Earth Day Angel Card Reading 04.22.11

Celebrate Earth Day with the Angels! 

Take time to be outside and celebrate the day and connect with the Earth.  Allow yourself to be one with the Earth and all creation.  Remember that you belong on Earth, and that you are a gift to the Earth with all of your wonderful vibrations, love and beautiful soul!

Card 1:  Arch Angel Michael – “I am with you, giving you the courage to make life changes that will help you work on your Divine life purpose.” 

Today, call upon Arch Angel Michael to help you connect with the Earth, feeling surrounded in protection, love and support.  Ask Michael to clear any barriers that keep you from being at peace on the Earth.  He will help you to remember your life’s purpose and remove the fears that keep you from living it out each day.

Card 2: Angel Zanna - ”You are protected from all types of harm.  The worst is now behind you.  I ask you to relax and feel safe.”

Allow your spirit to feel at peace today.  When you heal your spirit and feel at peace, the Earth can also heal and be at peace.  Release any negativity, fear and anger that you may be holding onto and allow your spirit to be filled with light and love.  Spread peace around the Earth today, every one you meet bless them with peace and harmony from your spirit.  You are protected and there is nothing to fear, allow yourself to be a peace every moment of the day.

Card 3: Arch Angel Haniel – Sensitivity - ”You are extra-sensitive to energies and emotions right now.  Honor yourself and your feelings.”

Have you been feeling extra sensitive to criticism and negative energies?  Don’t allow mercury retrograde to cloud your judgement.  Remember that you can control your thoughts and that no one is truly out to harm you or hurt you.  Often times it is only in your mind that others are putting you down.  Believe in yourself and remember that you have something amazing to offer the world.  Be gentle with yourself today, honor your feelings, remember that you can choose how you react to others and can remain at peace no matter what is going on in the world around you.

If you have a chance today, go sit out in nature.  Walk in the forest, stroll on the beach and take in the sunset.  Celebrate the beauty of the Earth!

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.

Happy Thanksgiving! Counting our blessings…

Cheers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hope your day is filled with joyful times with family and friends! Don’t let expectations of the ‘perfect’ holiday ruin the incredible moments that you share. Often times, expectations can cause many of us to become stressed out about the holidays, making it hard to enjoy ourselves, crabby and naggy at our closest loved ones as we try to recreate the picture of what we think the ‘perfect’ holiday is.  Remember that really, there is only the present  moment and you get to decide how you are going to live in it.  Choose to be at peace, even if the turkey burns.  Choose to laugh when your children spill the gravy.  Choose to share love and a smile when your difficult in-laws show up.  You can choose to be happy, content and peaceful.  By choosing your emotions, others will see your peace and try to mirror it back.  It will allow everyone else to be at ease, laugh and have fun together.  Isn’t that really what the holidays are all about anyway?

This isn’t the day to bring up past fights, arguments or judgements we have about others in our lives.  It is about sharing the best parts of ourselves and opening our heart to allowing forgiveness and gratitude to shine out.  Take time today to think of something you appreciate about each person who is in your life.  It may take more time for some of the difficult people, especially if they are not choosing to be at peace today.  Remember that each person is in your life because you chose them to be there.  Receive the lesson, insight and gift that each person brings and let go of the judgement on them and yourself for the minor imperfections that make us all human. 

Gratitude Prayer –

Dear Mother Father God -

We are so thankful for this special day where we offer our thanks and gratitude for all of the blessings we have received in our lives.  Thank you for filling our lives with infinite prosperity and abundance in all things.  Thank you for this beautiful feast, prepared with loving hands and hearts filled with joy. 

Bless each hand that has played a role in the preparation of this feast, from the animals, to the farmers and everyone along the way.  Bless this food with your unconditional love and infinite peace so that it may nourish not only our bodies, but feed our minds, hearts and souls. 

Thank you for the infinite oneness we all share, may each person feel the loving connection to you and others today and not feel alone in this world.  Thank you for the joy that you bring to our lives so that each day can be filled with happiness and laughter.  Thank you for the wisdom that helps guide our lives so that it is filled with mercy, grace and compassion for ourselves and all others.  In gratitude, we thank you for every blessing in every area of our lives, today and always.  Amen!

Thank you for all of your love, laughter & friendship today and always!  We appeciate each and every one of you, for the special sparkling light that you are and the gift that you bring to our lives! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Energy of the Earth

Energy of the Earth

  

The Earth is surrounded in its own bioelectric magnetic field.  Just as we are energetic creations, the Earth is an energetic creation.  There are many different vibrations that create the Earth’s energy.  These vibrations range from low, grounding vibrations (often seen as the color red) to higher vibrations that can lead to deep spiritual connections to the Earth (often seen as green).  Every vibration is available on the Earth, we just have to tap in and commune with Her.  There are thousands of planes and dimensions on the Earth.  People participate in only a few of these dimensions during their lifetime unless they learn to develop ways to astral travel either by meditation or shamanic journeys.  

While we go about our daily lives, we may often feel too busy to connect with the Earth in a meaningful way.  Driving our cars, working inside all day and most of the ways we entertain ourselves, keeps our focus off of the Earth and on man-made creations.  It is vital to your well being to connect with the Earth on an elemental level.  Your spirit longs to commune with the Earth, to ground and relax in your Mother’s warm embrace.  Nature revitalizes the spirit, bringing you back to a state of harmony and peace that often cannot be found in any other way.

When we connect our spirits with the Earth’s, we find that we are fully supported in our lives.  We remember that we belong here; we are loved and supported as children of the Earth.  We are able to return to the present moment, the now of our existence where all is at peace and all is well. 

The Earth wants nothing more than to provide love, nurturing and support to all that live upon her.  By bringing our spirits into harmony with the Earth’s vibration, we are easing her transition to the next stage of her development.  All of us, including the Earth are on a spiritual journey, evolving our own experiences in new and different ways.  The Earth is healing herself of all the years of mankind’s life on the planet.  

In areas where man has lived for thousands of generations, the Earth has taken on vibrations of fear, hate, control, rage, war, grief, and revenge.  Those areas where there has been the most build up are still in conflict.  The genetics of the Earth and the DNA of the humans that live there carry genetic changes that create new situations of conflict.  People are often filled with generations of hate for another culture without even understanding why.  A good example of this is the Middle East.  In order to clear that area of the human conflict, the Earth will need to be healed and brought back into harmony with us.  Do you ever come across areas where you feel sorrow, sadness or anger and don’t know why?  Perhaps you are picking up the emotions stored within the Earth.  

Anyone can help the Earth to heal and release lower vibrations of fear and hate.  When you become aware of an area on the Earth that you feel called to help heal, meditate on that area and send it love, peace and ask that it is brought back into harmony and balance.  The power of our intentions is amazing.  Never underestimate the miracle that focused love and peace can create.  

As more people become connected to the Earth and in harmony with the Earth’s vibration, it will be easier to heal not only the Earth but also ourselves.  Our peace is intertwined with the Earth.  As our peace increases, the peace on the entire Earth increases.  As your vibration spirals higher in love and light, the Earth spirals higher in love and light.  Your light will help raise the light on the planet in exponential ways; reaching out to transform hundreds if not thousands of others.  

Connect With the Earth Every Day  

 Some easy ways to connect with the Earth are: 

• Watch the sunrise/sunset and really take in all of the glorious colors
• Take a walk and focus on the energy you feel under your feet
• Meditate and connect with the Earth
• Clean up litter and trash
• Beautify the Earth by planting trees, flowers and other plants
• Interact with animals and birds that you encounter
• Seat with your back against a tree or rock and let your spirit connect with its energy
• Release stress, fear, hatred and anger to the creator for better use.  The Earth does not need to reuse this energy.
• Take part in global efforts to direct healing and peace to natural disaster situations that threaten the Earth, wildlife and humanity
• Develop your spiritual abilities to see the energy of the Earth flowing through trees, plants, etc.

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

Stress Train Has Left the Station

Below are 9 ways to get life back on track when things seem to have gotten off track, or feel like the train has left the station without you.

I take a few moments to stop, breath and really look at what is going on. I take time to evaluate what is really important to me and my life. Most situations are not life or death; most situations simply require breathing room to allow inspiration to return to find a solution.
Most situations that we are so worried about or anxious about pass quickly and before we realize it we are worried and anxious about something else. Can you remember what you were so worried or freaked out about 2 months ago? How about 2 weeks ago? Or even 24 hours ago?

Some ways to pass the time instead of stressful worrying, negative thinking or regret is to:
1. Go for an active walking meditation
2. Go for a long drive where you can sing along with good music
3. Return to nature, find a park, beach, lake, etc to commune with your spirit and the real world around you
4. Find a friend and have some fun laughing, giggling and playing
5. Write out what is stressing you out and burn it, write out what is important and put it in a place you can see it every day
6. Visualize what you really want to be happening in your life
7. Do something creative, whether it is artwork, craft, sand castle, or a new route home.
8. Regain power and control by taking responsibility for your life and how you choose to react to it.
9. Stand in a place of peace within yourself.

You are Enough

Embrace yourself, embrace your body, embrace your heart, embrace your mind.

Surround yourself in luxurious love.

Self-acceptance allows you to free your mind to do other things than think negative thoughts about yourself and your life.

Quit judging every single action you take – no one expects you to be perfect – don’t keep unreal expectations for yourself.

It is important to stop and realize that what you have to offer the world is enough. You are enough just as you are.

Spring Renewal Journey

Spring at Fowler Regional Park

Today was such a glorious day, filled with golden sunshine that glowed brilliantly through the leaves as Donald and I walked through Fowler Regional Park. We recently discovered this park and a special meditation area that we have come to enjoy. It is semi-hidden off of the pathway surrounded by bamboo and oak trees, creating a canopy for the sunlight to filter through. It is almost like a hidden room enclosed in bamboo, a secret sacred place to be still, quiet and connect with the Earth and your own spirit. The park is slowly coming back to life after several freezes these last few weeks. There are tons of tiny yellow flowers and new buds peeking out.

Welcoming Plant

A small plant beckoned us to the meditation area, it was waving one frond at us. It felt very welcoming with other small plants also seeming to wave even though there wasn’t any wind.

Bamboo Canopy

We laid our blanket down and we stared up at the expanse of sky and treetops. I had loaded some shamanic drum beats onto my droid to play for us while we journeyed off into spirit. Donald seemed to fall almost immediately into his journey and I felt content to simply connect with the area. Soak in the beauty and then something caught the corner of my eye. Through the treetops, a large hawk circled right above my head. She came back several times in a circle over my head. Hawk is one of my power animals that helps guide me back on the path, sometimes showing the way and always helping to provide guidance and support. It was awesome to see her floating on the air. I had thought to myself that perhaps I should have told Donald to set an intention for his journey – something to help further his shamanic development like journey to find a new power animal for me. Amazingly, he did come across a new power animal for me while on his journey, how lucky that our spirits talk without words sometimes! Donald connected with a panda, who has said that she used to come to me when I was under the age of 7 and that I didn’t remember her. Which is quite true, while I have had a fondness for pandas, I hadn’t really thought I had one in my spirit guide team. She said that she is coming back to help me remember the harmony that is naturally within me and discover new ways to bring about harmony in my life and the world around me.

Donald at Fowler Park

The harmony that seemed to return after our short visit to the park was immense, allowing for muscles to relax, spirits to unfurl and breathing to be at peace with the Earth. I am so glad that we got to witness the change of seasons and help renew our spirits as the Earth begins to renew herself in our area. I hope you, too, will have time to relax and renew yourself with the energy of the Earth, rejoin in harmony with the change of the seasons and allow your spirit to unfurl in all of the beauty within and around you.
