Spirituality & Health: Yes, Grownups Need a Bedtime

Getting the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night can be challenging enough. Kids come pussyfooting in and wake us up at 2 a.m. Or we stay up too late binge-watching TV, or we burn the midnight oil on a work project. As if getting enough sleep isn’t already a high bar to reach, researchers tell us to also keep an eye on irregular sleep patterns. For this week’s Healthy Habit, let’s look at three reasons adults need regular bedtimes

MBG: Scottish doctors prescribe bird-watching, walking and other ‘nature prescriptions’

Mother Nature offers amazing benefits. A stroll in the fresh air can clear your head, relax your body and just make you feel better. Now doctors in Scotland are encouraging some patients to get outdoors for some natural medicine.

Doctors in Shetland, an archipelago of Scotland, are going to start prescribing bird-watching, taking rambling walks and picking up driftwood from the beach to help with health and well-being.

Daily Good: Myron Eshowky: A Deeper Listening

“When I was 6 years old, I began to go for an hour every day, before school had started, to work with a speech therapist who taught me to put my hand on her throat, and my throat, and then focus on matching her vibration as she would make a sound, because I had to learn how to talk. One of the things I noted right away was that when we matched vibration, I became really connected with her. It was a feeling of connection in my heart, a feeling of love that I would feel for her in those moments.” Myron Eshowsky is a shamanic healer, mediator, consultant and author who was born with congenital severe hearing loss that he learnt to adapt into a skill for deep listening.

Elephant Journal: A Samhain Practice to fill you as the Nights Grow Long.

My spiritual journey began consciously at age 23, when I attended a Women’s Conference at the Unitarian Church called “Women in Religion—A Walk in Many Worlds.”
It was hosted by the late Margot Adler, NPR Reporter and granddaughter of famed psychiatrist, Alfred Adler.
That weekend, she introduced us to Earth-based, goddess-centered spirituality.

Inner Journey:

DEFINE ‘RICH’

“It ain’t so much trouble to get rich as it is to tell when we have got rich.”
— Josh Billings

How do you define ‘rich’?

If you want greater wealth, what does that mean for you? A large annual income? If so, how large? A beautiful home? Health? Security? Happiness? To be in service?

Get really specific about what would bring you a rich life. There are no right and wrong answers here. Don’t judge your desires. Just dig deep to discover what it is that you really want. If you want things, explore what qualities of life those things representto you.

“No one can tell whether they are richer or poor by turning to their ledger. It is the heart that makes a person rich. One is rich according to what one is, not according to what one has.”
— Henry Ward Beecher

“If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.”
— Edmund Burke

Prayer

“Tomorrow I plan to work, work, from early until late. In fact I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

-Martin Luther

Martin Luther knew that with so much work to do that he needed help. And he knew where to go for help and guidance. The more clear our thoughts, the more direction we allow ourselves to receive, then the faster and easier we will get there, and the more we will accomplish with the least amount of effort.

Perspective & Communication: Cat’s Angel Message for October 10, 2018

Perspective & Communication: Cat’s Angel Message for October 10, 2018 

October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.



To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. – Tony Robbins




1010:  Well today’s number certainly sums up this month’s theme. So do your best to stay focused and centered as this will help keep the lines of communication open and flowing. We are being asked to work on areas involving our spiritual journey and personal development. Remember that we are creating our reality and the key is to stay optimistic about the messages that you receive. Messages come in many forms, both divinely generated and through our own intuitive skills, so always be on the lookout for creative ideas and insights. The Universe is here to help you and the guidance it offers helps us to grow on all levels and each tidbit of information is a piece of the puzzle.




Archangel Zadkiel helps us to remember the  important information (like divine messages) and enhances our basic memory function as well. Vywamus is an Ascended Master of the new age. He helps us in all aspects of our Life Purpose through inspiration and discovering talents we have forgotten that we possess or through bringing new ones to our attention. And the Hawaiian goddess Pele tells us “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 Stone for the day is Ulexite (TV stone). This clear stone helps to burn away mental fog and promotes clarity of vision and thinking.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Oct 10, 2018 “I’m Thankful”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Wednesday,


We’re not perfect. No one is. Our quote for today clearly says this. But there is no reason to let these things that happen keep us down. In every disappointment is a good thing (at least one) that comes from it. Sometimes we have to look hard to find it, but it’s there waiting to be acknowledged. Be grateful for life’s disappointments because they bring life’s blessings in their wake.

Daily Good: The Restorative Power of Trees


More than half of the world’s population lives in an urban setting. People in cities run a 20 and 40 percent higher risk of both anxiety and mood disorders than people in rural areas. And we’re spending more and more time away from nature. Researchers estimate that if every city dweller spent just 30 minutes per week in nature, depression cases could be reduced by 7 percent. Globally, that’s a whopping 21 million people. The answer lies in incorporating green space into urban planning, weaving nature into the fabric of everyday city life

The almanacs use somewhat different methods of weather prognostication and have divided the climate regions of the country in different ways, and they each have their followings.

Patheos-Pagan: A Deep Dive into Animism


The very term animism was used by early anthropologists to conjure a more “primitive” world before the eyes of their readers. But there is another part to the conversation.


To be an animist means to understand that the worlds of both the spirit and the physical exist. The two can be experienced, side-by-side. This attitude is not a matter of religion, or belief. It becomes, in time, a matter of phenomenology, and eventually simple practicality.

Inner Journey: 


HEAL DUALITIES


“Beware of the fury of the patient man.”

— John Dryden


Our minds perceive and give relative value – positive and negative – to the different sides of a duality. We usually shun the negative.


It’s important to know that you cannot eliminate the negative by focusing exclusively on the positive. Energetically, both opposites must remain in balance. Increase one and its opposite will also increase. Try to be only positive and the negative within you will raise its ugly head.


We work with dualities by remembering that each is part of the whole. We must acknowledge and accept all aspects of life, because they all exist within us. And so, if we seek to be honest, we do so by acknowledging our potential to be dishonest. We can also bring in love and compassion when we catch ourselves acting out the negative.


Power arises out of integrating the positive and negatives within us. From the tension that exists between the two, we develop awareness and become more conscious and compassionate.


“Any fool can run towards the light. It takes a master with courage to turn and face the darkness and shine his own light there.”

— Leslie Fieger – author of the Delfin Knowledge System

Prayer


“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.”


-Kahlil Gibran


There is no “right way” to pray. There is no “right time” to pray. Prayer is an ongoing dialogue, a soul connection with spirit, a fusion of physics and metaphysics. Prayer is our expression of gratitude, despair, longing, appreciation. It is one means of communication and communion with All That Is. Sometimes we’re praying and we don’t even realize it. Our actions reflect our thoughts; our thoughts are prayers. What are we thinking? What are we doing about it?


-Lissa Coffey

Hard Times: Cat’s Angel Message for October 9, 2018 


October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.




 People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. – Emily Dickinson




109:   We all go through hard or difficult times. These experiences help us with our personal  growth and benefit us in many unexpected ways. Today, expect to gain some insights regarding your life purpose. Make these insights your priority because the decisions and choices that you make will play a profound role in your personal evolution. Your intuitive skills will also come into play so keep the lines of communication open as you go about your business. You can also expect to receive guidance from the Universe as well. Remember that Divine guidance comes in many forms so a few creative nudges are possible. Stay focused on the the things you want to make happen and use the information that you receive to move forward or to tweek your “design plan”. The Universe is here to support you so request what you need and release any lingering doubts or fears. Let Spirit fill you with divine energy and get ready to start a new adventure!




Archangel Raguel wants us to experience the best life possible and can promote healthy relationships that uplift and carry us forward. You can ask him to help you smooth over arguments or uneasy relationships. Saint Padre Pio has an optimistic and uplifting energy that he loves to share with those who ask. He assists in both faith and areas requiring spiritual growth. And the Irish goddess Brigid helps us to access our creative mind. This promotes creative thinking and problem solving which is helpful when we hit rough patches.




Our Sacred Stone for the day is Aventurine. This stone helps us in learning to accept the gifts and blessings that are given to us. It also strengthens our leadership abilities and promotes decisive thinking.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Inner Journey: 


DEEPER COMMUNICATION


“Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.”

— Virginia Satir


How do you typically communicate? Is it through words, gestures, emotions, thoughts, desires, needs, truths, direct perception or intuition? Do you focus more on the other person or on yourself? Do you typically tell, ask or listen?


For a few days, set an intention to be aware of your communication styles and skills. After you’ve spent some time talking with someone, reflect on what your underlying motives were and what level of depth you reached. Write your insights in your journal. This exercise will help you become more aware and conscious of who you are and why you do what you do.


“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”

— Thomas Moore

Prayer


“Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated in words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips.”


-O. Hallesby


We feel our prayers more than we really say our prayers. Prayers become real to us when the emotion behind them, within them, is so strong that the prayer becomes animated – it has life. Our soul houses these prayers before our minds even figure out how to articulate them. Prayers can be silent, yet heart-felt.

Beliefnet: 6 Things to Stop Feeling Guilty About Immediately

“Guilt is to the spirit as pain is to the body” -Elder David A. Bedna


Guilt is such a strong word but many people, especially women, feel guilt more often than not. Guilt can be defined as “feelings of deserving blame especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy”. It makes us feel inadequate or that we aren’t doing enough for something, someone, or ourselves.

Great Things: Cat’s Angel Message for October 8, 2018 


October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.




From small beginnings come great things. – Anonymous




108: Abundance is something everyone desires and it tends to makes people feel secure. It comes in many forms and we receive it in many different ways during our life time. When we keep our thoughts focused on positive things and live with the attitude of gratitude we invite good things into our lives. If you think about it, we are all pretty wealthy. Today we are asking us to share our “wealth” with others. This can be done through leading by example and help others to see things differently and in a positive light. Your powers of creative thinking will help you today and maybe even create a few “Tiny Miracles”. Let your divine light shine and don’t be afraid to share it!




The Hindu Goddess Lakshmi embodies the very essence of prosperity. She helps us to achieve material abundance as well as spiritual abundance that we can share with others. If you are open to receiving you can count on Lakshmi to help. An interesting side note is that festivals to honor her are held in October! We can also call on the Hindu god Ganesh today. This benevolent elephant headed deity helps to see our everyday blessings more clearly. Archangel Haniel, the angel of joy, shows us that true abundance isn’t found in material things but by embracing the our gratitude and the divine spark that lives within us.

Thought For The Day: Oct. 8, 2018 “One Good Thing”

Happy Monday,


Our attitude towards the things that happen in our lives can enhance or distort our perspective. If we are continually viewing things through a negative lens then we will only see the bad. However, if we look for that “One Good Thing” we can always find something positive to raise our spirits.

Forward and Back: Cat’s Angel Message for October 7, 2018 


October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.




The further forward we go, the further back we have to explore in order to go forward again. – Stephen Gardiner 




107:  Today we are being reminded  to listen to our own intuition in conjunction with divine guidance. It’s time to explore our own potential by staying focused on the present. By acknowledging our gifts the paths to manifestation open up before us. These paths branch out in many different directions and when we open our connection to the Divine we find the guidance we need  to navigate the twists and turns. When you receive sudden thoughts, ideas or inspirations,  be sure to take the time to examine them in a positive light as they contain the information we need to make things happen. Don’t be afraid to embrace something new and always look for creative solutions that will open new doors. You truly are able to and worthy of creating your ultimate future!




Archangel Michael helps us to find our courage and our direction..The Greek goddesses Artemis and Hecate are both associated with intuition. Hecate helps to open the pathways of inspiration. She also teaches us to see what can be and what should be, her message is ” I am the guardian of the crossroads. Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”  Artemis teaches us how to embrace our natural intuitive abilities and how to st our sights on our goals to achieve maximum manifestation. “All the skills and knowledge you need for success lives within you. Your inner wisdom is a powerful thing and you know in your heart when something is good and right.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are: Amethyst which helps to open and enhance our intuitive abilities, Star Sapphire helps to center our thoughts so that our intuition flows freely and Moss Agate which helps highly intuitive folks channel their energy in a practical manner.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
