Today’s Message: Inviting Change and Growth

112: Winter is a time of introspection and by looking within we gain valuable knowledge and insights into who we are, who we want to be, and where we want to go. By looking within and taking what we find to heart we are taking the first step to our own growth and improvement. It helps to clear the pathways and makes it possible for letting go of old habits and beliefs. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy when it comes to these old habits. While they may “feel” comfortable the truth is that we hold onto these things because we are afraid to change or have a fear of failure. The Universe is reminding us that we can’t grow if we refuse to accept the changes that are offered and needed. As you explore your own inner workings remember to pay attention to any recurring thoughts and ideas. The key lies in the way we receive and perceive the information provided. This information paves our way into the future we desire, and planting positive thought seeds along our path will be beneficial in the coming months.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Chamuel helps us to recover things we have lost. while he usually works with lost items he can also help when we feel out of balance by showing us the reason behind it. He also assists us as we navigate our path by helping us to find the direction and guidance that is needed to move forward on this journey of self-discovery. If you feel like you have wandered off your path and are having trouble finding your way back he can help you get your bearings  

The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to stop fighting the things that we have no control over, which blocks our problem solving, creative flow and our power as a creator. Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes.

The Greek goddess Hecate teaches us about the importance of change. She helps us to release the past and the old things that keep us from moving on and how to accept change and transition. She tells us:  ” I am the guardian of the crossroads.  Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Bloodstone gives us the ability to adapt to the changes that are taking place more easily. It strengthens our intuition and promotes good decision-making.

  Cavansite. This stone helps to guide us through major life changes as well as help us learn from past experiences so that we don’t make the same mistakes/choices again. It also helps us to retain information that applies to spiritual growth. Cavansite helps to promote new ideas and can be used in conjunction with the Third Eye or brow chakra.    

Garnet. This deep red stone helps us to let go of old, outdated, and harmful ideas and patterns. This is important to achieving overall balance as we sometimes do things just because we can and have been allowed to get away with it. Garnet also promotes balance by helping to clear and re-energize the chakras.

The Mayan goddess Ixchel helps to get our creative juices flowing by breaking through the barriers we have erected that are blocking our progress. Call on her if you are starting something new. ” Clear your mind and allow the creative source to fill you. New things are waiting for you to embrace them!”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Agate. This humble stone is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies.

Mookite, a form of Jasper that comes in many creamy color combinations, promotes decision making and versatility. These things are important when we are faced with new experiences and find ourselves faced with the need to take action. It encourages us to be flexible during times of change and helps us to embrace new experiences with an open sense of adventure.

The Ability To Choose: Cat’s Angel Message for February 25, 2020

The Ability To Choose: Cat’s Angel Message for February 25, 2020

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



You will always have habits – things you do regularly and without conscious thought – but you do have the ability to CHOOSE your habits. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




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.




Today’s Spiritual Helpers include:


Archangel Raziel can assist us in both embracing our unique divine magic and in the overall manifestation process. He tells us that growth and freedom can be found when we let go of what we have outgrown as well as our limiting self beliefs and fears, all of which hold us back from achieving and creating the life we want.


The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process. He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important.


The Roman Goddess Vesta who oversees hearth and home. She helps us to clear space (both in our physical home and our inner home) to make room for new things and teaches us the value of letting go of what we no longer need. ” If something does not make your heart sing put it where it belongs or set it free. This will clear your inner and outer sacred space. Then open the doors and invite the new blessings inside.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Labradorite, called “The Bringer of Light” It is both protective and mystical. Turn the stone in your hands and see the flashes of color and light. They create a connection and helps to raise the consciousness to the energies of the Universe. Labradorite is also used 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.


Morganite (aka Pink Beryl) to bring awareness to emotional needs or feelings that remain unfulfilled. It helps us to express them so that we can begin the healing process.


Prehnite, which is used in Feng Shui, to help us let go of the physical things we no longer need.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Breaking The Chains Of Habit: Cat’s Angel Message for February 11, 2020


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




The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. – Samuel Johnson




211:  Today’s message is related to our habits. Habits, both good and bad, are created through our thoughts and actions. Both new beginnings and positive change require us to break the hold of outdated or bad habits in order to create essential new growth. There comes a time when we need to perform a self check-up. (that day is today) It’s important to periodically take a look within and find those dark and dusty areas that require clean up or a serious overhaul. Letting go of what no longer serves us in a positive way helps us to cordially invite new growth and opportunities into our lives. Today the angels are reminding us we are all powerful creators who are worthy and capable of manifesting amazing things. Pay attention to signals and information you receive. Even if you can’t put this information to use right away it’s worth remembering so that when a dream or goal presents itself you are ready to run with it.




Today’s Spiritual Helpers include: Archangel Jeremiel helps us to make positive life choices. He understands that it’s hard for us to let go of people and situations even though they are holding us back or causing us unintended stress, drama or harm. Jeremiel can help ease these transitions and reminds us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future.


The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process. He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important.


The Greek goddess Persephone tells us “Don’t be afraid to unearth what lies beneath. By shedding light in dark or weedy places you often find treasures that you had forgotten. These treasures can form the foundations that you need to navigate your path in life.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Moss Agate. This gentle stone promotes new beginnings and can help release the blocks that are keeping us from moving forward. It attracts new forms of abundance and teaches us how to channel our energy in new, creative ways. Often referred to as the gardener’s stone Moss Agate helps us connect to nature, the earth, and our own inner garden as well. Carry it with you or wear it during times of new growth.


Green Amethyst encourages spiritual growth and can strengthen our connection to the divine and to nature as it helps us to look inward and embrace the adventure of self discovery.


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. Eulite is also useful for building solid relationships that are necessary for the manifestation process and our personal evolution.

Finding What Is Lost: Cat’s Angel Message for December 11, 2019

daily Angel Message sms


 


Finding What Is Lost: Cat’s Angel Message for December 11, 2019


December’s Theme: It’s time to be proactive about replacing the old with the new. This is more easily done by allowing yourself to use your natural abilities and creativity and by surrounding yourself with love and laughter.




The more we know about how we lost our spontaneous wonder and creativity, the more we can find ways to get them back. – John Bradshaw




1211:  The Universe is asking us to take December’s theme to heart today as we review the information and guidance that we receive as it is directly related to the changes taking place. Remember that these changes require that we let go of old habits and patterns if we are to continue our overall growth. Take some time to ground and center and then engage in some creative pursuit. Creativity promotes clarity and can be used as a form of meditation that opens our lines of communication.  The key lies in remembering that these messages can come in any form. Keep an open perspective and don’t casually dismiss something as unimportant as it may hold valuable information designed to help you.




Archangel Michael is the go-to guy for protection. His clear, powerful energy acts as a shield that helps to buffer energies directed at us and helps us to feel safe during the change process. He sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by providing courage and direction.


The Ascended Master Melchizedek helps us to diffuse unpleasant situations that can arise as we go through change and transformation. His guidance will come through color, so pay attention to the colors that draw you or feel relevant.


The Egyptian Goddess Hathor helps us to find the answer to the question “How shall I live my life?” She tells us that every moment gives us opportunities for growth. ” When you are filled with indecision you move away from yourself and your power as a creator. Indecision silences your ability to hear your own inner wisdom. If you need my help just ask and I will shower you with energy that will tip the scales in the direction of what you desire.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Labradorite, called “The Bringer of Light”, is both protective and mystical. Turn the stone in your hands and see the flashes of color and light. They create a connection and helps to raise the consciousness to the energies of the Universe. Labradorite is also used 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.


Blue-Green Chrysocolla helps make smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity by inviting the energy of universal love into our personal experiences. It brings our inner strength and self awareness forward which keeps our energy balanced and our creative side active which allows us to handle change more effectively.


 Rose Quartz today to bring inner peace and harmony. The energy of this stone is very soothing and can help calm frazzled nerves. It helps to promote the softer, move loving view that we need to embrace gratitude, it soothes and clears the emotions and fills us with loving compassion. It works with the heart chakra to gently wash away negative feelings that we harbor against ourselves and lifts the emotions to promote joy and peace. It opens our heart and shows us the love in relationships and situations, which helps us find a balancing point Use this gentle stone to shower yourself with loving care and to send healing to those little places that most need it.

A Great Adventure: Cat’s Angel Message for November 12, 2019

daily Angel Message sms


 


A Great Adventure: Cat’s Angel Message for November 12, 2019


November’s Theme:  Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.




To the young child, all life is a great adventure – when did we grow so dull and brittle. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




1112:  The Universe is speaking to us today through repetitive thoughts, ideas, and visuals. Use these clues to improve yourself or if you feel trapped by old habits. There comes a time when we must let go of the things that no longer serve us. (habits, beliefs, things, feelings, relationships, etc.) Hanging on to the old effectively blocks our path so in order to move forward we need the room that letting go provides. Remember that baby steps are the key to making successful changes. Each step in itself is important so don’t be too eager and rush ahead as you might miss out on something amazing. Start your day by affirming that you are eager to move forward and then open yourself to receive the messages the Universe has to share.




Work with the Divine Source (Universe, God, Goddess ) to strengthen this important connection. Start by grounding, clearing and centering. This helps to open the channels and chakras. Archangel Uriel teaches us how to access our creative database. he reminds us that sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to use a non-conventional approach. He gives us the essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations.


The Ascended Master Jesus helps us with all areas of faith and teaches us that true miracles often come in small packages. He also provides a clear and direct line of communication to the Divine as well as teaching us how to open up to receive divine information.


The Hindu Goddess Kali is a dark mother and goddess of death. Each time we let go of something that no longer serves us we are in truth embracing a “little death” and fear often accompanies the letting go process. One of Kali’s greatest lessons is through our worst fears lies the freedom we gain in conquering them. She says: “Dreams must be created with focus and intent. I will help you to embrace the courage and motivation that you need to see things through to a successful conclusion.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


 Aquamarine balance’s emotions that can become frayed during the changes that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life. This stone also shields the aura, aligns the chakras and promotes communication from the higher realms.


Beryl teaches us how to fulfill our true potential. It helps us to see both sides of a situation, opportunity or problem and promotes strategic planning so that we can use it to our best advantage.


Green Calcite also helps to create harmony which allows us to dissolve rigid beliefs and outdated programming. It promotes mental balance, aids in communication and gently helps us to let go of the things that no longer serve us which helps us to draw the good things into our lives that encourage growth.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

MBG: It’s Officially Spring & You Can Celebrate With These 5 Self-Care Rituals


Happy New Year—again! On March 20, 2019, at precisely 5:58 p.m. EST, the Sun will cross directly over the Earth’s equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox (from the Latin vernare, “to bloom”) in the northern hemisphere. It also marks the beginning of a new astrological year, as we are entering the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. For centuries, we actually celebrated the New Year at this pivotal moment at the end of March/beginning of April.

Daily Good: Why Shadows Were Invented


In ‘From These Wilds Beyond Our Fences,’ Bayo Akomolafe points out that when Seventeenth-century physicist Francesco Grimaldi directed a focused ray of sunlight in a dark room, managing the ray so that it struck a thin rod and produced a shadow on a screen, he proved that light behaves in unexpected ways. In fact, light is only one side of a whole,like yin and yang. Thus “darkness is not the absence of light — it is the very dance of light…Light and dark are not opposites or estranged cosmic forces that one side must defeatfor there are no “sides.””

Elephant Journal: 13 Rumi Poems to Awaken the Love Within Us.


When anxiety fills me, and I feel disconnected from my essence—or when I’m simply out of love—I turn to Rumi.

Rumi didn’t start out as the 13th century Persian poet we all cherish today. He was a wealthy nobleman, theologian, and sober Islamic scholar—until he met the wandering dervish monk known as Shams Al Tabriz.

MNN: First-ever reef manta ray spotted in the eastern Pacific


Sometimes, you just need a change of scenery. A pregnant reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) has been spotted swimming far offshore in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, near Cocos Island, which is a long way from the creature’s traditional home.

Reef manta rays — as their name implies — generally stick to coastal regions, and they prefer the tropical and subtropical waters found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.

EarthSky News: See the zodiacal light


The weeks around the spring equinox are best for viewing the zodiacal light in the evening. Now that the moon has left the early evening sky, the next several weeks present an excellent time for those in the Northern Hemisphere to view this mysterious light, which looks like a hazy pyramid extending up from the western horizon, when all traces of twilight have let the evening sky. You’ll want a rural location, as full darkness falls. About 80 to 120 minutes after sunset should be about right

Patheos-Pagan: Repaganizing Ancient Rituals

Inner Journey:


WHAT’S YOUR BEST ROUTINE?


“For all my good intentions, there are days when things go wrong or I fall into old habits. When things are not going well, when I’m grumpy or mad, I’ll realize that I’ve not been paying attention to my soul and I’ve not been following my best routine.”

— Robert Fulghum


How do you need to bring more balance to your life?


Robert Fulghum has shared, “The older I get, the more I realize the importance of exercising the various dimensions of my body, soul, mind and heart. Taken together, these aspects give me a sense of wholeness. I want to be a whole human being rather than one who limps on one leg because I don’t know how to use all of my parts. Intellectual, emotional, and physical activity are not separate entities. Rather, they are dimensions of the same human being.”


“There is an Indian Belief that everyone is in a house of four rooms: A physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.”

— Rumer Godden

A Note from the Universe


You can choose to go, do, be, and have, and in the end you’ll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the “clicks” and “coincidences,” and the many happy “accidents,” your bounty and good fortune must have been your destiny.

Or, you might choose to wait for a miracle, a savior, or divine intervention, and in the end you’ll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the missed chances and disappointments, and the many unhappy accidents, your lack and misfortune must have been your destiny.

Do you see what the difference is?

It ain’t me,

Compassion

“Spiritual energy brings compassion into the real world. With compassion, we see benevolently our own human condition and the condition of our fellow beings. We drop prejudice. We withhold judgment.”


-Christina Baldwin (1990)


As the world grows spiritually, we will grow compassionately. The Bible tells the story of the Good Samaritan. We know this is an example for us to live by. If we would all practice compassion, follow our hearts to help others in need, then the real world would be a lot a lot less scary place to live.


-Lissa Coffey

Ancient Origins: The Rape of a Goddess: How Demeter Beat the All-Powerful Zeus


Who were Demeter and Persephone? And why did their myth resonate so strongly with women of ancient Greece? The story of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and her daughter Persephone, queen of the underworld, has inspired many. And while there are twenty-two variations of the myth, it is the Homeric Hymn to Demeter (hereafter called the Hymn), composed between 650-550 BC, that is believed to be one of the oldest…

Breaking the Hold: Cat’s Angel Message for February 11, 2018  




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




 


Old habits are strong and jealous.


Dorothea Brande


 


211: Today’s message is related to our habits.  Habits, both good and bad, are created  through our thoughts. Both new beginnings and positive change require us to break the hold of outdated or bad habits in order to create new growth. There comes a time when we need to perform a self check up. It’s important to periodically take a look within and find those dark and dusty areas that require clean up. Letting go of what no longer serves us in a positive way helps us cordially invites new growth and opportunities. Today the angels are reminding us we are all powerful creators who are worthy and capable of manifesting amazing things. Pay attention to signals and information you receive. Even if you can’t put this information to use right away it’s worth remembering so that when the goal presents itself you are ready to run with it.


 


Archangel Jophiel is associated with beauty and helps us to take our thoughts in that direction. She teaches us to appreciate the beauty within us and around us as she helps us to bring light to the dark areas that require a good cleaning. The Ascended Master Yogananda shows us the path to a happy, healthy life enhanced by the letting go process and the Greek Goddess Persephone teaches us how to liberate ourselves from the things that are holding us back so that we can forge ahead on a new path.


 


Our Sacred Stone for today is Charoite. This stone stimulates our inner vision and helps us to see and recognize the new opportunities that come our way. It also promotes emotional support and healing as we work on the letting go process.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Releasing Old Habits: Cat’s Angel Message for January 12, 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.


You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, “I release the need for this in my life”,


Wayne Dyer


112: Winter is a time of introspection. By looking within we gain knowledge and insights of who we are, who we want to be and where we want to go. This helps to open the pathways for the letting go of old habits, which is the first step to personal growth. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy when it comes to these old habits. While they may “feel” comfortable the truth is that we hold onto these things out of fear of change. Remember, we can’t grow if we refuse to accept the changes that are offered.  As you explore your own inner workings remember to pay attention to any recurring thoughts and ideas. The key lies in the way we perceive the information we gain.   This information paves our way into the future we desire, and planting positive thought seeds along our path will be beneficial in the coming months.


Archangel Jeremiel shows us the way to making the life changes we need to move forward. He teaches us that change should not be feared and is a normal part of life and our overall growth. The Ascended Master Buddha teaches us how to balance our lives. Maintaining this balance is essential to our inner peace spiritual growth and understanding and the Yoruban Goddess Oya  teaches us that change must be fully embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Changes inspire and encourage us to transcend our self imposed limitations. Our Sacred Stones for today are Angelite which infuses us with a calming energy that eases fear of the future, it also helps us to connect to the Universe and it’s helpers and  Fluorite helps to promote spiritual growth.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Jan. 10, 2018 ” Old Shoes”

Happy Wednesday,


Old habits are like a pair of old shoes. We tell ourselves that they are comfortable even though they are worn out and smell funny. We all have habits that hold us back and need to be thrown away (just like those old shoes). Why do we hang on to these things? Fear of trying, fear of change, fear of finding something better………….. Be courageous today and start creating some new and awesome habits, start small and build from there. The sky’s the limit, you just need to reach for it!
