Seeing For The First Time: Cat’s Angel Message for March 28, 2018 

 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.



Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory. – Betty Smith






328: Prosperity and abundance comes in many forms and encompasses more than just money. It is ultimately up to us to recognize and acknowledge the blessings within our lives. Too often people focus on money or material things instead of seeing the whole picture. Today the Universe is reminding us that we live in the flow of divine abundance. It surrounds everything we do and it’s important to to be aware of our prosperity on all levels. The old adage of “counting your blessings” is key for today. Acknowledge your personal prosperity and abundance and embrace the richness of your life!




  Angels of Abundance include Raziel who helps to manifest prosperity and abundance, Barakiel who brings good fortune and helps us to open our hearts to receive. Gamaliel who brings gifts, blessings and abundance and Pathiel who helps to open the gates of positive manifestation. Other helpers for today are the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi who teaches us that all the riches worth having already reside within us and the Ascended Master Buddha who teaches about balancing our all areas of life and the peace brought through moderation.




Our Sacred Stones for today are:  Larimar to help free you from addiction to the material world, Rose Quartz to help you see life through the eyes of love which helps us to appreciate what we have and the simple pleasures and Tree Agate (Dendritic), known as the stone of plentitude, both promotes abundance while showing us the “wealth” we already have.

Thought For The Day: March 28, 2018 “Seeking The Truth”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Wednesday,


Do you remember the old saying “There are two sides to every story” ? It’s true! Too often we allow ourselves to see only one side of something because it’s easier than looking for the truth. Before making decisions or believing everything you hear it’s always a good idea to look at it from a different angle. Always be informed, always look for the truth and never stop seeking answers.

Mind Body Green: How To Take Your Meditation Outdoors


It wasn’t until late in my life that I realized the power and influence of meditative movement on cultivating a healthy mindset. Perhaps it was just ignorance, or maybe I just was not ready. The prevailing philosophy, which works for many, is to sit down and meditate. As a self-classified Type A personality, calming my mind and focus has never come very easily, so adjusting to the silence and physical inactivity required for meditation proved ineffective.

A Bountiful Moment


I would rather attempt to do something great and fail than attempt to do nothing and succeed.  ~Robert H. Schuller


Daily Thought: Getting caught in the mediocrity of life is easy. There is no effort or reward to just waking and living and allowing the day to drive your actions and reactions. Personal well-being occurs when you have set goals and become determined to achieve what you believe to be your right course. Maintain your actions by remembering that your goals are important to achieve. That by you getting better everyone and everything around you will grow too.


Daily Practice: Recommit to the goals you have set and begun to achieve. Do not allow a moment of pause or distraction from others to derail what it is you have thought about, planned for, and begun to act on. Stay focused. Re-evaluate, re-establish, and re-commit. What do you need to do next to maintain the forward momentum that you have already started?


Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey: Questions That Aren’t Helpful


“We accept many notions because they seem to be the logical answers to our questions. But have we asked the right questions?”

— Harold L. Klawans


Sometimes we ask questions for which we really don’t want the answer! Nonetheless, when we ask a question, our subconscious minds will get to work to answer us.


Here are some examples of questions we want to avoid:

•What’s wrong with me?

•How long could this take?

•What could go wrong?

•How much trouble could it be?

•How hard could it be?


Asking questions can be empowering – as long as they’re smart questions!


“The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.”

— Anthony Jay

MNN: ‘Sex, Lies and Butterflies’: Documentary takes a high-def look at these extraordinary insects


They’re beautiful, they’re delicate, they’re imperiled. But butterflies are also highly sophisticated, tough and not above using deception and warfare to get ahead in this world.


Nearly 20,000 species of butterflies exist around the Earth, and with 50 million years of evolution under their belts, the diversity is simply jaw-dropping. So, it’s no wonder that PBS Nature is taking a very close look at the lives of these extraordinary insects.

It’s Your Creation: Cat’s Angel Message for March 27, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 


 The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time. – don Miguel Ruiz






327: Spring is the season of new beginnings,  new growth and change, all of which is are integral parts of our path. So how do you know if you are on the right path and headed in the right direction? First of all remember that everyone’s path is unique and you are truly the only one who knows what’s best for you. Walking your path involves courage, trust in Spirit, ourselves and our own inner magick. We are being reminded that our intuition is a valuable gift. We are all able to discern right from wrong, what feels right and what doesn’t and what brings us joy. Now add to that your intuitive gifts and you’ll find your path and new paths opening up before you .  If you are unsure of your next “step” take some time to think about or meditate on where you want to be then move forward making the necessary adjustments as you go. Allow yourself to move forward with confidence, set you intentions high and know that the the Universe is there to help you.






 




 


The combination of Archangel Michael and Ascended Master Saint Germain provides direction, courage and motivation as we travel along our path. Both also offer protection,  Michael on all levels and Germain on the psychic. Between these two they definitely have you covered. The Hindu Goddess Kali oversees the ending of cycles and personal transformation. Kali’s energy is like a powerful storm that clears away what we no longer need and replaces it with focus for new beginnings, and the courage and motivation we need to see things through.




Our Sacred Stones for today:  Turquoise brings mental and spiritual clarity which is essential to staying on track with our path, Moonstone helps to combat repeated cycles and patterns that keep us from moving forward so that we can embrace change and new beginnings. Garnet brings courage and the awareness of change and how to go with the flow and Hessonite Garnet brings courage where new challenges arise.

Thought For The Day: March 27, 2018 “Unique Individuals”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Tuesday,


While our thought for the day is about art this can also apply to to how we present ourselves. We are all unique individuals or in other words “unique art”.We all have flaws and things we wish we could change. When we are down on ourselves that’s what the world sees. But when we allow our true inner beauty (yes guys, this applies to you too!) to shine through this is what the world will remember! Now let’s get out there and sparkle!

Mind Body Green: How Being Present In Your Grief Can Help You Move Beyond It


The fabric of humanity is made of many threads of emotional experience. One of those is grief. None of us are exempt from the grips of grief, and at some point on the journey of life, we’ll be faced with the death of a dear friend, parent, pet, spouse, or child. And actually, it’s this shared sense of grief that exists as the common denominator between human hearts. Grief penetrates the depths of our hearts, sinking into the recesses of our inner life. The path of mindfulness offers us a powerful way to turn toward our darkness to reignite our light for living.

Patheos-Pagan: Building a Home Shrine


I spent the weekend building a home shrine. All this time and I’ve never really had one, at least not intentionally. There are plenty of sacred spaces in the house, don’t get me wrong. I have special tabletops and shelves that tend to accumulate meaningful objects, and I have a working altar in my bedroom. Our coven’s altar is erected fresh every time we have circle. I also maintain an altar to Freya, so it’s not that I’m necessarily lacking in sacred space.

Inner Journey: Imagine Your ideal Future


“Your imagination is your preview to life’s coming attractions.”

— Albert Einstein


If you were to create an ideal future for yourself, what would it be like?


All things that now exist in form were once simply ideas in consciousness. We each hold the power to manifest different circumstances for our lives. If we wish to manifest a new reality for ourselves, we need to consistently focus our imagination on the ideals we seek to realize.


Remember to explore your ideal in terms of qualities, not people or things. What qualities do you most want in life? Freedom? Respect? Playfulness? Abundance? Whatever qualities you seek, imagine experiencing them now and be open to new ways to discover those qualities appearing in your life.


“Change is created by those whose imaginations are bigger than their circumstances”

— Unknown source

MNN: Why ‘lazy’ lawn mowers are heroes for bees














There’s no shame in an unmowed lawn. Not only can wild yards and gardens look better than commonly believed, but cutting back on cutting grass can save significant time, energy and money. According to a new study, it could even help save bees.


Led by ecologist Susannah Lerman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the U.S. Forest Service, the study examined how homeowners can boost bee habitat with their lawn-care habits. Mowing every other week seems to be the sweet spot.

Making The Effort: Cat’s Angel Message for March 26, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession. – Carlos Castaneda






326: One of the jobs that our angels perform is to insure that our needs are being met. While sometimes it may not feel like it, in all reality it is. In today’s society people tend to want more than they need to live. If you look around you can probably find a surplus of THINGS that you could do without. (I know I can) When the angels tell us that they are making sure sure our needs are met they are speaking of the necessities. Money to pay our bills, food, shelter, clothing etc. They are here to assist, not to provide excess. If we aspire to have more then we need we must to do our part to make it happen. Working with angels, ascended masters etc. is a partnership! Today we are reminded that our needs truly are being met. Take a moment to offer gratitude for life and for what you have!






Archangel Uriel can help us in any area of life. One of his powers lies in helping us to solve problems that crop up unexpectedly. He shows us the best way to work through them so that we free up our energy and invite progress. The Hindu deities Ganesh and Green Tara can also help. Ganesh helps us to avoid and remove any obstacles that fall into our path. He teaches us that such things are usually self imposed and that the core of these issues lies in our fear of moving forward. Green Tara who is sometimes called the “speedy ” goddess helps us when we need emergency aid, whether it’s spiritual or physical assistance, or money issues she hears and answers all requests.




Our Sacred Stones for today are: Nebula Stone which allows you to see the value of the things around you and promotes the appreciation of what you have , Labradorite which allows magic to happen, reduces stress and anxiety while letting you see all the possible solutions and  Chrysoprase helps us to patterns and cycles that are holding us back and how to break them.

Thought For The Day: March 26, 2018 “Keeping Things Simple”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Monday,


As human beings we tend to over think and make things more complicated than they need to be.  Just look at the list below. It all comes down to communication. So before you get mad, because someone doesn’t understand you or can’t read you mind, just ask yourself this question ” Have I communicated my needs, wants or desires clearly?” Never assume that others “just know” Remember that communication reduces complication.

Falling Apart To Fall Together: Cat’s Angel Message for March 25, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 


I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. – Marilyn Monroe






 325:  Change is an important part of life. It can happen gradually or drop in out of the blue. To promote our own growth we need to be willing to embrace change no matter how or when it happens. By fighting these changes we find ourselves stuck emotionally, mentally and spiritually. However, when we allow change to happen it invites new things and people into our lives. This bring new growth and opportunities that will help us as we create our path If the proverbial winds of change are blowing through your life the Angels and Ascended Masters are sending you this message: ” These changes are for the best even though some may be difficult to accept or seem scary.. We are here to make sure that you and your loved ones are safe and cared for during this time. We are surrounding you with protective,  peaceful energy and are helping to take away any pain, fear or negativity that you may be experiencing.”




 


Change comes in many forms and we have some powerful helpers on our side. Archangel Azrael not only helps comfort the dying and help them to cross over, he also helps the grieving to cope with the changes and feelings that losing a loved one creates. Archangel Jeremiel helps us in all areas of life changes, while Archangel Michael surrounds us with protection. The Celtic Goddess Cordelia also assists with life changes and helps us to see, feel and find joy in the new process and The Ascended Master El Morya helps to stop negative thought patterns and the energy they generate. He teaches us how to stay centered and focused on our commitment to create a better life for ourselves.




Sacred Stones that help with change are Smokey Quartz, this stone helps keep our perspective grounded while it removes fear of change and promotes awareness of your dreams and goals. Iolite gently eases the pain that change can bring and helps us to live in the moment and Crocoite helps ease the bigger shifts of change like death or divorce by soothing the emotions and helping us to cope

Using Our  Gifts:  Cat’s Angel Message for March 24, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 


 We have a choice – we can both think and feel, using our heads and our hearts. – Yakov Smirnoff






324:  The more we work with the angels and the ascended masters the stronger our connection with them becomes. The angels/ascended masters send us messages every day. It’s our job to allow ourselves to be open to receiving them. Our own intuition works the same way, the more we listen to it the greater our faith in ourselves becomes. Today we are being asked to be open to communication on all levels. If you’re not sure of a message ask for clarification. Never be afraid of the message or an answer, and even if it’s not what we wanted to hear it is sent with love and the desire on the angels part to help us be our best!






You can call upon any Archangel or Ascended Master at anytime for assistance. A few specific ones include Archangel Haniel who helps us to access our intuition and our other unique gifts and Archangel Michael  helps us by promoting courage confidence. The Ascended Master Maitreya helps to bring joy and laughter to our lives. He teaches us that these things bring greater clarity and a new perspective.




Technically any stone or crystal that is special to you can be used to connect to the Divine realms so use your favorite one today, or you can use Angelite, Apophyllite or Celestite to connect to the angels or Moldavite for the Ascended Masters. If you are still undecided Rose Quartz is always a good choice!
