Spirituality & Health: 5 Ways To Get Outside

According to outdoor supplier REI, the average American spends 95 percent of their life inside. Most of us work, study, eat and enjoy leisure activities like watching movies, all in the climate-controlled indoors. Yet study after study has shown that being out in nature has positive effects on our health, from reducing depression to lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol. So why the disconnect? Let’s look at ways to get outside that can inspire even the most “indoor cats” among us to venture out.

Elephant Journal: Mercury Retrograde: 10 Things Not to Do. {7/26 to 8/19}

The planetary cosmos has an evil plot to make our lives go crazy from July 26 to August 19, 2018. It’s called Mercury retrograde.
For the uninitiated or the skeptical, just pay attention to your life experiences over the next three weeks. You may find yourself joining the millions of believers who plan their year by calling up their local astrologer to find out the dates when Mercury goes retrograde.

EarthSky News: Watch the moon sweep past bright Mars at opposition

On any of these next few nights – July 25 to 27, 2018 – watch for the moon and the very bright red object near it. That red “star” is really a planet, Mars. On July 27, Mars comes to opposition in our sky for the first time since May 22, 2016. That’s when our planet Earth, in its smaller orbit around the sun, passes more or less in between the sun and Mars.

Patheos-Pagan: INTUITION AND SYMBOL

Because it’s counterintuitive, the prevalent view of the symbol is to regard it as belonging in the category that we call ‘intuition’.

Insofar as we can argue that the intuitive faculty is a visual faculty, I can see why the symbol, steeped in visual imagery, should be thought of as having to do with the creative part of the brain, the part that dreams in images and weird translations.

Inner Journey: 

WHAT IS YOUR DESTINY?

“The significant business of your life is alive and well, awaiting discovery, within your very soul. You and I were born to come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. Accepting this, we build a valuable life.”
— Marsha Sinetar

What is the significant business of your life? What is your purpose? Andrew Schneider says that purpose “is more than just having a direction. It is about one’s place in the universe. It is the journey of finding that place and being there and living fully whatever that place is. It is your own unique place that nobody else has, had, or will have.”

How would you describe your place in the universe?

“We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. Affirmations of purpose communicate the truth that we are all meaningful participants in this Universe and that we are worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are:

– I know that I count and I act as though I do.
– I spread warmth and love everywhere I go.
– I am a healing force in the Universe.”
— Susan Jeffers

“The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
— Joseph Addison

Inspiration

“I am one who, when Love inspires, attend, and according as he speaks within me, so I express myself.”

-Dante (1265-1321)

Writers and artists often speak lovingly of their “muse.” Love is a muse that all of us share. What could be more inspiring? When we are “in love” we are “in spirit,” we feel our connection with God. Yet that connection is omnipresent. So when we feel that connection, we can have that same feeling of being “in love” and use it to inspire our selves!

-Lissa Coffey

Beliefnet: Five Compliments Guaranteed to Make Someone’s Day
Make someone’s day today.

I was standing in line at a grocery store behind a young man and his little boy. The boy was playing nearby and accidentally knocked over a large sign. Frightened, he burst into tears, and his father ran to his side and gently comforted him. I was touched by how sweetly he treated his son. After he left the store, I regretted the fact that I didn’t take the time to compliment him. I recalled the times that strangers had surprised me with genuine compliments and resolved to give them out more freely in the future. Here are a few ideas.

Answering Change With Strength: Cat’s Angel Message for July 25, 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!




As the evening beckons with the promise of tomorrow… may your gratitude rise up and with strength answer, “yes.” – Mary Anne Radmacher




725:  Whether we like it or not change is a part of our path and is necessary for both personal and spiritual growth. Whether change happens naturally or we initiate it ourselves there are always feelings of uncertainty that come with it. Today the Angels are letting us know that our faith in the changes we are experiencing is well founded. Things are moving, wheels are turning and tiny miracles are lining up. This is also a reminder that during these changes that we and our loved ones are safe and cared for. By seeing change as an adventure we are surrounding ourselves with an armor of positive energy which in turn draws good things our way!




 Archangel Jeremiel helps us to get through necessary life changes. He removes our fear of change and what the future holds and replaces them with a sense of expectant excitement. Ascended Master Maitreya  teaches us that while laughter brings joy it can also heal that part of of us that is afraid or uncertain and the Yoruban Goddess Oya who embodies the winds of change tells us ” 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.” 




We have several Sacred Stones to choose from today. Use Smoky Quartz to assist in leaving behind the things that no longer serve you to help make room for the blessings headed your way. Blue-Green Chrysocolla helps make smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity and Mookite (Jasper) helps us to be flexible during times of change and encourages us to embrace new experiences.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: July 25, 2018 “Wishing For More”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Wednesday,


We sometimes look at other people and wish we had what they have. We wish that we were better looking, had more money, had more things  (yada yada…). We’ve all been there and done that. The truth is that we have far more than we give ourselves credit for. There are things about our lives that we love and things that we keep working on. Remember that everyone has problems (even those seemingly “perfect people”) and everyone is a work in progress. Whether you believe it or not ,there are people out there who wish they had what you have. Truth.

MBG: Noticing Yourself Starting To Procrastinate? Do This ASAP


Oftentimes, procrastination is not a sign of laziness. It’s a fear of failure.


This fear drives so much of our lack of initial effort. Since our subconscious wants to keep us safe, the underlying possibility of failure can be enough to keep us in our comfort zone, especially once giving in to that behavior becomes a habit.

A daisies bouquet is a wonderful gift because there are only positive meanings attached to these flowers. However, their beauty does not stop at their appearance nor does it do so at their meanings. They have both a legend to support them, and a belief which holds them as a kind of prophets, able to reveal one’s feelings.

This article will tackle something that is even more widespread than depression as a major impediment to living a fulfilling life, and that is stress. 77% of Americans say that they regularly experience physical symptoms of stress, 73% say that they also experience the psychological symptoms and 33% say that they live with extreme stress

MNN: Looking for a life-affirming new career? Become a ‘death doula’


These end-of-life coaches are reimagining death and changing lives.


It’s not easy to talk about death. It can be depressing and scary, and often remains hidden in our culture. As a result, many people face their final moments alone in hospitals or nursing homes, hooked to clinical, life-prolonging technologies without loved ones or familiar surroundings to calm their fears and bring meaning to their end-of-life experience.

Patheos-Pagan: Friends Are Too Precious To Throw Away by John Beckett


This was going to be a paragraph on Facebook. Turns out I had more than a paragraph to say…

I read somewhere that what we want most is what we didn’t have enough of when we were seven years old. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it rings true for me.

Inner Journey: 


LIVE IN RELAXATION


“It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.”

— Henry David Thoreau


Is relaxation possible only when we’re not working? No. With awareness and practice, we can be relaxed no matter what we are doing. In fact, when we work in a relaxed state, our productivity increases as our effort decreases.


For true relaxation, we need to connect with our bodies — to consciously and intentionally become aware of tension and release it.


“Anxiety breaks a man’s backbone.”

— Hebrew proverb


“Don’t hurry, don’t worry. You’re only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers.”

— Walter Hagen

A Note from the Universe


Some things don’t sound like they look.


Others don’t look like they sound.


There are friends who don’t act like friends.


And enemies who’d never dream of hurting anyone.


But do you know what the strangest thing about time and space is?


Your thoughts will never betray you. They will strive to become things. You can change your circumstances on a dime. And where you’ve been, has no bearing on where you can still go.

-Wanda Landowska, in Denise Restout, ed., Landowska on Music (1964)


This is what spiritual growth is all about. When we are inspired to learn we grow so much. Our inspiration is our calling to grow, to bloom. It is a gift; it is a blessing.

Challenges and  Distractions: Cat’s Angel Message for July 24, 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!




To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there. – Kofi Annan




724: Sometimes things happen that make it difficult to stay on our chosen path. Every day brings us new challenges and distractions (OOOoo look! Shiny!!) These distractions often come in the form of well meaning people who “just want to help”. (We all know a few of these right?) Just remember that it’s YOUR path. Be honest with yourself because  you are the only one who knows what’s best for you. If the advice you are given doesn’t mesh or is an attempt to push in a direction you’d rather not go, remind yourself that the choice is yours to make. There are also times when we question ourselves and the guidance we receive. This can happen during moments of self doubt or fear. If this happens today (or any day) take a moment to center and focus. Then ask yourself “Is this really what I want?” or “What is best for me?” Listen to the guidance that you receive and above all trust in yourself!




Archangel Michael helps to calm our fears and guides us through issues of self doubt. He helps us to find our courage and our direction. Michael’s energy is easily felt particularly during times of stress, confusion or when we are about head off in the wrong direction.  The Ascended Master Saint Germain works with Archangel Michael. He also provides courage and direction as well as helping us deal with those well meaning people who try to push us away from our path and the Egyptian Goddess Maat helps us find our truth by being honest with ourselves about what we want and where we want go. She says, “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 are  Pietersite (Tempest stone) to aid in working through beliefs and conditioning imposed upon us by others. It opens the connection to our intuition and helps us see the truth and  Orange Calcite today to help balance the emotions and dispel fear and anxiety. It invites us to embrace our full potential and promotes problem solving.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Tonight – July 23, 2018 – see if you can make out the dark areas on tonight’s waxing gibbous moon. These smooth, low-lying lunar plains are called maria, the plural for the word mare), the Latin word for sea. You should be able to see the darkened portions on the moon with the eye alone. The dark maria on the moon’s near side – the solidified remnants of ancient lunar seas of molten magma – make the near side of the moon reflect less light than the far side, which has fewer maria.

Patheos-Pagan: Words from a Witch – Magickal Poetry


Witches love songs, spells and chants that rhyme or have a poetry flare. Sometimes the words come easily as if we are being told what to say or write. Other times, emotions fuel the fire.

Inner Journey:


EXPLORE YOUR FEARS


“Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them.”

— Marilyn Ferguson


In our world of duality, fear and love sit at opposite ends of the continuum. Fear belongs only to the personality because it believes in separation and impermanence. The soul never knows fear because it understands the unity of all.


When fear arises, we can invite our soul to sit with our frightened personality. What soul energies are waiting to be acknowledged? When we bring higher energies into the presence of lower energies, the lower energies are transformed.


“What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.”

— Jiddu Krishnamurti

Inspiration


“Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.” -Robert Browning (1812-1889)


Robert Browning describes inspiration so poetically. And isn’t that exactly what it feels like? Inspiration seems to come out of nowhere – but we really know exactly where it comes from – Spirit. In fact, the word itself means “in spirit.” So when we are tuned in with that divine energy, we are open to receiving that “splendour” at any time. And it is beautiful.

 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!




Let there be more joy and laughter in your living. – Eileen Caddy




723: Today is a self care day and the Universe is encouraging us to perform a balance check.


    

  • Are you taking enough time for yourself or are you giving it all away?
    • 

  • Are you achieving balance between work and your personal life?
    • 

  • Are you giving and receiving  energy equally? Or tipping the scales?
    • 



Taking the time to to see where we stand is important. Remember, if our energy is off kilter it drains our energy making us tired, emotional, anxious, depressed, cranky or even just plain angry. The Ascended Masters are stepping in to assist today as they have a more intimate knowledge of the problems and feelings we face everyday.  Even if you have no pressing issues today their presence and loving energy can enliven and uplift you. Today is also a good time to ground-clear and center. This helps to not only free up our energy but opens us to the supportive energies sent by the universe.




The Ascended Master Buddha is called the Enlightened or Awakened One. During his life he lived as both prince and ascetic. When he achieved true enlightenment he came to realize that the key to happy living required moderation and balance in all things. Ascended Master Maitreya, (Laughing Buddha) teaches us that laughter is an essential part of self care. The power of laughter clears and resets or energy field by releasing tension and emotions that have been help in check.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Amethyst.This beautiful crystal is used by Tibetan monks to honor Buddha. If you’re feeling crafty make yourself a set of prayer beads to honor him and use for meditation (these are great for Archangel Michael as well).




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: July 23, 2018 “It’s Part of Growing Up”

Happy Monday,


We’re starting the new week with a quote about growing up.  Part of growing up involves learning what really matters and what doesn’t. “Things” don’t matter nor does the drama of others,  or holding grudges. What does matter are things like family and friends, caring relationships, taking care of yourself, and doing things that make YOU happy. So…………. what REALLY matters to you?

 A Fulfilling Life: Cat’s Angel Message for July 22, 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!




Where are you going? Where does your path lead? You can never know the future, yet wandering aimlessly is unlikely to be the source of a fulfilling life. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




722:  Your path is like a road trip. It consists of many sights and attractions, some good and some bad. We encounter bumps, potholes and roadblocks mixed in with some truly breathtaking and inspiring scenery. We even find side paths that lead us on a merry chase all the while teaching us valuable lessons along the way. However, in order to grow we need to keep moving forward. This requires focus on our desired destination, even if we’re not quite sure how to get there. The key is to stay strong and believe in yourself. Today the Angels are reminding us that life is full of unlimited possibilities and we have unlimited potential. You are an amazing being who is worthy of the best the Universe has to offer!




Archangel Chamuel can help you find your way if you have wandered off on a side path and feel lost or unsure if this is the place you want to be. Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of the things that have held us back and the Egyptian Goddess Maat is an excellent adviser during times when we are confused or unsure of situations or choices that are presented to us. She tells us “Honor yourself by being truthful. It is truth that creates order out of difficult or confusing situations.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are 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 and  Rhodonite  to help balance both mental and physical energy. It shows us all sides to any given situation and clears away confusion and helps to promote confidence.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
