Thought For The Day: February 26, 2018 “Of Being Yourself”

Posted on by

Happy Monday ,

Self happiness is found by always being yourself not by being what others want you to be.

Love is found in the ability to love unconditionally and remaining true to yourself in the process.

Personal growth lies in the ability to really listen and take responsibility for yourself without making excuses.

Speaking from the heart teaches us that speaking with compassion is often the best way to get our point across.

Persistent Simplification: Cat’s Angel Message for February 25, 2018  

February’s Theme:  Trusting in the “unseen” and  believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.




The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace.

A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being

that places harmony in one’s life.

– Peace Pilgrim




  225:  We all experience times in our lives when it becomes necessary to let go of  outdated and outgrown things like habits, relationships, material items and thought patterns. Hanging on to these things after their “expiration date” can become a crutch that we use when we are afraid to move on. This inhibits our personal and spiritual growth and causes us to flounder. Today the angels are asking us to start letting go of the things that no longer work for us. They know that this  can be difficult and sometimes painful. However, the benefits and freedom obtained in the process will clear our path and propel us forward. It will also bring us new opportunities, growth and blessings that help us to achieve what we want most.




Archangel Zadkiel teaches us about forgiveness as he  gently helps us to forgive ourselves and others so that we can continue moving forward as situations are healed. The Egyptian Goddess Isis teaches us about patience as we enter periods of personal growth. She encourages us to celebrate each step in the process no matter how small it may seem and Ascended Master Babaji teaches us that emotional and spiritual baggage takes up a lot of room and  it is through the letting go process that we learn the joy of simplifying our lives for the better.




Our Sacred Stones for today are Black Agate which helps us to access our inner power and gives us strength to do what we must and Labradorite to relieve fear and insecurity caused by old hurts and disappointments. It also strengthens our faith as it removes the projections of others that are holding us back.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!  ~ Cat

You Can Change: Cat’s Angel Message for February 5, 2018  




February’s Theme:  Trusting in the “unseen” and  believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.




 


The dream you are living is your creation.

It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time.

– don Miguel Ruiz




 25: Change is an ongoing part of life and without it life would be pretty boring. The way we see these change is based on our perception. If we see these changes in a negative light it can create difficulties for us. But if we look for something positive in them then we grow in unimagined ways. If you are experiencing changes right now or changes are on your horizon the angels want you to know that things are going according to your divine plan and that these changes are for the best. They will bring you a much needed and fresh outlook. So have faith in yourself and remember that the Universe is on your side and that you are safe and protected. Embrace these changes and  flourish in this new cycle!


 






 Archangel Uriel helps us to create new solutions to solve problems and Archangel Raphael helps us to make way for new things by finding the strength to let go and move on.  The Ascended Master Melchizedek helps to diffuse unpleasant situations that change sometimes creates and  the Buddhist goddess Tara, in her Green aspect, helps us to find the strength we need to take action and move past our fears. Our Sacred Stones for today are Tourmaline and Iolite. The gemstone Tourmaline promotes courage when we are faced with new challenges and Iolite fills our heart center with healing energy and ease the process of change.










Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Being Yourself: Cat’s Angel Message for January 29, 2018  


January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


When I’m trusting and being myself….. everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously. 


Shakti Gawain


129: Today the angels are reminding us to trust in ourselves and the the guidance that receive from within. Our intuition is a powerful ally, however we sometimes have the tendency to ignore it in favor of outside influences as well as our own ego getting in the way.. The lesson here is learning to trust ourselves and in our abilities. By learning to trust that inner voice we gain self confidence, inner peace and the firm foundation we need to step into our own power. As confidence is gained so does the power of our inner wisdom. Use your natural talents and gifts to help create a new self reliant you. One who has the confidence to sift through the external noise around them and choose the direction best suited for their personal growth.


Archangel Jeremiel can teach us about our inner workings at the intuitive level and how to use the information we receive to the best of our ability. The Greek goddess Artemis can assist us in learning to access and trust our intuition. She is particularly helpful to women who seek to seek to embrace their feminine power and the Ascended Master Sanat Kumara  teaches us how to put our ego in the back seat so that the inner wisdom we receive comes through clearly. Our Sacred Stones for today are:


Magnetite which promotes trust in ourselves and in our own inner wisdom.


Black Sapphire helps to stimulate confidence in our intuitive gifts.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

May Your Mountains Rise: Cat’s Angel Message for January 28, 2018  


January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


May your trails be crooked, winding,

lonesome,

dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

– Edward Abbey


128: Today our spiritual helpers are asking us to rise above the days drama and distractions. By staying focused on your goals we find that new doors and paths open up for us. To take advantage of these we need to be willing to let go of old habits and thought patterns. Inner wisdom will tell you that these things keep you sidetracked from getting things accomplished. We must also be flexible because when one door opens another closes. This initiates and activates growth and opportunity. Remember, the angels will not do this for you and you must do your part to make things happen. The combination of thoughts, actions and energies will all play a major role in our overall success and the key is in maintaining focus and keeping an optimistic  outlook to make things flow.


Archangel Uriel helps us to solve any problems that pop up and he promotes new and creative ideas to help us open those new doors.  The Hindu god Ganesh removes the obstacles that are keeping us from moving forward, these include obstacles that we create for ourselves and  The Greek goddess Hecate can teach us the importance of releasing the past and the things that are holding us back so that we can move forward. Our Sacred Stones for today are:


Ametrine helps to release  blocks like negative emotional programing, it helps us to grow on all levels while encouraging us to explore all possibilities and finding creative solutions. 


Agate is a humble stone, however it helps raise our consciousness and awareness of life. It brings spiritual growth and inner strength as it helps us to find the value in our life experiences.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Getting Lost Is Getting Found: Cat’s Angel Message for January 27, 2018  


January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


The more you let yourself be distracted from where you are going, the more you are the person that you are. It’s not so much like getting lost as it is like getting found.


William Stafford


127: Everyone’s  “Life Path” is unique and once we set our course we tend to follow where it leads us. Often we’re alone, sometimes taking side paths as we grow and change and sometime merging with the paths of others. There are even time when we leave our path altogether and wander. The wandering can be a good thing as we forge ahead and create a new path, although sometimes we get a little lost and have trouble finding our way back. Today our spiritual helpers are reminding us that if we are feeling lost for feel that we have lost our path and are wandering without direction that we simply need to ask for help. Call upon your goddess, the angels or the Universe and allow them to guide you back onto the path. Remember that our path do change. These changes help us to grow so believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to strike off in a new direction or side path if it calls to your heart. Take time today to acknowledge your personal growth and plant or tend to your thought seeds. Above all, give yourself a BIG hug. You are doing fine and any assistance you need  is only a request away!


Archangels Chamuel and Michael are here to help today. Chamuel helps us to recover what is lost. If you feel like you have lost your way he can help and Michael provides guidance and direction as he restores our belief in ourselves. The Celtic goddess Brigid is the female equivalent of Archangel Michael. She also offers guidance and direction as she helps you back onto your path or helps you find a new, more fulfilling one. Our sacred Stones for the day are:


Amethyst can be used for both Brigid and Archangel Michael. This is a protective crystal that helps us to cope with both change and new beginnings.


Carnelian is also associated with the goddess Brigid. Brigid helps to stoke the fires of inspiration and creative thought. Both of which are necessary as we navigate out path.


Snowflake Obsidian reduces feelings of fear and helps us with focus and clarity.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Choosing What’s Important: Cat’s Angel Message for January 11, 2018  


January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


It’s a matter of choosing what is most important to

you and putting that first.

Once you have recognized your true purpose in life,

this becomes much easier.

– Clarence Clemons


111: We are receiving a reminder today about watching our thoughts. The number 111 is all about manifestation and prosperity so keep this month’s theme in mind because choosing your thoughts with care and direction will be the key to success. 111 is also a repeating number and strongly resonates with new beginnings, individuality, success, growth, and positive decision making. Don’t waste your energy on negative or fearful thinking lest you inadvertently manifest those instead. Make sure that your thoughts match your dreams and goals and keep things on the positive side of the path. If you do find yourself tilting toward worry or fear acknowledge these feelings and then turn them over to the angels to transform into something better.




 The Hindu goddess Lakshmi helps us to make decisions that are best suited for planning for the future. The Hawaiian goddess Pele helps us to channel our inner fire in a positive way that brings renewed energy and achievement  of our goals. The Ascended Master Solomon teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult areas. Our Sacred Stone for today is Sapphire. This gemstone provides direction where when we need it as it quiets the mind  and eases uncertainty. It also attracts prosperity and other good things directly to us.

The Seeds You Plant: Cat’s Angel Message for January 5 , 2018  


January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.


Robert Louis Stevenson


15: A new year brings many things that are change related. For example when we make New Year’s resolutions we are attempting to initiate personal changes. We often see change as a scary thing however more often than not these changes are good things. Change = Growth, so try seeing  these changes as seeds to be planted and nurtured. By perceiving change in this way we find that we have more control and are more prepared when our ‘seeds of change”  grow to maturity. Today the Universe is telling us that something in our life is about to change and new things are headed our way. These changes will be for the better so don’t let fear hold you back. Remember, the seeds of change that you plant along your path will help pave the way for success. Ask for Divine help if you need it and listen to your inner wisdom. You know what you need to do and this is about creating the life you want.


Archangel Jeremiel helps us to release the fears and worries associated with making changes and he can also show you the changes that need to be made to move forward. If your changes involve children or family the goddess Damara can help with issues in these areas and the Ascended Master, El Morya keeps us grounded as he guides us through the decisions that affect change. Our Sacred Stones for today are:




Amber to help us to attain our goals with clear focus.


Mookite helps to stay flexible during periods of change and keeps us open to experiencing new things.


Larimar helps us to chill out nad go with the flow.

January’s Theme: Focus on dreams and goals not your fears or past happenings. Thoughts manifest into reality and through positive focus we lessen the power of the things we fear.


Setting a goal is not the main thing.It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.


Tom Landry


12: The new year offers blessings galore to those who are willing to help make things happen. A large part of this involves growth. In order to grow and create the life we desire we must have faith and courage in the Universe as well as in ourselves. The first week of the new year is a great time to set your intentions for what you want to accomplish. These intention are like seeds. Plant them early and begin the nurturing process that which will begin to “sprout” at Imbolc (Feb. 2). Remember to keep your intentions realistic as this will make it easier to accomplish what you want and to keep building from there. Baby steps are important in the overall process of creation as they insure that everything is in place and that you are ready for the next step. Today our Angels are letting us know that the wheels are turning and things are happening behind the scenes. Ask for assistance or direction when you need it and above all stay optimistic and focused on the best possible outcome.


Archangel Michael is our go to angel today. He helps us to find our courage and boosts our self esteem so that we can move forward with confidence. Ascended Masters like Jesus and Moses can help to strengthen our faith and the Hawaiian goddess Pele helps us to set realistic goals and how to prioritize them to our best advantage. Our Sacred Stones for today are:


Mahogany Obsidian is a gentle stone that  keeps us grounded and protects as it helps to eliminate energy blocks, it also promotes growth on all levels.


Rutilated Quartz brings spiritual growth and cleans / energizes the aura. This is an important factor for our personal creation process.


Carnelian is a creative stone that keeps us in the present and brings motivation and creative thinking which can help us in setting and prioritizing our goals.
