Spiritual Unite: How Does Your Consciousness Make Everything Real?

Does reality exist without us? Physicists have found it maddeningly difficult to write the observer out of quantum theory. Now some are contemplating a mind-boggling alternative: that a coherent description of reality, with all its quantum quirks, can arise from nothing more than random subjective experiences. It looks like the “perspective of a madman”, says the author of this bold

MBG: Well Read: The 5 Books You Won’t Be Able To Put Down This September

Reading is undeniably a key wellness practice—and one that many of us have ignored for far too long. It’s proven to build empathy, reduce stress, and even lessen sugar cravings (yes, really!). With that in mind, we’re excited to share Well Read, a column that curates the absolute best fiction and narrative nonfiction picks of the month.

Elephant Journal: Dear Self: 6 Letters to Help us Tap into our Highest Good.

My mindfulness teacher would always tell our class that we all have the teachings within us that we need to be happy.
She would often guide us through meditations and ask us to go within and find that part of us that is tender and vulnerable—the part that we’re always trying to protect by building up walls and retreating from the world.

KarmaTube: Ms. Liz’s Allies

“Why might you choose to step in?” This is one question that fourth graders in Elizabeth Kleinrock’s class are asked as they learn terms like “ally,” “advocate,” and “bystander” and consider them in various historical, social, and cultural contexts. If the complexity of our world, its problems, pains, and difficult questions can feel overwhelming at times, a look inside this classroom goes to show that with the right tools, a little bit of time, and a lot of space for self-expression, our world’s younger generations promise much hope as stewards of humanity.

MNN: Man creates ‘water you can eat’ to help his grandma stay hydrated

When Lewis Hornby was in college in London, his grandmother, Pat, was rushed to the hospital after her health rapidly declined. Family flew in, expecting the worst, but she quickly rebounded after 24 hours on IV fluids. His grandmother had deteriorated because of dehydration, a common problem for people with dementia.

In Perfect Balance: Cat’s Angel Message for September 7, 2018

September’s Theme: This month will involve working on our Life Mission/ Purpose. Sometimes we have a clear vision of what that is and sometimes we don’t. Remember that everything you do has an impact on your world and the people in it and around you. It can be simple, like making “tiny miracles” happen for others or even making your own life or the life of a loved one better. Sometime’s the small things are the best!

Balance activity with serenity, wealth with simplicity, persistence with innovation, community with solitude, familiarity with adventure, constancy with change, leading with following. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

97: Yesterday we talked about sending loving , positive vibes out into the world and to the people around us. Today the angels are sending a gentle reminder that we need to remain open to receiving as well as giving…… in other words balance. If we only give we deplete ourselves and by only taking we deplete others. Neither of these are healthy options. However, by balancing the two we find that our energy flows freely and not only benefits us but others as well. It creates a powerful , ever expanding circle of energy that spreads like ripples in a pond. Perform a self check today and make sure your energies are balanced and make any necessary adjustments that are needed. Now…. take a deep breath and shine!

Archangel Raphael helps us to heal by showing us the importance of maintaining our balance. The Ascended Masters Buddha and Melchizedek can assist in balancing and harmonizing all energies. (personal, universal, world etc.) And, the Egyptain Goddess Maat tells us “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 Stone for today is Celestite which helps form a vision of peaceful coexistence with all of creation as well as the possibility of total harmony

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The Twin Flame experience is special.

MBG: The Age When Your Self-Esteem Peaks Will Pleasantly Surprise You

How will you change over the years as you get older? Past research offers strong evidence that, although there are parts of personalities that stay relatively set throughout our lives, we do in fact experience real character growth over time. The primary way we change is through maturation: All of our more pro-social, positive traits (things like conscientiousness and social skills) tend to increase as we get older, whereas many of our more negative traits (things like impulsiveness and anxiousness) tend to decrease.

Daily Good: Welcome to Our Shared Humanity

In moments of difficulty, we can feel utterly and completely alone in our pain and suffering. Actually, in this very moment, everyone is carrying some burden. It might be physical, like a load of heavy bricks. It might be emotional, like a regret from the past. It might be a burden of basic survival, like finding enough food or a safe place to sleep for the night. We are, in this very moment, part of a great interconnected web of shared struggle. Explore this thoughtful essay to discover simple practices for being a healing strand in this shared web of humanity. Ultimately, that healing will find its way back to you. {read more }

MNN: Understanding fake honey and how to avoid it

A recent report about “honey laundering” in Australia is another reminder of the benefit of supporting local farmers.

Testing showed that Australia’s biggest honey producer, Capilano, and some of that country’s largest supermarkets have been selling fake honey — many of them unknowingly — according to the Sidney Morning Herald. Much of the honey was adulterated, meaning it had been mixed with other substances. That was uncovered by a German lab commissioned by a law firm looking into the reports.

Stepping Up: Cat’s Angel Message for September 6, 2018

Everyone is going to have to step up to the plate. – Warren Rudman

96: This month we are working on and with our Life Purpose. So how do you know what your purpose is? Well, that can sometimes be a little tricky. Some people intuitively know. while others are left scratching their heads. For those who already know the angels are letting you know that your help is urgently needed to create a more peaceful world during this crazy time. For those who aren’t sure what they can do to help the angels are saying to start small, do what you can for one person at a time. It’s time to lead by example and by sharing your unique light with those around you. Be a peacemaker, a leader, or a role model. Remember that all your needs are being supplied and manifested along the way!

Archangel Uriel: Earth changes Archangel Raphael: All aspects of healing, healers Archangel Michael: All aspects of your Life Mission Archangel Chamuel: Finding your Life Purpose Archangel Ariel: Environmentalism Use your angel stones, Angelite, Celestite, Apophyllite to connect with the Archangels.

Tetraktys: How to Connect with Nature – A Short Guide on Spirituality, Nature and Awareness
Nowadays, most people are aware that the natural world is more than the sum of its components. Nature embodies the sacred, the untouched creation and the “perfect” world that would be if mankind didn’t exist. Although a very non-humanistic view, it has become somewhat widespread in the modern world as people are feeling more and more that humanity is distancing itself from nature.

Dancing Through Life: Cat’s Angel Message for September 5, 2018

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time. – don Miguel Ruiz

95: This month is all about discovering and working with our Life Purpose. Even if we don’t know what our “purpose “is the clues that provide that answer are there. many of the clues we need can be found in the changes that either just show up or that we initiate for ourselves. Many of these changes happen through the clearing process of letting go of outdated thoughts, feelings, people and things. Letting go tells the Universe that we are ready to move forward and continue our growth cycle. Remember that without change we don’t grow and it is through growth that our Life Purpose comes into focus. Today the angels are telling us that the time has come to embrace the changes that we have been working on or putting off. It is it time to step up and start creating the life you want and acknowledging what really fills your spirit to the fullest!

Archangel Jeremiel is reminding us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you to see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future. 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, the Yoruban Goddess Oya helps us navigate the winds of change. ” My child change must be embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self imposed limitations.”

Use Chiastolite (aka Cross Stone, Andalusite) to help you find harmony and balance while bringing your purpose more clearly into focus.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Sept. 4, 2018 ” Being Happy”

Posted on September 5, 2018 by Cat

Happy Wednesday,

Our lives are filled with many things. Unfortunately two of these things are the twins, Stress and Worry. Stress is like a hyper-active child on espresso. He charges in creating havoc and inciting riots. His sister, Worry is the quiet one. She follows in his wake sowing fear and anxiety. Look at our quote for today. Are you happy or have you allowed Stress and Worry to take up residence? Our challenge today is to put Stress and Worry in their place. Look for the “One Good Thing” and acknowledge the “Tiny Miracles”. These will help open the doors to “Happy”.

If you’re like most people, you associate Oxycontin with love. That’s fair—oxytocin’s nicknames do include the “love” hormone and the “cuddle” hormone, after all. Oxytocin gets its nicknames because it’s associated with several different feelings of bonding, closeness, and love.

The way the Western world is set up, disconnection is almost an inevitability.

It is common in our world to address this emptiness with various “solutions.”
