Tetraktys: Agnostic, Atheist or Spiritual – What Atheists Get Wrong About Religion

In this brave new world we live in, organized religion is on the decline worldwide. More and more, people prefer to identify as agnostic, atheist or spiritual but not religious instead of identifying with a religion. Of course, this is a generality, but it’s something worth thinking about.

MBG: How To Create A Sacred Morning, Afternoon, & Bedtime Routine 

Falling into a routine doesn’t necessarily sound like the most exciting thing to happen to your life. By definition, the very word “routine” implies the opposite of special, and often, it’s something to break free from, especially when it involves less-than-beneficial habits (gluing ourselves to the couch or blankly scrolling through our phones at bedtime—we’ve all been there

Daily Good: Today is a Gift

One afternoon, a group of people showed up a farmers’ market with armfuls of wrapping paper and colorful ribbons. They came to gift-wrap the entire street to remind everyone that the present moment is a gift. ” We are literally just wrapping up everything in sight” an organizer tells a passerby. Wrapping up the tables and chairs, placing bows on people and dogs — this video is a joyful reminder to celebrate the gift of today. { read more } http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=7127

Take time to notice and appreciate the present moment. Then share that appreciation with those around you.

CoffeyTalk: Tuning In

Our body is an instrument that sends us signals all the time. This body is our friend, and it’s trying to help us. When we pay attention to its little messages things go easier for us. These messages are subtle, so we need to tune in to pick up on them. The vibrations are there.

We know a kitten is happy because we can feel it purr. And then we know something has startled her when the purring stops and her ears flick. When we’re happy, our body is relaxed and we feel good. But when we get stressed, we tense up, our stomach might ache or our head might hurt.

We can use these signs to gauge the situations around us and make better decisions. Tune into the vibrations and see what happens.

Today we have many tools to help us tune in to the body. Wearable devices measure pulse, breathing, steps taken and more! Make use of this technology to get more information about the body and help it to get what it needs.

You experience something painful. It hurts. You feel anxious, angry, or frustrated, as if you’re on the verge of boiling over. So you self-isolate—sometimes for hours, sometimes for days—and wait for the pain to subside.

Inner Journey: 

USE YOUR BREATH TO RELAX YOUR BODY

“Breath is the link between the inner and outer worlds.”
— Alice Christensen

We live in very demanding times, and our health depends on our being able to relieve our bodies and minds from constant stress. Breathing with awareness can focus and concentrate our attention inside. This slows down our pace and eases the pressure, anxiety, anticipation and excitement that are common stress reactions.

At any time, you can consciously experience your breathing to help you concentrate your mind and relax your body. Compare how you feel after your session with how you felt before. Write about your experience in your journal.

“Controlled deep breathing helps the body to transform the air we breathe into energy. The stream of energized air produced by properly executed and controlled deep breathing produces a current of inner energy which radiates throughout the entire body and can be channeled to the body areas that need it the most, on demand.”
— Nancy Zi

A Note from the Universe

Customized Abundance Advisory and Relativity Alert (shhhh…):

Soon, for you, hundred dollar bills in forgotten blue jean pockets will be as plentiful as singles are in your wallet today. Earning an extra five thousand for lending a hand will only be as challenging as earning five hundred, today. And then before you can even ask, “Who let the bucks out?!” you’ll have as many millions in the bank as there are meters in a mile, popes in the Vatican, and stairways to heaven.

Yet still, you’ll be loved most for being a great friend.

That’s just how you roll,

Silence

“It [would be] vain for me to endeavor to interpret the Silence. She cannot be done into English.”

-Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

More can be “said” in a few moments of silence than in volumes of literature. Some things are beyond translation. I could go on and on about this… but I’ll be quiet and let you find the silence instead. You’ll see.

Breaking the Habit of Indecision: Cat’s Angel Message for August 2, 2018

Breaking the Habit of Indecision: Cat’s Angel Message for August 2, 2018 

August Theme:  Prosperity and abundance is what we are concentrating on prosperity and abundance this month. The key will be keeping a positive focus and tapping into your creative side to solve problems. Remember that you are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!



There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. – William James




82:  One of this month’s keywords is “Creative”. Most people don’t connect creative with prosperity and abundance so when they mulling the lack of material things they only see that they don’t have them. While this may be true, the creative thinking person combines the attitude of gratitude with new ways to solve the issue of lack. We can always call upon the Angels for assistance although we must remember that they will supply us with only what we need. If we desire more then we must do our part to get the manifestation process rolling. By working together with the Universe wheels turn and things move in our favor. Be open to receiving new ideas and let your creativity run wild!




As the patron of artists Archangel Jophiel  can help us to activate our creative thought process. This involves teaching us to slow down so that we are able to absorb things we might miss otherwise. 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 Egyptian Goddess Hathor asks us to consider the question “How shall I live my life?” In our hearts lives the truth of who we are and what we need to live a fulfilling life. Her message today is ” Indecision can be your enemy, whose goal is keep you distracted and from hearing the voice of your heart Remember that each moment gives you the opportunity to learn and grow. It is what you were made for!”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Carnelian which provides creative inspiration and energy and Blue Lace Agate gives us a voice when indecision is a factor and helps us  to freely express thoughts and feelings in a peaceful manner.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: August 2, 2018: “Hater’s Gonna Hate”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Thursday,


You know the phrase “hater’s gonna hate”? It’s true. Unfortunately there are always people who like to make others feel bad about themselves. I think it’s because deep down they are unhappy with themselves. They are angry or hurt and think that if they hurt someone else they will fell better about themselves.


Don’t let “hater’s” ruin your day. Remember that you are a beautiful, amazing person. There are people who love you and want the best for you. Show your sparkle and give yourself a big hug because YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Mara Freeman’s Celtic Spirit Newsletter 


Good tidings to you at Lammas!


Love’s Harvest

It’s high summer – time to celebrate the old Celtic festival known as Lughnasadh in Ireland and Lammas in Britain – the traditional time of pilgrimage in the northern Celtic lands where for centuries people have rejoiced in the endless light-filled days by climbing sacred hills, drinking at holy wells, or voyaging to green islands set like jewels in a sunlit sea.


As we pause in our labours, celebrate the warm weather and enjoy the fruits of our daily work, we have an opportunity to take stock of what the seasons so far have yielded: to reflect upon our hopes and dreams that were sown in the dawn of the year, came to life in the springtime, and are now maybe ready to bear fruit. On the spiritual level, we can ask ourselves what wisdom we have garnered so far this year: What will be the harvest of our souls?


For as the wheel turns, the life-giving triumph of the harvest must give way to death, reminding us that nothing stands still, and that on the human level, for whatever is gained in our lives, there must be an equal giving-away, a sacrifice, so that cosmic balance and order can be maintained.


‘Sacrifice’ can be a bit of an alarming term, implying that something we hold dear must be given up. But this is only part of the truth. For in loosening our tightly-bound identity as a small, separate individual, disconnected from each other and from the Divine, we create an opening for Love to pour in – for all beings, including the Earth herself, and the hidden worlds beyond our senses – and so reap a greater harvest of compassion, peace and joy.

Daily Good: Green Museum


“I think artists have the opportunity not just to call attention to problems and preach, but to really help solve problems, to help create things that work better, that are just more beautiful and right. We’re far more likely to do things that are good for us as a society if we’re drawn to them because they look better, are more meaningful and tasty. These are things we’ll choose to do simply because they feel better.” This interview with artist Sam Bower shares more. { read more } http://www.conversations.org/story.php?sid=201


Be The Change


Start with your own environment — back yard, front yard, window box, roof? Let your imagination go to work. Come up with one or two or three things you can do to make your own environment more beautiful, healthier, more tasty.

“As in the bread and wine, so it is with me.

Within all forms is locked a record of the past

I ask that you lay your blessings upon me, Ancient Ones,

So Mote It Be!”

EarthSky News: Orion the Hunter returns before dawn


Around early August, if you’re up early and have an unobstructed view to the east, be sure to look in that direction in the hour before dawn. You might find a familiar figure – a constellation that is always returning to the sky around this time of year. It’s the beautiful constellation Orion the Hunter – recently behind the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point – now ascending once more in the east before sunrise.

Inner Journey: 


TIME TO BLOSSOM


“The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.”

— Julia Cameron


Many of us unconsciously believe that we’re unworthy or defective. We adopted this belief very early in our lives when the people we looked up to disapproved of our demands, wishes and behaviours. We concluded that we had to learn to be good.


Unfortunately, ‘being good’ usually meant giving up our own differences or uniqueness. We learned that we might get the love we wanted if we acted and felt like others wanted us to.


If we seek true joy and connection with life, we now need to remove these artificial masks and express our deep authentic nature.


“For all those years you’ve protected the seed. It’s time to become the beautiful flower.”

— Stephen C. Paul

Buddha bowls—light, healthy meals comprised of a whole grain, lots of vegetables, a healthful protein source, and a flavorful sauce—are all the rage. This bowl combines the star nutrition power of whole grain sorghum and beans with cool green veggies, such as arugul, avocados, cucumbers, asparagus, and pumpkin seeds. Plus, it’s topped with a house-made, plant-based Green Goddess Dressing that is as tasty as it is pretty.

“‘Lughnassad’ means ‘the funeral games of Lugh’, referring to Lugh, the Irish sun god. However, the funeral is not his own, but the funeral games he hosts in honor of his foster-mother Tailte. For that reason, the traditional Tailtean craft fairs and Tailtean marriages (which last for a year and a day) are celebrated at this time. As autumn begins, the Sun God enters his old age, but is not yet dead. It is also a celebration of the first harvest. The Christian religion adopted this theme and called it ‘Lammas’, meaning ‘loaf-mass’, a time when newly baked loaves of bread are placed on the altar. An alternative date around August 5 (Old Lammas), when the sun reaches 15 degrees Leo, is sometimes employed by Covens.”

Silence


“Silence is the language of God.”


-Swami Sivananda (1887-1963)


Are we really listening when we are in silence? Or are we “thinking” and listening to our busy minds? Stop the chatter for awhile – breathe – get quiet – and allow those thoughts to pass as clouds drift across a blue sky. Then listen, and hear God.

Amazing Things Happen: Cat’s Angel Message for August 1, 2018 


August Theme:  Prosperity and abundance (on all levels) is what we are concentrating on this month. The key will be keeping a positive focus and tapping into your creative side to solve problems. Remember that you are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get, but if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. – Conan O’Brien




81: Welcome to August! We are starting the month with a reminder from the Universe. “The power to manifest everything you need lies within you.” While issues surrounding financial prosperity and abundance can really sap your energy the changes we have made combined with the path work we have done recently will help us out. Remember to stay focused on positive outcomes and surround yourself with confidence knowing that you are in the right place at the right time to grab the opportunities that are headed your way!




Archangel Uriel gives us essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us  during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations. The Ascended Master Maitreya (Laughing Buddha) helps us to find and keep our sense of humor. This gives us a clear perspective and keeps our energy flowing and the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi promotes an awareness of the abundance that surrounds us, she tells us ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Carnelian to help you find creative solutions to current issues, Galena helps us to stay grounded and centered. It helps to open the mind as it dissolves self-limiting thoughts from our past that get in our way during the manifestation process and Rhodonite which helps to balance both mental and physical energy. It shows us all sides to any given situation and clears away confusion while promoting confidence.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

 July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. Spirit is speaking to you so get ready to receive some important guidance. If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!




When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things. – Joe Namath




731:  As the month of July comes to a close take a moment to give yourself a big hug. We’ve done a lot of work recently so be sure to acknowledge your personal growth. This is an important part of your self care routine, so don’t sell yourself short. Celebrate your wins and the effort you put forth.  Today the Angels are telling us that the work we have done is paying off even if the results aren’t visible yet. Continue the self care routine from yesterday and focus on centering and balancing as this will be important for the work that begins in August. The Universe wants you to know that you have grown in ways that you can’t begin to imagine (yet).. so stay focused, confident and above all believe in yourself!




Call on your favorite Angel, Ascended Master or Deity today. Ask for assistance wherever you need it most. Use your favorite Sacred Stones today or use Rose Quartz to promote self care, inner peace and love, Mossy Agate to connect to our Earth Mother or Hematite to to help you ground and center.

Happy Tuesday,


It seems to me that to many people are focusing on the differences between individuals when we should be looking for similarities and common ground. On a core level we all want the same things like peace, happiness, freedom etc. By coming together we create a stronger more unified world and by celebrating and accepting our differences we add the sparkle and spice that makes the world a unique and wonder-full place.

Daily Good: What I Regret Most Are Failures of Kindness


For many people, the things we regret in life might be the big ones: either moral failings, career opportunities missed on the way to success, or all those things that fall into the category of “adventures we should have taken.” For American writer George Saunders, his list of regrets is quite simple: failures of kindness. What grabs at his heart the most is missing those seemingly insignificant chances to make a difference for the better in someone’s life. His story of a lonely classmate who never felt his kindness may give us reason to reconsider what we value and how we can make the world a little kinder in small ways. { read more } http://www.dailygood.org/story/2069/what-i-regret-most-are-failures-of-kindness-george-saunders/

MNN: 10 remarkable caterpillars and what they become


It’s hard not to be captivated by the fluttery fragile beauty of butterflies and moths. But the caterpillars they start from can be equally captivating.


As you’ll see, there are many different types of caterpillars. In fact, the variety of colors, shapes, camouflage markings and predator-repelling armor is truly astounding. They range from gorgeous to garish to downright freaky with horns and stinging spines. What they all have in common, though, is the mind-bending metamorphosis they undergo on their journey from egg to butterfly or moth (both are members of the insect order Lepidoptera).

Patheos-Pagan: Energy Flips: How Haters Make You Stronger


Recently, I’ve discovered that there are a handful of people who really dislike non-traditional (eclectic) witchcraft, and want to tell me how wrong I am for following my intuition. My practice and I have both been denigrated and called names. If I were to react to them, it’d eat a lot of my energy and time, and it’s not my mission to interact with haters. I’ve found another way to deal with the trolls. It’s called an “energy flip.

Inner Journey: 


BE WILLING TO REPEAT


“Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix.”

— Christina Baldwin


Sometimes we repeat the Inner Journey messages in the series. Please guard against saying, “I’ve seen this one — I don’t need to read it again.”


The truth is: we are always changing. Who you are now is different from who you were when you read the message the first time. The circumstances of your life have changed as well. As a result, you may be open to new perspectives this time around.


Our ego is prone to think it knows it all, but life always offers us fresh and new experiences.


“It all depends on how we look at things and not on how they are in themselves.”

— C.G. Jung

A Note from the Universe


Just a little “FYI,” “Heads up,” and “Check this out, Homey!”


It’s no one’s responsibility to tell you what your “issues” are,  and contrary to popular thinking most will not.


Which pretty much means there’s only one person you can trust in such matters, and it ain’t me.


Walk like an Egyptian,

Silence


“Thought works in silence, so does virtue. One might erect statues to Silence.”


-Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)


Silence is the single most important ingredient in our pursuit spiritual growth. Yet how much time do we spend in silence every day? Whether we meditate, or pray, or just sit with nature, silence is like a hallway that we need to go through for the doors of Truth to open to us.


-Lissa Coffey

Forgiveness can be the solution to emotional wellness and stability.

Traditional western medicine treats symptoms. If we are depressed, we get a pill for depression. If we are having panic attacks, we get a pill for anxiety. If we have aches and pains, we get pain relievers and muscle relaxants.

 Invisible and Untouchable: Cat’s Angel Message for July 30, 2018 


 July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. Spirit is speaking to you so get ready to receive some important guidance. If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!




Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable. – R. Buckminster Fuller




730:  Our message today invites us to indulge in a little self care. In order to hear and receive both divine guidance, as well as our own, we must take care of ourselves. This involves keeping our energy field clear so that we can be (and stay) focused and centered. Everyday our energy field absorbs bits and pieces of what goes on around us and these things can knock us out of balance. This balance is important when it comes to receiving guidance and messages. Take some time today to ground, center and clear. Clean up your path, pick a few weeds, plant something new and even blow a few dandelions. Don’t forget to harvest some good things along the way….. you’ve earned it!




Call on Archangel Raguel today to give you a boost of energy and to help bring order to your thoughts or Archangel Michael to help clear our energy field. The Ascended Master El Morya helps us with the ground-center-clear process by shielding us from negative energy and the British Goddess Sulis teaches us about the healing and spiritually cleansing power of water. She tells us,  “Look to the elemental power of water for healing and comfort. Water has the power to cleanse away heavy and harmful energies from your body, your spirit and energy field as well.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Rose Quartz. Use this gentle stone to shower yourself with loving care and to send healing to those little places that most need it.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
