Take time to spend in nature today to help you connect with the Earth and awaken your spirit to the spirituality and divinity that surrounds you in every moment of the day.

Winter’s Dark Night

Many people seem to be experiencing great shifts and changes this winter.  They seem even more extreme than usual.  The vibrations surrounding the Earth right now are very chaotic, they are filled with revolution, freedom and breaking away from patterns of behavior.  This energy can seem extremely disturbing and downright irritating as it brings to the surface old fears, doubts, anger, rage, sorrow, grief and despair.  Work with the energy by claiming the light within your heart and soul.  Remember that the light shines into the darkness and does not fear what it sees in the shadows. You have more power to claim this energy and use it to build your dreams than to cower in fear from the velocity of the energy.

The dark night of the soul waits for no one to place a date on the calendar to deal with it.  The dark night comes when the soul is ready to see into the deepest, darkest depths and come out as a shining light, braver, stronger and bolder than before.

Cave of Despair and Grief

This winter provides a great time to experience the dark night of the soul.  Winter is the time to reflect, review and release all of the past year and often times, years of pain, mistakes and regrets.  This winter seems to have taken the darkness to a whole new level.  With weather extremes and energetic vibrational extremes forcing many of us to take refuge and hide away.

Go with the natural flow of the season.  Take time to relax, give yourself the freedom to review your life without prejudice or criticism.  It is ok to have made mistakes and it is ok to forgive yourself and others for pain that has been caused in your life.  Let go of the pain, release the regrets and reclaim your power.

If you feel as though you are overwhelmed by the darkness of the season, make sure to keep light around you.  Light candles, turn on the xmas lights if they are still up and replace light bulbs with full-spectrum light that will reflect the sun. 

Be gentle with yourself and take time to nurture your soul at this time.  Plan activities that will boost your spirit, feed your soul and renew your energies.  Surround yourself with friends and family who support you and let go of those that don’t.

Winter can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to drag you down to the depths of despair.  You will survive the winter, allow this time of reflection to help you clear the path to a brighter spring.  Reflect on new goals, new ideas and new creations to birth this spring.  What do you want to plant? 

In order to plant anything, you will have to let the ground rest and regain the vital nutrients the soil needs to allow any new life to grow.  Nourish the soil of your soul’s garden.  Clear away the debris that will threaten the new growth and weed out all that zaps your garden of vitality.   Allow yourself to sit in the mud, let it soak into your pores and cleanse away the toxins that have built up.  You will feel so much better when you are done and wash it all away in the rain.

10 of Cups – Barriers to Abundance

10 of Cups, Rider-Waite-Smith

Many times in readings, there will be multiple cards in a spread.  It can be useful to look deeper into the reading to understand the connection between the many cards and how they can affect a situation or outcome.  Often the interplay between the cards represent certain lessons or conditions that have to occur prior to the final outcome of the reading. 

In combination with the 10 of Cups, these other cards can reveal lessons, challenges or increased blessings.  Sometimes the other cards represent barriers to receiving blessings, blocks to harmony or imbalances in your life. 

Below are just a few examples of how the 10 of Cups can be impacted by other cards in a reading.  Use them as a guideline for your

own readings for when other cards show up together so you can learn how the combination of cards can impact the true meaning of a reading. 

Devil	If the Devil shows up with the 10 of Cups it could represent a lack of joy or peace.  That you feel like your spirit is in bondage and you are unable to see blessings in your life.  Let go of the bonds that bind you in the feeling of lack and unworthiness to receive.  You are worthy to receive infinite blessings of abundance and prosperity! Infact, the Universe wants to reward you and bless you right now in an overflowing shower of love, joy and peace!
Tower	If the Tower shows up with the 10 of Cups it could represent that you are standing alone, afraid of success and receiving infinite abundance.  There could be a time of fear, chaos and upheaval prior to you receiving abundance in your life.  Allow the 10 of Cups to assist you in being victorious in these challenges.
3 of Swords	If the Three of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it could represent disharmony and heartbreak in your life.  You could be experiencing a time of loneliness and having a guarded or closed heart.  Allow the energy from the 10 of Cups to assist you in opening your heart and healing past wounds through forgiveness and letting go of fear.
9 of Swords	If the Nine of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it could mean that instead of infinite joy, you are at first experiencing a time of intense sorrow and perhaps depression.  Your spirit and life may feel tangled up in problems and bound to people or places that do not feed your soul.  Let the 10 of Cups assist you in connecting to the Divine for increased wisdom, support and grace to make it through these challenges in your life.
10 of Swords	If the 10 of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it may almost mean that you are at the opposite ends of the joy/sorrow spectrum.  Your life may be filled with the deepest despair stemming from disconnection from the Creator.  This disconnection has resulted in a loss of hope and a feeling that your life is without any divine energy or blessings.  Allow the 10 of Cups to be your silver lining and light in the darkness, this card reminds you that you are always connected to the Divine and that the Divine wants to shower you in unconditional love, joy, and abundant blessings.  All is never lost and return to a state of peace and harmony by opening up to spiritual and emotional support in the world around you.
Lovers	If the Lovers show up with the 10 of Cups, it is a double blessing, reflecting abundance of love, particularly in family relationships.  This double blessing will allow for increased harmony and time to allow for bonding with family and friends in new ways.  The Lovers also reminds us to return to harmony and balance.  If there is any area out of balance in your life, the Lovers and the 10 of Cups will assist you in bringing balance back to all areas of your life with ease.
Star	If the Star shows up with the 10 of Cups, it means infinite shining blessings of bliss filling your life!  Overall you will experience an increase of joy, ecstasy, positive blessings to sparkle and shine in all areas of your life.  Let your own light shine as you will be receiving infinite abundance and prosperity now. Don’t hold back or fear anything, look for the positive energy in all areas of your life, as you are surrounded in the glow of light and protection at this time.
Universe	If the Universe shows up with the 10 of Cups, it can mean infinite physical and spiritual blessings on all levels.  With an increase in emotional and physical contentment and overall fulfillment in your life on Earth. Let yourself go with the flow of life and experience an inspired way to manifest abundance in your life.

Upcoming Event on 9/11/10

Energy of the Earth

 

I will be presenting at the Tarot Illuminations Circle at Unity Church for Creative Living on Saturday, 9/11 at noon.  

• Address: 2777 Race Track Road,  St. Johns, FL 32259
• Telephone: (904) 287-1505
• Website: www.unityinjax.com

I hope you will be able to join me there.  Cathy Mason leads Tarot Illuminations and it is a wonderful circle of spiritually active adults who support one another as we explore the tarot and other spiritual topics.  

This session’s topic is: Energy of the Earth  

Science and spirituality continue to suggest that we are all made up of
energy, every particle of our being is energy in motion.  Everything in the
Universe is energy, from the Earth and everything that lives upon her to the
stars above. We are connected through this energy, whether we can see it or
not, energetic flashes pass through and around us every second of the day. 

I will guide us through exercises to help us increase our awareness of our own energy, aura and what we can achieve when we tap into that energy. I will also conduct a brief meditation that helps you connect deeply with the Earth and the realm of light.  This meditation will ground you to the Earth and support you by connecting to the Earth’s energy grid.  You will walk away from this experience feeling fully connected and supported by the Earth.  

If you have never experienced this before, you don’t want to miss it!

Living Your True Purpose

Often as we go about our spiritual path, it can be hard to truly live your life’s purpose.  Many times it may feel hard to follow your path when real life situations challenge or block your way.  These challenges pop up to help you understand your life’s true purpose in a deeper way.  Challenges do not mean you have fallen off of your path or that you aren’t living your life’s true purpose.  Challenges suggest that you are being tested, strengthened and experiencing something new and different.  It is important during stressful times to take a moment to breathe and reflect on your life.

It might help you to ponder the below questions as you reflect on your life’s true divine purpose.  Answer from your heart and spirit.  These answers should come easily and not forced.  Be honest with yourself. 

•  What is my true purpose?
•  Am I having trouble fulfilling my life’s purpose right now?
• What is blocking me from walking my life’s path?

 

When making decisions in challenging situations ask yourself:

•  Which way brings me closer to my divine purpose?
• Which way takes me away from it?

 

Ways to boost your spirit and actively achieve your life’s purpose:

•  What am I doing each day to fulfill my true purpose?
• What am I doing each day that takes me away from my divine purpose?
• What feeds my spirit and makes my heart sing?
• How can I create time in a busy schedule that allows me to do things I love?

 

Take time each day to do something that boosts your spirit.  Each day you can take a small step towards your life purpose.  Even if you feel your current job or life situation is not matching up with your divine purpose, you can still take small steps each day to balance your life. 

Some steps you can take each day are:

•  Write out your life’s purpose
• Define what it means to be on your path
• Meditate
• Exercise
• Seek support from like-minded friends
• Network with others who do what you want to do
• Find a mentor to help guide you on your path

Create a Spark

Spark of Light

Many times everyday life takes us away from our passions and true purpose in life. Sometimes everyday responsibilities and assumptions keep us from truly embracing the joy that living our passion and purpose could bring us.

• What would your life look like if you were fanning the flames of your passion?
• How would your life be different than it is now?
• What would you do?
• What would you say?
• What would people think of you following your purpose and passion?

Shine your light so the whole world can see it. Shine it bright so that the entire universe can see you sparkling like the beautiful soul that you are! Create a spark in your heart that will transform your life by taking steps to find your passion and purpose and actively seek out ways to participate or create your passion in every day life. It only takes a spark for a fire to blaze in your heart!

If you need help discovering your purpose or finding your passion, please feel free to contact me.  I would be happy to help!

Remembering to Make Good Choices

Currently in my life, I am going through a period where I need to review and reclaim positive choices for myself and my life as it feels like I have led myself astray from where my spirit wants to go just to maintain security and stability. Security and stability in life are important but they do not take the place of following your true purpose or living the life you desire to live.

Many times when life is particularly challenging it can seem downright difficult or even impossible to make a choice and even harder to know if the choice you are about to make is the right one. Right now I am reminding myself that it is ok to stop, take a breath and remember that there are infinite possibilities. Though to be open to the expanse of infinite possibilites, I have to return to a state of peace and love within myself and let go of the chaos that fear and stress can create in my mind and spirit.

In times of change, stress and fear often step in to take over for peace and love. When that happens, inspiration, encouragement and divine guidance often feel blocked or not even available. Take time to return to a place of peace so that you can open up to receive the divine guidance, wisdom and clarity that are waiting for you to make positive choices for your life. Perhaps this article will help you to also see that there are infinite possibilities and limitless choices that you can make that are of your highest good.

    One way to live a better life is to make better choices for your life.  These choices are not only about choosing to eat better or exercise more.  These choices are about treating yourself better, accepting that you may want something different out of life than other people want for you, or choosing to express how you feel no matter how other people will respond.    Are you making choices that make your heart sing? Are you making choices in y … Read More

Cleansing Process ~ Heart Clearing ~ 10.29.07

 

Cleansing Process – Filling Your Heart with Golden White Crystal Light.

  

Sometimes clearing the heart can seem like a difficult process if there is a lot of pain built up over past challenges, however, it is extremely helpful and useful to clear out all the old stuff that has been held onto. 

 

The steps to go through for this cleansing are to set some time aside, whether in meditation, prayer or even in a relaxing bath with candles lit.  It is a journey within yourself to see what is truly going on within your heart from a spiritual viewpoint and not just a physical one. 

 

It helps if you have a good imagination to be able to work through this process as the mind can block you from being able to truly experience or ‘see’ what is going on. 

 

The reason I suggest being in the bath is because of the healing way water can take away and cleanse you from the inside out and the outside in.  This is especially true if you put essential oils (like lavender, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood or rose – rose is especially good for working with the heart) and sea salt in your bath water. 

 

 

So either in a bath or in bed set the tone for a special quiet time alone. Turn off the phone if you can or wait till you have a moment to be by yourself without distraction from others, tv, work, etc.  Light some candles, put on some soft music that speaks to your heart and calls to your soul, light some incense if you wish.  Anything that helps to calm and relax you, and invokes a feeling of sacred space.

 

 

Once you are laying down, call upon God to come and help you through this process, also call upon your angels, spirit guides, power animals, guardians and anyone who you feel has helped you on your spiritual journey. Ask them for help in guiding you through this process, providing healing energy and light and most of all reassurance, comfort and love to gently move you through clearing your heart.

 

Ask for God’s help in drawing down the Golden White Crystal Light to fill you, pouring down over your head and over your entire body. Let your body begin to feel lighter, warmer and enveloped in the light. See it surround you, helping you to glow and shine brighter. State the intention that you will be traveling within yourself to cleanse and clear your heart, that you truly wish to see within yourself and let go of all that is blocking you from opening your heart and trusting all that is.

 

As you lift yourself up from your body in spirit, feel yourself travel deeper inward, traveling down through your body and into the center of your heart. Journey until you see a large door standing before you, this is the door to your heart and is waiting for you to open it and walk inside. Be brave and know that nothing can harm you and you are safe to enter your own heart, for God and all of your angels are with you, helping you on this journey. Maybe you feel that you have to knock before entering or you feel the door is locked. Knock on the door and state that you are entering your heart and wish to view it truly as it is, ready to open your heart and trusting that you will be safe to see and experience what has been locked away.

 

Journey within your heart, beyond the door and look in each room you come to. Some rooms may have doors that are open and others may be locked, not yet ready for you to enter. Enter the rooms one by one, seeing the color of the walls, the state that the rooms are in. Are they dirty, filled with darkness, filled with dust? Are they clear and bright, feeling open and free? In each room, work to clear away all that is not clean and bright, clean all that is not light.

 

Some rooms you may have to work with a bucket and sponge to wash away the darkness. Do not be alarmed, but let the golden white crystal light to flow into the room with you, helping you to wash the darkness away. Let God’s love to flow in and fill the room, washing away any pain, anger, sorrow, guilt or shame that is held there. Ask that all that is not of your highest good be released back to God. God will take away all that is not of love and light.

 

Continue to work through each room, diligently and deliberately. Going over every inch until your entire heart is bathed in Golden White Crystal Light and filled with love. If you feel sorrow or pain, let the emotions wash over you and release from you. Let the tears fall or cry out. If you feel a need to stop and write your feelings and memories out, please take that time. This is not a race to finish up as quickly as possible.

 

This is a gift for you, to take time and cherish each moment, no matter how hard that moment is. For the moments you are washing away and cleansing have made you who you are. They are part of you and you would not be the awesome amazing person you are today without them. Those moments that have been trapped and held in darkness, also no longer serve you and they no longer protect you by being locked in your heart.

 

In fact, those trapped moments and locked doors in your heart are hurting you in ways you cannot imagine. They block away true feelings of love and self worth. The locked doors block you from God and all that you are, keeping you from trusting yourself and trusting God to lead you.

 

This process may only take on time to go through or it may take you several sessions to get through all of the rooms. Sometimes it is helpful to go back after several days or weeks to walk through your heart with light and love to keep it clear and free of blocks, free of stored pain and memories.

 

Do as much as you feel you can, there is no rush. Ask God to help, ask your angels and guides to help and ask others that you trust to help. You are not alone in this process and always loved. Just taking the first step is a big step! Know that you can do it!

 

 

If you have any questions please let me know and I will help you as best you can.  I will be creating this process into a CD so that people will be able to meditate to it.
