Change is Knocking: Cat’s Angel Message for April 5, 2018 

 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.


 One expected growth, change; without it, the world was less, the well of inspiration dried up, the muses fled. – Charles de Lint

45:  In previous readings we have talked about how change is necessary for our overall growth. Unwillingness to embrace change not only only keeps us from growing it keeps us from moving forward and fulfilling our dreams and goals. Our energy becomes blocked and all the wonderful things that Universe is trying to send us doesn’t arrive. Today is a reminder to stop fighting the changes that life is offering. You know what you need to do and now is time to allow these things to happen. How we view change lies in our perception of it. There are two choices, fear change or see change as a new adventure. Remember that a long with our human support system we also have the Universe on our side as well. Ask for help, courage and strength and they will be there for you. The changes that you make are a good thing and will benefit you and your loved ones. Be bold and embrace these changes head on!

As you work with change call on Cordelia the Celtic Goddess of Spring. She can help you face these changes with a light heart or the Yoruban Goddess Oya who teaches us that change should not be feared but embraced as an adventure. Archangel Jeremiel can assist in all areas of life changes and the Ascended Master Maitreya who shows us that the path to change ins’t so scary when faced with laughter and joy.


Our Sacred Stones for today include: Zincite which helps us manifest our full potential as we embrace life’s changes. Bloodstone brings the ability to adapt to change more easily and Chrysocolla which allows us to accept change with calmness and serenity making for smoother transitions.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: April 5, 2018 “What Does Normal Mean Anyway?”

Happy Thursday,
We’re all unique and in our own way we’re all normal. Sometimes we have doubts about ourselves and sometimes we wonder if we talked, acted or looked different if we would be happier.  Happy people are the ones who accept themselves and everything about them. Do they want to change things… of course. The difference is that they want to change to please themselves, not somebody else. Love yourself and everything about you. Dare to be yourself, the unique, amazingly “normal” person that you are!

A Bountiful Moment

The answers to your questions, dreams, desires are around you everywhere you just need to be aware.

Daily Thought: It is easy to feel like you don’t have the answers or become overwhelmed at a situation that is new. But the answer to what is creating the anxiety is there right in front of you. All you have to do is sit still for a moment and listen. Quieting your mind and being open to the answers that surround you is the challenge not the situation you are facing.

Daily Practice: When you are faced with a challenge today look at it clearly by quieting your mind and looking past what is creating the fear. Take a deep breathe in and slowly release it two to three times. Now relook at the situation and act on the solution that enters your mind. Move through the situation by acting not thinking.

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Patheos-Pagan: Paganism as an Orientation

Back at the end of February I came across this excellent piece by Heron Michelle titled Witchery as an Orientation and Sacred Mission. It’s her story of how being a witch isn’t a choice for her – it’s part of who and what she is. The essay is worth your time to read in its entirety – here’s a key quote:

Witchery isn’t a choice for me. There is a being-ness to witchery, the aptitude for deeply, broadly sensing a far greater “normal” than others … Those with an orientation of witchery, naturally glide past the veil of illusion as our second-nature. This tends to become isolating, as muggle-society pushes us to the fringes, and calls us “crazy.”

Inner Journey: Open to Awareness

“Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can. In the process, we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding.”
— Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn

Why do we want to become more aware?

If we remain unaware, we:
•repeat the past,
•remain stuck in relationships,
•live superficial, literal and one dimensional lives,
•lack experiences of love and beauty, and
•have limited connection to others and the universe.

With awareness, we are fully involved with life. Awareness is sensing deeply and sensitively for what really is. To do this, we need to approach the present as totally new. When we can be open and attentive in each moment, we begin to free ourselves from the conditioning of the past and the suffering that it so often brings.

“If moment by moment you can keep your mind clear then nothing will confuse you.”
— Sheng Yen

A Note from the Universe

Wake up! Remember what excites you! Think of these things, those friends, and the adventures that can be yours! Focus. Care. Fantasize. Imagine. It’s all so near. Speak as if you’re ready. Paste new pictures in your scrapbook, on your vision board, and around your home and office. Physically prepare for the changes that you wish to experience in your life. You’ve done this before. You know it works. You’re due for an encore. It’s time to amaze. That’s why you’re there.

And it’s why I’m here

No Conditions: Cat’s Angel Message for April 4, 2018

No Conditions: Cat’s Angel Message for April 4, 2018 

 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.


 It is a law of life that problems arise when conditions are there for their solution. – Walter Sisulu

 
44: Our Spiritual Helpers (Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters and Deities that are not our patron) surround us all the time even though we may not be aware of it. Their job is to protect, help and guide us when we need it. Our helpers will always do what’s best for us, but remember that we limit their influence when we give them specific instructions or place conditions on what kind of help we need. Asking for help and then letting them do their job opens the way to receiving all the blessings the Universe has in store for us including some we never even dreamed of!

Strike up a line of conversation and communication with your Spiritual Helpers today and simply ask for what you need right now. (protection, healing, assistance etc.) You can also call on the Archangels for help or for specific concerns:


Ariel helps with all areas of environment concerns and animals.

Azrael helps the grieving and those who are transitioning.

Chamuel helps in all areas of relationships.

Gabriel helps artists and all issues of fertility.

Haniel enhances our healing abilities

Jeremiel helps us make positive life changes.

Jophiel helps to work through ugly situations and promotes a new positive light on them

Metatron helps issues involving children.

Michael offers protection.

Raguel empowers the underdog and helps resolve arguments.

Raphael assists in all areas of healing.

Raziel helps us to manifest what we need.

Sandalphon delivers our prayers to the Divine and to specific angels or ascended masters.

Uriel helps in all areas and life lessons

Use  one of your  angel crystals today, Angelite, Celestite, Apophyllite, Seraphinite or Moldavite to assist in divine communication.

 

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: April 4, 2018 “Building Your Dream”

Happy Wednesday,
Everyone’s dreams are important….. yours, mine and theirs. Each of us is responsible for building our own and we can’t rely on others to do it for us. Sometimes we get suckered in to helping others  create their dream. They don’t care about your dream they just want you on board to help make theirs happen. This is not okay. Remember that your dream is just as important as theirs. if it meshes with yours… great! If not then make sure that you don’t let yours fall by the wayside. Our dreams create hope and energy which we need on this adventure we call life!

Beliefnet: Angel Feather Colours and Their Meanings

Our angels like to send us signs to let us know they are listening and working on our prayers and requests. Symbols like feathers are most important when they are meaningful to the person who receives them, especially if you have asked your angels for a sign. The first question to ask is “What does the sign mean to me?” What were you doing or thinking about when you noticed the sign or feather? When analyzing anything, ask yourself first always, “What does this mean to me?”

A Bountiful Moment

Know your truth and act accordingly.

Daily Thought: Do not be distracted by the noise of the day. Act on what you know will be the future you and allow today to take care of itself. Be confident that you have already set into action all that is occurring so you can continue to create what is going to happen in your tomorrow.

Daily Practice: Visualize today the completion of something you have set into motion. See yourself doing it. What do you look like? Where are you at? What and who is around you? Spend time in that space several times today and act as if you are already there.

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey:
LIVING THE ADVENTURE

“I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man’s life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.”

Peace

“Our goal must be not peace in our time but peace for all time.”  -Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) Informal remarks, Galesberg, Illinois, 1950

In turbulent times, where is our attention? On the problem? Or on the desired outcome? What can we do to help the world situation, while we are here comfortable in our homes and we know that others are suffering? We can’t all go out and battle, nor would that help even if we could. We must think peace. We must bring our attention to peace. We must create a unified consciousness of PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TO ALL. We must build a class consciousness of love and caring. Starting right here and right now, with each one of us.

Support Is A Blessing: Cat’s Angel Message for April 3, 2018 

KODAK Digital Still Camera

 

Support Is A Blessing: Cat’s Angel Message for April 3, 2018 

 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.


 When your whole family is loving and supportive, it is a great blessing. But when family members are indifferent or hostile, release your expectations, and find the love and support you need elsewhere. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

43: Everyone needs a loving support system, and this consists of friends and family. However we also have help in the Divine realms in the form of the angels,the ascended masters or our patron Goddess/God. By sharing our hopes, dreams, fears or even grief with our support systems the wheels begin to turn and things are set in motion.  By working together we can elevate our success and healing rate. We then find that we are able to work the small miracles that enrich our lives as well as appreciating the tiny miracles that bring peace and joy on a daily level.

Archangel Azrael can assist those experiencing grief, Archangel Michael helps us to find solutions to problems and surrounds with protection. The Ascended Master Buddha brings us to find peace on all levels and the Hindu God Ganesh helps to remove the things that stand in our way. For healing of heart and spirit The Celtic Goddess Nemetona (Lady of the Sacred Grove)  teaches us how heal through nature and wild places and the Goddess Sulis teaches us about the healing and spiritually cleansing power of water.

Our Sacred Stones for today are:  Rose Quartz, this essential healing stone truly helps on so many levels. It’s gentle energy soothes our emotions and hearts. It helps us to both give and receive love and shows us a positive side to the world around us. Amazonite helps to soothe emotional trauma as it eases stress and worry and Pink Beryl (Morganite) helps us to overcome  resistance to healing. It also promotes awareness of any unfulfilled emotional needs and feelings that need to be expressed.

 

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Inner Journey: To Support Or Not

It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.”
— Douglas Hurd

Are you struggling financially because you are helping another adult who is being irresponsible around money?

Without intending to do so, we can keep people dependent when we are willing to financially rescue them. Enablers typically feel it’s their duty to help out. They may see giving money as an expression of love. Unfortunately, they may lose their own financial security as a result.

As hard as it may be to do, the solution may lie in forcing the dependent to find his or her own way financially. In this case, it’s not selfish to not lend a hand — it actually serves the highest interests of all. Learning personal responsibility can be a tough road but it’s a necessary one for empowerment.

“Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon them and to let them know that you trust them.”
— Booker T. Washington

Peace

“Love is not a doctrine. Peace is not an international agreement. Love and Peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.” ~Mary Caroline Richards, (Centering, 1964)

This time of year, and particularly this year, I find myself thinking more about peace, and about peace on earth. If we are correct, and it all begins with each of us, then it is more important than ever to find peace within ourselves. We all know how to find that peace through our spiritual practices. So, practice, practice, practice! And then bring that beautiful peace out into the world where it is so needed.

In the Scheme Of Things: Cat’s Angel Message for April 2, 2018

KODAK Digital Still Camera

In the Scheme Of Things: Cat’s Angel Message for April 2, 2018 

 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.


 It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. – Confucius

 42: There are times when life is difficult or things just aren’t going our way. When this happens we can lose faith in ourselves, the world or with the divine. Everyone goes through this, we are only human after all. When we feel negative we draw that kind of energy to us so it’s important to recognize and acknowledge it and then do our best to nip it in the bud. Today the Angels are reminding us that they are here and  that our prayers and requests have been heard and are being answered. If you find yourself bogged down with fear, worry or negative energy try one of the following: smudge yourself with sage, go outside and ground yourself, meditate or take a nature walk. This self care will help clear your energy field as well as your mind.

Today we are working with Archangels Uriel and Michael. Archangel Uriel helps us to work through life lessons and assists us in solving the problems that life throws at us and Archangel Michael brings courage when we need it most and helps us to find direction and stay on track. The Ascended Master Jesus helps us when we find ourselves lacking in faith, he promotes peace within and helps us feel Divine love and the Egyptian Goddess Maat helps us to find truth and clarity when we are confused.


Along with our spiritual helpers we can use Smoky Quartz which is a powerful protector against negative energy and helps our forward progress and Blue-green Chrysocolla to transmute negative emotions into positive feelings. This is a feel better stone that can help reduce stress and tension.


Bright blessings for a magickal day! Cat
