“Today”: Cat’s Angel Message for October 6, 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.



 Every day is a new day – a day for new beginnings, new dreams, new action – a day for challenge, adventure, and discovery. TODAY, what is your goal? What is your dream? What action are you taking to further your goals and dreams? – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




106: Our thoughts create reality and this is important today because material issues and opportunity are moving to the front line. The Universe is asking us to keep a positive outlook and when an opportunity presents itself… grab it! The key is to take what’s being offered even if it’s not the whole enchilada. Taking small steps in the right direction helps us to create exactly what we want. Remember to  keep October’s Theme in mind and pay attention to the information (divine guidance /intuition) that you receive. You are a powerful creator who is worthy of receiving the blessings the Universe is sending your way. Divine assistance is there for the asking so free up your energy by turning your fears and concerns over to the Sacred Source.  The question is “What will you create today?”




Archangel Michael sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by providing courage and direction. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of things that have held us back. Along the way we unearth talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward. And Aine, the Irish goddess of wealth and fertility  shows us the path to increasing faith in both the Source and in ourselves. “True wealth is everywhere, but first you must find it within. Use the seeds you are gifted and use them to help you to grow your abundance.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include Green Amethyst which can bring prosperity, good fortune and luck and Bloodstone to promote courage and to activate our creative energy




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Spiritual Unite: When You Are Feeling Your Soulmates Emotions


Soulmates are people whose souls belong to the same soul group. This means, in essence, that the souls of two soulmates are more innately connected and attuned with each other due to their close relationship in what is often described as the tree of consciousness. We can think of soulmates as belonging to the same soul family or soul tribe.

Turns out, the buzz we get from giving without expecting anything in return is quite unique.

Elephant Journal: What a False Prophet, Nasty Guru & a Bliss Babe taught me about Self-Love.


Nothing is static, especially enlightenment.

Awakening to our true nature does not mean liberation from one’s personality (and its shadow), but rather, a new relationship to it.

I learned both of these in the seven years since an overnight spiritual awakening, which catapulted me into a surreal peace, followed by years of hyper-synchronicity, and rare, but intense, episodes of suffering.

And so too do our dreams.

Inner Journey: 


MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF


“What is it that makes all of us end each day with the sense that we have not lived our time, but have been lived, used by what we do?”

— Jacob Needleman


How can you free up more time for yourself?


All of the great masters counsel that we need time daily for solitude. And if we want our journey in life to be meaningful, then surely we need some free time each day to explore our inner landscapes and uncover our passions. What activities can you cutout of your life to give you more growing room?


“Why has time disappeared in our culture? How is it that after decades of inventions and new technologies devoted to saving time and labor, the result is that there is no time left? We are a time-poor society; we aretemporally impoverished. And there is no issue, no aspect of human life, that exceeds this in importance. The destruction of time is literally the destruction of life.”

— Jacob Needleman

Today’s Recipe: Lebanese Roast Chicken


I tweaked an old Lebanese kabob-type recipe and used a whole chicken so I could just marinate it, throw it in the oven, and forget about it. I served it with some warm flatbread and yogurt. I love using the roasted chicken’s super flavourful bones and pieces to make a hearty chicken broth for another meal. I butterflied my chicken for more uniform cooking. You also get better results for crispy skin this way, if you’re into it.

Nature


“The natural world is dynamic. From the expanding universe to the hair on a baby’s head, nothing is the same from now to the next moment.”


-Helen Hoover, The Waiting Hills, 1963


It is true that we are constantly changing. We understand and even welcome change when it comes to nature. We look forward to the warmth of Summer after a rainy spring. We do not mourn when Autumn turns to Winter – because we realize that it is time moving forward, that it is all a part of the cycle necessary for growth and evolution. And still, as humans, we tend to resist change, to deny it, or fight it. But Nature and its laws understand that we all fit into the big picture, and so we are along for the ride, like it or not! We might as well enjoy it, appreciate it, and learn and grow from the experience.

Helping Yourself: Cat’s Angel Message for October 5, 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.




We’ve observed that people who stall in their personal growth work often have counterproductive soft addictions that stand in their way of growth and having the life they say they want. It can be a simple thing, such as watching TV instead of finishing a project. – Judith Wright




105:   Change usually happens when we aren’t paying attention and this can be a little scary. However, change is generally a good thing designed to help us grow. Over the last several months we have worked on initiating changes in our lives and when we do our best to hold it in a positive light, things flow smoothly. Be assertive and follow your inner guidance. Today the angels are asking us to stay in the present and acknowledge the changes we have initiated or want to make happen. Asking for assistance from the Divine and from the angels works to our benefit as does asking for the grace and courage to make these changes a reality. Remember to implement your creative thinking to find new ways and ideas that will help you to make things happen.




Archangel Uriel helps us to let go of the past and invite changes and transformation into our lives. He helps us to find harmony in the things going on around us. Letting go is essential for change and transformation to take place. 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 Irish goddess Dana tells us,   “While you wait for these blessings to arrive fill your heart with feelings of abundance. Engage yourself in things that make you feel abundant!” ….. ” Your energy is linked to the energy of the Divine. Acknowledge and strengthen this connection as it allows you to handcraft your dreams.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Smoky Quartz. This is an excellent protective stone that also grounds, centers and provides assistance in the letting go process.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Oct. 5, 2018 “Trust and Love”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
 


Happy Friday,


This quote really hit me. How often do we tell someone ” I trust you”? Think about this. The words ‘I love you” are being handed out more freely in the last several years than ever before. But just because we love someone doesn’t necessarily mean we trust them. If you have someone that you trust then let them know. Maybe we should be saying ” I not only love you, I trust you as well”.

Elephant Journal: Smell the Flowers, Blow the Candle: 5 Ways to Introduce our Kids to Meditation.


Lately, my three-year-old son has been asking to go to meditation with me.

In his little voice, which is the cutest thing in the world, he skips the “d” and it melts my whole existence every time he does it.

One day, during soccer practice when they were stretching in butterfly, the coach asked him, “where are you going with those wings?” and he responded, “to meitation”—I almost cried.

MNN: Why does autumn have two names?


As the seasons change, the days grow shorter, the leaves change colors and the collection of flavors called pumpkin spice is added to practically everything.


These are just a few signs that autumn has arrived. Or is it fall? The indecision about which name to use only seems fitting when applied to a season that is itself a shift from one clearly defined season, summer, to another equally well-defined season, winter.

Patheos-Pagan: The Witch’s Toolbox: The Pentacle


Excerpted from The Witch’s Altar by Laura Tempest Zakroff and Jason Mankey. Llewellyn Publications, 2018.


The pentacle is often confused with the pentagram, and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, pentacle is a synonym for pentagram, but that’s not how the words are gen- erally used in Witchcraft. In Witchcraft, the word pentagram refers to a five pointed star, with the single point usually facing upward. Pentagrams are often ringed by a circle touching all five points of the star, but the circle is not necessary for something to be called a pentagram.

Inner Journey: 


WE CAN’T ESCAPE


“Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.”

— Orison Swett Marden


We can’t escape problems and negativity. Escaping just brings denial and suppression – we continue to carry the problem with us. Ironically, it is our lack of acceptance and resistance to the problem that creates the pain. Resistance builds up an energy wall or block that, if not discharged, gets suppressed into the body. These blocks identify places where we have not enough understanding or love.


For health, we must work through what we seek to avoid. How do we do this? We can love parts of ourselves that we don’t like. We can seek the lessons we are being invited to learn through the problem. We can examine our beliefs and seek to see different perspectives and a bigger picture. As our perspectives grow, more of life makes sense and has meaning.


“The Lord is a good psychologist: he knows the way our minds run. Turmoil can be the Lord’s way of tapping us on the shoulder and saying, ‘Don’t forget me.'”

— Eknath Easwaran

A Note from the Universe 


About those dreams you have each night that you don’t quite remember…


Well, those are the ones in which you hold sway over the stars, possessing the keys to the entire Universe, and in which all the angels sing your name in praise. The very same ones in which you summon legions to do your bidding, create worlds to play your games, and unflinchingly orchestrate challenges that are so intense, you completely forget you’re even dreaming.


And you’re having one right now.


Now, repeat after me, “I will remember I’m dreaming, I’m perfectly safe and sound, and that rumble in the jungle… is just me.”

Nature


“Ah, dear nature, the mere remembrance, after a short forgetfulness, of the pine woods! I come to it as a hungry man to a crust of bread.”


-Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)


Nature can nourish us, refresh us, and replenish us. Time spent with nature helps to still the mind, to quiet the activity of our thoughts. Nature provides us with everything we need for our bodies with its bounty of fruits, grains and vegetables. Yet nature’s “food for thought” – its pure silence, is just as necessary for our health, mentally, physically and spiritually.

Internal Peace: Cat’s Angel Message for October 4, 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.




 One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others. – Lao Tzu




104: Today the Sacred Source (Goddess, God) is reminding us that we are always surrounded by their divine love. They share their powerful energy freely and simply ask that we do the same. Empathy and compassion, for self, for others, are gifts that we can share everyday. While we may not understand or agree with a particular situation or event we can express empathy for what others (or even yourself) are going through. If you are feeling out of sorts today take a moment to clear and center and ask the Source to fill your being with love, peace and gratitude. Remember, when you love yourself it’s easier to share love with others. Love and compassion are superpowers that transform all that they touch. Who will you touch today?




The Chinese goddess and Bodhisattva Kuan Yin teaches us to show kindness and love toward yourself and others as well as tolerance and understanding. She is also a Sacred Feminine spirit much like Mother Mary, and answers every prayer sent to her.  The Ascended Master Buddha helps us to find our peace which is an essential component of love and compassion and Archangel Zadkiel  promotes the healing of our hearts so that empathy and compassion can come forward.




Our Sacred Stones for today are  Rose Quartz today to  help send loving energy to yourself and to others and  Chalcedony which 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!

We all have that ONE friend that we can completely let go and be “completely stupid” with.  The healing power of humor and laughter allows us to clear our heads and put a new perspective on whats going on in our lives. Yes.. life can be serious but allow yourself to experience or share with another the power of just letting go.

KODAK Digital Still Camera


In Silence


The goddess of the desert speaks to me in silence.


Her breath, cool and dry, washes over me in gentle benediction.


It touches the wounded places inside and soothes my battered spirit.


Too much. Too much!


And my soul which has been ready to fly cries “Take me with you and let me dwell in silence too!”


Her breath again touches me; soothing me.


And from the silence she speaks; “Stay, it is not yet your time.  I am here. Take comfort from the silence within. Embrace it and hold me close.”


The voice fades on the desert breeze. Leaving me alone with the silence and a feeling of peace that washes over me with gentle benediction.

MBG: How To Help Your Kids Cope With Back-To-School Anxiety


It is 8:25 a.m. on a Wednesday morning in July. I leisurely stroke Cam’s tan face and hair that feels thick with leftover sunblock. “Time to get up, sweetie. You have camp.” I love my summer days at the beach, late family nights listening to audiobooks, and road trips to Maine and beyond. My husband and I whisper about how nice the summer has been, hoping not to jinx it. The ease of summer is so much healthier—sports-free weekends, no homework, and unstructured time to just be a family. To be calm, bored even.

Hygge is a warm and cozy concept that’s difficult to define. You’ll know it when you feel it and you typically feel it — at least in Danish culture — when the calendar turns to the cold, solitude-filled days of wintertime.


It’s a feeling and way of life that centers around coziness and companionship, including family and warm food as a buffer against loneliness, darkness and the cold.

Patheos-Pagan: Everyone Loves a Witch Store in October


Everybody wants my job, or so I laughingly say. Customers check out with a wistful look, saying “It must be so great working here!” It is, and I am very happy.

It’s a community center, a hub, a respite, a place to feel empowered.

Inner Journey:


BELIEVE IN MAGIC!


“…for magic to happen in your life, you must believe in magic.”

— Grandmother, quoted by Lynn Andrews


“Most of the time, we fall in love but can’t remain there. The world then calls the state we were in a delusion or infatuation … But we merely lacked, or someone else lacked, the emotional skills to hold on to the magicwhen the morning came. …In truth, we can go to the moon and retain its magic for a lifetime.”

— Marianne Williamson


“We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests … What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure… not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth! Masters of reality still meet us in dreams to tell us that we’ve never lost the shield we need against dragons, that blue-fire voltage arcs through us now to change our world as we wish.Intuition whispers true: We’re not dust, we’re magic!”

— Richard Bach

Nature


“Nothing in nature is isolated. Nothing is without reference to something else. Nothing achieves meaning apart from that which neighbors it.”


-Goethe (1749-1832)


Everything we have, everything we see, everything we are, has its roots in nature. We are all made up of the same basic materials! Look at your desk, the paper, wood and wicker that come from the trees, which grow from the earth. We feel disassociated from nature when we work in an office, and yet we can never get away from it. The water that runs through the rivers, and through our taps, and through our bodies, is all a part of nature. We are connected to the planet, and to each other, in ways seen and unseen

With Our Thoughts: Cat’s Angel Message for October 3, 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.




What we think, we become.  All that we are arises with our thoughts.  With our thoughts, we make the world. – The Buddha




103: Today we will be working with the Ascended Masters. Their message is pretty simple ” Call upon us anytime and know without a doubt that your thoughts and intentions are fully supported.” Our goal is to stay focused on making forward progress and allowing yourself to grow. Personal development and listening to the voice of wisdom can be achieved when working with the Ascended Masters. Remember the more you work with them the easier it becomes to receive and understand the messages they send you. You will know they are nearby the warm, peaceful feelings you get when you call them.


Buddha: Balance and moderation, peace, spiritual growth.


Jesus: Divine guidance and communication, direction, forgiveness.


Saint Germain: Life Purpose, direction.


Saint Padre Pio: Healing/healers, spiritual growth.


Saint Therese: Healing, spiritual counseling.


Serapis Bey: Loving care, spiritual insight or peace


Solomon: Helps you do things better and more efficiently.


Our Sacred Stone for today is Moldavite which elevates our consciousness and helps us to connect to the Ascended Masters.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
