MBG: How To Teach Kids To Love Nature In A Tech-Obsessed World

We know that nature serves as a calming force when we’re stressed or anxious, and its effects on children may be even more profound.

“Nature has the power to make children happier, healthier, and smarter,” Sarah Milligan-Toffler, executive director of the Children & Nature Network, explained during the Biophilic Leadership Summit, a gathering of dozens of thought leaders in nature-inspired design held this April.

A Bountiful Moment

If you know what you want you can find a way to get it. Napoleon Hill

Daily Thought: When you are setting goals make sure you are clear and specific in what you are looking to achieve. By stating that you want to be happy, have more money, be independent are all illusive general goals. Define and be specific about what those general terms mean. Will you be happy if you enter into a healthy relationship? If you make an additional $10,000? Or if you can buy a car? If you make your intentions clear and specific you will achieve them.

Daily Practice: Think of the goals you have set to achieve. Do they need to be made clearer? Think of every single detail about the end goal. Colors, shapes, how you would interact with the goal. What does your end goal look like? The more you can see what you are trying to achieve the better ability your mind has to develop and act on ways to create it. Don’t be afraid to dream big and never give up!

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Elephant Journal: The Sensitive Folks’ Guide to Saturn & Pluto Retrograde

The word “hacking” is popular these days, so consider this a hack for sensitive people dealing with where the Earth is situated relative to Saturn and Pluto.
Note: to be clear, it’s not that the position of the Earth “causes” anything, or that these planets and their positions rain a cascade of “energy” down on us. It’s that those who study astrology can read where they are (relative to each other, because that is key to a retrograde) and what that means according to countless years of people witnessing patterns in human development

Patheos-Pagan: When The Moon Is Not Creative

I have as yet to encounter a discourse about the Moon card in the Tarot that will not start with ‘creativity’ as one of the moon’s primary ‘meanings’.

I have a problem with this, especially when, in dynamic reading consultations that are not informed by the ‘little white book’, the Moon hardly ever points to a type of creativity that’s also constrained, and hence useful.

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/cartomancer/2018/05/04/when-the-moon-is-not-creative/

Inner Journey:
FEELING TRAPPED? SLOW DOWN!

“If you’re having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down. For me, slowing down has been a tremendous source of creativity. It has allowed me to open up — to know that there’s life under the earth and that I have to let it come through me in a new way. Creativity exists in the present moment. You can’t find it anywhere else.”
— Natalie Goldberg

Feeling trapped in some way? Give yourself space. Space to do nothing but breathe. To intentionally relax those tight muscles. To just for a few precious minutes, let it all go.

The world will keep turning if you tune out for a short while. And your world will begin to recover its balance.

“It’s important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don’t necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal’s rhythm of rest and activity.”
— Thomas Moore

Connection

“Path presupposes distance;
If he be near, thou needest no path at all.
Verily, it makes one smile
To hear of a fish in water needing a drink.”

-Kabir

We’re all on this spiritual path, right? And where is it leading to?
Back to our Selves! Somewhere on our journey we’ll realize that we don’t have to go anywhere or do anything to find God. God is not hiding from us! The Divine Presence is right here, where we are. Now and always.

Patience Requires Strength: Cat’s Angel Message for May 7, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




My biggest weakness is patience, wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop. – Paul Gleason




57: Humans are  impatient creatures. If we don’t see immediate results we can become frustrated and upset. The angels are reminding us today to have faith in yourself and in the Universe. Wheels have been set in motion and while the results may not be visible or tangible just yet we must have patience and allow things to unfold naturally. Keep in mind that things are always happening behind the scenes so continue to do your part by letting go of the what no longer serves you. This creates the room we will need for the bigger and better things that are headed our way.




 Archangel Sandalphon will make sure that your requests are sent to the angel or master who can best help you.  The Ascended Master Buddha brings us peace and teaches us about balance and moderation in all things and the Irish Goddess Dana reminds us that we are worthy of and deserve good things. She 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!” Today’s Sacred Stones are Rhodochrocite which promotes a loving and balanced approach to life and encourages a positive attitude balanced with creativity, Angelite helps us to connect to the angelic realms and is a stone of peace and brotherhood and Pyrite which helps to relieve frustration while boosting self confidence.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: May 7, 2018 “Under the Microscope”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			




Happy Monday,


We all have our strengths and our weaknesses. We all know where our limitations lie (if we are honest with ourselves) and we don’t need others to keep pointing them out. What we do need is the occasional compliment….. everyone NEEDS this. I’m not talking about fawning over or stroking someone’s ego. I’m talking about letting someone know that they have done a great job, thank you for helping out, or I like the way you did/handled that. Remember that compliments can be given to anyone at any time and are always a win-win situation.

Change and Transitions: Cat’s Angel Message for May 6, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization. – Bo Bennett




56: It’s true that change and it’s transitions can be difficult. However, they are necessary for our personal evolution. The angels are reminding us that during these times we are protected, cared for, and our need are being met. They are also asking us to continue to let go of the things that no longer serve us to keep making room the new blessings and opportunities that the universe is sending our way. The key is in not struggling or trying to force things to happen. Work with what you can control and allow the rest to unfold naturally.




Work with the Hindu God Ganesh today. For those who may not be familiar with him, Ganesh is an elephant headed deity from India. He is known as the remover of obstacles with the stamp of his might foot. He brings both prosperity and wisdom and loves to help writers and artists. If you have a home altar place a picture or small statue of Ganesh to promote peace and harmony in your home.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Chrysanthemum Stone which used in conjunction with Ganesh, can help to remove obstacles from our path. Since obstacles tend to pop up during periods of change, this stone promotes harmony and the balance we need to help our forward progress.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Welcome To The Adventure: Cat’s Angel Message for May 5, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




Life is a grand adventure – enjoy the ride. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




55:  When Change shows at our house in his beat up truck and tells us to get in you better buckle up because we’re going for a ride baby! To clear the way and make things easier start by letting go of anything that is no longer working for you or that you have outgrown. (People, activities, thoughts, old resentments etc.) Give these things over to the angels, then visualize packing up all the old things into a bag and tossing it off a bridge. I kid you not this visualization is truly empowering! The clearing away process creates the necessary space for better things. Remember, you deserve good things and life is too short to hang on to things that no longer bring you peace and joy!




Our helper’s today include the Greek God Apollo who helps us heal all emotional wounds and shows us how to replace unforgiveness with compassionate understanding. Archangel Jeremiel oversees life changes and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve spiritual growth to assist in letting go and the Hindu God Ganesh removes all obstacles from our path so that we can move forward.




Our Sacred Stones are Amethyst which promotes clear decision making and realistic goals while helping us move forward and create new beginnings. Selenite heals negativity and fear while cleansing your entire being, it also promotes Divine communication and Labradorite which is a companion crystal to change. It gives strength and helps us to persevere.

The Perfect Day: Cat’s Angel Message for May 4, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




Every day is the perfect day to ask yourself questions about your life goals, and how you plan to address those goals. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




54:  Today the universe is reassuring us that the changes we are experiencing are for the best. Even though things in our lives  may not be perfect change draws new blessings and people who make it interesting and help us to grow. These periods of growth are an important part of life and the truth is that we are all striving to be the best person that we can be. Remember, the key is to go with the flow  and try not to fight or resist the changes taking place. Just  do your best to allow them to happen and work with them, making the best choices that you can. The Angels and the Divine are here to help and support us during them important personal transitions.




Archangel Michael is the go to angel. he surrounds us with protection all the time including during periods of change. He provides direction when we need it and the motivation and commitment to see things through as well as helping us to clear space for new things.




The Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She teaches us that must be fully embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Changes inspire and encourage us to transcend our self imposed limitations and the Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it, creating the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.




Our Sacred Stones for today include Amethyst (the crystal of Michael)  which  has a powerful protective energy. It guards against all forms of psychic attack and takes that energy and transmutes it into positive vibrations and it provides focus and calms the mind so that we can proceed with positive momentum. Labradorite is associated with Oya. It is a good companion crystal that provides the strength and perseverance needed to navigate the winds of change.

Thought For The Day: May 4, 2018 ” Think Before You Speak”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			




Happy Friday,


Today’s message asks us to think before we speak. This can sometimes be difficult. Anger doesn’t usually “just happen” . It’s been sitting there and simmering for a while.  When the catalyst is right we explode. Remember that words spoken in anger cannot be taken back. Before unleashing on someone take a moment and put yourself on pause, breathe, walk away if you have to and think about what you want to say. Even though there is sometimes no nice way to say something we can choose our words and actions to have a more positive impact while still getting our point across.

MBG: These Essential Oils Will Make You Fall Asleep Faster – And Help You Stay Asleep All Night Long


Is there anything worse than insomnia? Whether it’s chronic or situational depending on stress levels, there’s nothing worse than lying awake all night with your mind racing, wondering if you’ll ever get to sleep as the minutes tick by. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s the worst. Enter a fix I never saw coming but am so, so glad I found: A co-worker handed me essential oils, and my sleep (and life) has never been the same.

Patheos-Pagan: Shifting Perspectives With The Hanged Man


Over the years I’ve picked up many different techniques of interpretation with tarot readings in my tarot practice.

Each tarot card can mean many different things and the traditional meanings have evolved and shifted several times over its history.

Inner Journey: 

PURPOSE BRINGS JOY


“Our purpose is hidden in our joy, our inspiration, our excitement. As we act on what shows up in our life our purpose shows up.”

— James King


For many of us, our joy is truly activated when we get a bigger picture of who we are and why we are here.


Most of us need to enlarge our self-concept. We may see ourselves as a bag of bones but, in truth, we are eternal, multi-faceted and multi-dimensional spiritual beings having a human experience. It’s time to think of ourselves as much larger and grander than just a physical and emotional being confined in a body.


“There is no more important step you can take than to define your life’s purpose. It develops your sense of belonging to our universe.”

— Arnold Patent

Friendship


“However deep our devotion may be to parents, or to children, it is our contemporaries alone with whom understanding is instinctive and entire.” -Vera Britain, Testament of Youth (1933)


Some people say that we can’t choose our parents or our children, but we can choose our friends. I don’t know if that is entirely true. I think there is some reason we have the family that we have, either by divine agreement or for learning purposes. I also think that our friends are our friends for a reason, too. We’re making choices all the time, and our friends are making choices, too. And somehow, those choices brought us together. And because we are brought together, we grow. We experience more of what life is about. Understanding is huge! To find a friend who truly understands is a magnificent gift.

Beliefnet: 5 Buddhist Teachings All People Can Practice


As Westerners have become increasingly interested in meditation and mindfulness practices, they have become more and more interested in the religions that are most often associated with meditation and mindfulness. Eastern spirituality has received unexpected attention from people who want to lower stress levels and learn to keep themselves in the present moment. Yoga classes have exploded and being or feeling zen has become accepted vernacular.

In Charge of Our Attitude: Cat’s Angel Message for May 3, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things




We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you … we are in charge of our attitudes. – Charles Swindoll




53: Change is a constant part of life whether we like it or not. Too often we find ourselves fighting against it. However, when we embrace it and allow it to unfold instead of struggling with it we find  the transition goes more smoothly. Today the Ascended Masters are stepping in to help us clear the way for the changes that we are experiencing. Ask them to assist you in letting go of any old and rigid thinking that could be holding you back as it will ease our fears and our stress levels. Choose your battles wisely and remember that change will happen one way or the other. The key lies in HOW we deal with it. Work with what you can but don’t struggle with what you can’t.




 Serapis Bey  helps us to gain spiritual insight and teaches us that loving care plays an essential role in navigating change. Vywamus provides inspiration and helps us discover our unique talents that can help us along the way, and Maitreya, the Laughing Buddha, helps us to release stress and worry through the healing power of laughter.




These Sacred Stones can help as well, Rose Quartz soothes the emotions and brings peace of mind, Azurite-Malachite helps us to accept our personal power and confidence which will reduce stress and Cerussite promotes grounding and teaches us how to understand the changes we are experiencing.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
