ask of us is to live our lives with the “Attitude of Gratitude”. We all have many things to be grateful for however, today the angels are asking us to focus on the people we are grateful for. Family, Heart family, friends all play an important role in our lives. Take a moment to acknowledge your gratitude towards them and bless them with peaceful, loving energy. Do not be afraid to let them know how much their presence means to you, ” I’m glad that you’re here”, Thank you for being a part of my life”, “I love you”, these words can mean so much. Allow your gratitude to fill you and know in your heart that these blessings will continue to flow around you and your loved ones.




Archangel Jophiel helps us to share loving thoughts and energy with those who mean the most to us. She asks us to remember that goodness and beauty surround us all the time, and to stay open to receive these blessings. 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 Greek goddess Iris teaches us that miracles of beauty can happen in a instant. She says “Open your eyes, both physical and spiritual, then open you heart and allow the divine light to fill you. This will help you see the blessings and the beauty that are right before your eyes. Take nothing for granted.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Kyanite which teaches us to speak from the heart and Hiddenite which helps us to bring comfort to others as well as allowing ourselves to accept it from others.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Feb. 21, 2019 “Life’s Humor”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Thursday,


Do you take life to seriously? It’s okay, a lot of us do. Our quote today embodies both choice and perspective. Allowing ourselves to take life too seriously (all the time) is a choice. Sure ,there are times when that’s necessary. However when we allow ourselves to see the humor our perspective changes. We see things differently and we even see things that we may have missed before. Let yourself laugh today and see the bigger picture.

Spirit Library: New Energies in an Old World ( a message from Mary Magdalene channeled by Pamela Kribbe)


Dear courageous men and women,


I greet you all, I am Mary Magdalene. I was here on Earth in a time of change, at a time when many people were looking for a way out of the restrictive situation. The Earth was then shrouded with an energy that kept people small and gave them a feeling of having no worth. That veil is thinning now; more light is coming from above, and that light comes from your souls which remain outside the veil.

Daily Good: Sacred Instructions: Creation Songs


“The relationships that exist between people and place are often memorialized through defining words that merge into story. As Indigenous people, our lives comprise these words and the stories that they illustrate. These words and stories paint a picture that brings into form all of the elements of our existence. They provide a clear view of our unique cultural landscape, and they offer us a defined sense of place within the world. In order to fully recognize our place in creation, we must realize that our stories are not the only stories that are being told. Every living thing has its own creation song,

Elephant Journal: Being Mindful isn’t a “New Age” Thing.


There was a moment when I could feel my body tense.

My heart rate was speeding up, and it quickly turned into something like panic as I remembered that I had to go on a business trip that required flying in two weeks.


Would I be able to get my license renewed in time? Such a small thing, but it could be a real problem. How could I let this happen?

Inner Journey:


EXPERIENCE STILLNESS


“My greatest wealth is the deep stillness in which I strive and grow and win what the world cannot take from me with fire or sword.”

— Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe


If our minds are always busy, they don’t get time to do basic maintenance – to sort, tidy up and take out the trash. If we don’t periodically clear out space in our minds, there’s no room for new ideas to take root.


Where do you find stillness each day and each week? Plan for quiet time, relaxation and stillness daily, even if it’s only for 5 or 10 minutes.


“For peace of mind, we need to resign as general manager of the universe.”

— Larry Eisenberg

Giving


“The one desire which grows more and more is to give… Giving and receiving are at bottom one thing, dependent upon whether one lives open or closed. Living openly one becomes a medium, a transmitter; living thus, as a river, one experiences life to the full, flows along with the current of life, and dies in order to live again as an ocean.”


-Henry Miller (1891-1980)


Let’s look at the process of giving, and how much the simple, and natural, act of giving contributes to our spiritual growth. Giving opens us up, it opens our hearts. The more we give, it seems, the more we want to give, because we experience that current in our lives and are energized by it. It just feels good!

A Friend Knows: Cat’s Angel Message for February 20, 2019 


February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.




A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails. – Anonymous




220:  During the course of our lifetime we will have many friends. Some are only with us a short time and others are with us forever like the Angels and the Divine Source. Today we are being reminded that we are never alone and that these ethereal friends are always here for us. We can talk to them anytime, they are always home, never distracted and always have time for us. They are ultimate listeners and freely offer advice that comes in many forms. This divine relationship is further enhanced through meditation, prayer and by simply staying “present”. Renew your connection today by expressing gratitude for the “Tiny Miracles” you receive and the insights that you gain. The whole of the Universe is literally on your side and a friend is only a thought away!




Archangel Michael is most often called on for protection, but the truth is that he can help us in all areas. He can help us find our way, give us courage and strength, and help us to stay strong in our beliefs and stay committed to our path. 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. And  the Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom.  She says “Take my hand and let me guide you on your journey of self discovery. You need only look within to find your true meaning. Release your cares to me and I will purify your heart and spirit. “




Our Sacred Stones for today include 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 and Eulite (Hypersthene) which helps us to find solutions to problems (large and small) that get in our way and can hold us back. It will also make seeing the answers and solutions easier by stopping the need to overthink or overly critical thinking.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Feb. 20, 2019 “Is It A Waste?”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Wednesday,


Our quote for today really makes you think. We often do things that we  see (or others see) as a waste of time. I guess that it’s a perspective thing. Sometimes what we see as a waste of time is actually helping us to regroup and recharge. It can be healing, relaxing, and a much needed mini getaway from life and it’s problems. Take that “waste of time” and make it part of your self care routine.

These little jewels are fun to use and lend wonderful fragrance to the bath. The combination of baking soda, powdered lavender flowers and powdered oatstraw lend healing properties to sooth the skin and frazzled nerves. You can use candy or small soap molds for this project, but for best results use the two-piece type of mold made specifically for this purpose (available from Amazon, craft supply stores, etc.) This recipe makes 6-8 bath bombs, depending on the size of your molds

Giving


A man there was, though some did count him mad,

The more he cast away, the more he had.”


-John Bunyan (1628-1688)


So many people have said the same thing: when you give, you receive. Whatever it is that you want in your life, give that. Somehow, it comes back to you, in a bigger and better way. Somehow, what you are looking for finds you. You have to put it out there; it has to circulate. Rather than hold on to something, set it free. Let it live, let it breathe, let it grow. Giving is good for everyone.


-Lissa Coffey

The Light of Hope: Cat’s Angel Message for February 19, 2019 


February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.




Your success will shine as a light of hope and inspire numbers you cannot total. – Mary Anne Radmacher




219: Throughout our lives we are constantly learning new things and it is through this process that we continue our personal evolution. The knowledge and insights that we acquire along the way can be shared with others. It also plays an important role in our “service to others”. Service to others means that we are putting them before ourselves and while this is a good thing the angels want us to remember the importance of  creating and maintaining our balance. We can tip the scales in either direction by giving too much or not enough. There are many ways that we can be of service and lead or teach others, however the simplest forms are through word, deed or example. If you think about it it’s pretty cool that these simple things have the power to inspire those around us whether we’re aware of it or not. Today we are being asked to share our light with others through word, deed or example. Look to the people who inspire you and strive to inspire others. Shine -Inspire-Be inspired-Grow!




Archangel Haniel brings grace into our lives as she shows us the path to peace and harmony and helps us to stay poised under stress. The Ascended Master Mother Mary teaches us about compassion which is so needed in the world today. The path to true compassion embodies both love and understanding of your own views and those of others. And the Egyptian goddess Maat reminds us to “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.  Malachite helps to support friendships and promotes empathy towards others. It also strengthens our ability to absorb and process information so that we can show our feelings in a positive way and Chalcedony that brings mind, body, spirit and 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!

Thought For The Day: Feb. 19, 2019 “The Drama Sponge”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Tuesday,


Are you a drama sponge? A drama sponge absorbs whats going on around them both directly and indirectly.  While some people thrive on drama, the poor sponge gets it whether they want it or not. As always we have a choice to let it affect us or keep it at bay. Remember that your personal, mental, emotional and spiritual well being is more important than getting caught up in the harmful dramas around you. Maybe it’s time to wring yourself out and dry yourself off……

In feng shui, just like in astrology, the “elements” of nature are an essential part of the practice.

Herbal Muse: Peaceful Dreams Insomnia & Anxiety Elixer


The herbs in this formula have been used to induce relaxation and promote sleep for centuries and modern research validates their efficacy. Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), for example, a member of the mint family that grows in the moist woodlands of northeastern North America, contains several flavonoid compounds (i.e., apigenin, baicalin and wogonin) with demonstrated anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects. The calming properties of passionflower and lavender are also well documented. In the latter, the mild sedative effects are produced by aromatic organic compounds called ketones. The sedative, anti-anxiety effects of passionflower are due to various alkaloids, most notably a group known as harmala alkaloids. Learn now to make this….

Elephant Journal: Getting through Life as Highly Sensitive People without Putting Out our Flame.


I am both a highly sensitive person (HSP) and a hardcore empath.

It took me about 26 years of blindly exploring the deepest pits of life to unfold the reality of who I’ve always been, with all the tragedy and great triumphs that came with having this personality. I am almost 30 now.

Tetraktys: Witchcraft Troubleshooting: 5 Reasons Why Your Spell Failed


If, like me, you work according to the moon phases, you will easily know if a spell failed. If you set your intentions at the New Moon and release your expectations at the Full Moon, all your spellwork should run smoothly. However, if, when you reach the next New Moon, things have not improved, then something must have gone wrong.

Patheos-Pagan: Building a Devotional Practice with the Sky


Working with High Days is a wonderful thing, but High Days come and go eight times a year. What can someone do if they want to develop a monthly, weekly, or daily practice? This discussion will investigate building a devotional practice with the Three Realms, namely, Land, Sea, and Sky.

Inner Journey:


THERE’S LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS


“Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart.”

— Myla Kabat-Zinn


“Even the most daring and accomplished people have undergone tremendous difficulty. In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn.”

— Barbara Rose


“No matter what difficulty you are facing, it is coming from Divine Light to bring you to a higher place within. Write down every conceivable reason that this situation can contribute towards your growth. Write down every way this experience can possibly set the stage for serving to uplift others. When you are complete, and have come to the other side of this experience, you will then know ‘why’ it happened.”

— Barbara Rose


“The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one’s life.”

— Dalai Lama
