Taking a Small Break

Monday 9.9.13:

It is time for this Mystic to meditate for a while. To really think about the direction as to where I am going. What direction my spiritual journey must take.
I will return once I have researched and received information regarding what I should do. Inspiration is always around me. I simply need to take care of my spirit and take care of the wonderful person within. Many Bright Blessings to those who stop by and read my past entries.

Blessed Be.

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.7.13: Finding Balance

Saturday 9.7.13:

The card of the day is the Two of Coins. The hidden energy card is the Fool. The card sits in the position of Amethyst = psychic abilities and behavior patterns.

Balance is part of life. Everything has a counterpart.
You also have another side to your soul. The shadow side.

I feel like the cards are speaking of the two halves. Dark and Light.
The happy side and unhappy side of your wonderful self.

Sometimes one is above the other. One is out running the other. When the race is over, though, you will find that they both arrive at the same time. No winner. No loser.

Keep balance in your life. Try not to let your shadow self steal the show. Allow your spirit to shine but do not think that you are better than the person sitting next to you.

The person juggling the two coins on the card is not only balancing the materialistic things in their life, but they are also trying to balance the spiritual side. One coin is of love and the other is of doubt. The two coins use to be part of one. The Ace of Coins. I feel as if the the cards are trying to speak of balance. Balance of what is wanted and what is desired. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.6.13: The Empress Card Must Be Turned Right Side Up.

Friday 9.6.13:

The card of the day is Fertility = The Empress. The hidden energy card is The World. The card sits in the position of Green = compassion, love, and cultivation. 

The energy of the day is about receiving what you need at the right time. What if you were shown what the true possibilities will be, when you are faced with a certain choice? 
Would you still walk the path you were given?

Sometimes you are given the answer. The true nature of what can happen. You are shown what the outcome can be. 

We still decide to walk down the path of negative destruction. 

The cards are talking about abundance and being in the right place at the right time. You are walking on the right path. 

I have to be honest. Today brought about a lot of things. The abundance of what?

Every card contains a light and shadow side to it. 
The Empress does mean abundance but I also view the shadow side as excessive. Too much of something. It is not always a great idea to take on more than you can handle. 

You become full. Full of crap. Full of junk. 

One wants to be empty. Ready to be filled with good. 
The Empress brings us only good. The shadow side of the card is brought about because one wishes to separate from the Truth. 

What are you seeing an abundance of? Is it of good?

Maybe it is time to empty your spiritual self. Just release the ties and binds that you have placed on your spirit. 

As I write this the song "Weightless", by Natasha Bedingfield, comes to mind. 
She talks about cutting the strings and floating on a journey of hope. 
Maybe the Empress card is here to remind you that it is time to cut the strings that bind you down and float on a wonderful journey of hope. Your hope. 

It is time to take care of you. Take care of your spirit. Take care of that beautiful soul within you. Allow it to fly. Allow your mind to dream. Dream and float to your good. The Empress card must be turned right side up. To allow the birth of a great idea to be born. For you to be reborn. To wake up and be alive. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.5.13: MoveTthrough This Season of Change

Thursday 9.5.13:

The card of the day is Destiny = The Wheel of Fortune. The hidden energy card is Judgement. The card sits in the position of Yellow = flexibility, adaptability, and personal power.

When the wheel changes from season to season, there is a brief pause in action, so that you can reflect on what has happened. 

How was your season of winter?

Mine was particularly cold. 

Sometimes we spin the wheel of fortune in hope that it will land on a season of summer. But what about the other three seasons?

Not only that. What about the other phases of the moon. 

You must move through the seasons with grace and ease. With every Summer there is a Winter and with every Spring there is a Fall. 

The wheel is slowing down. 

I think that the cards are speaking of the space that separates the seasons. 

We can tell it is fall by the leaves that change color. Spring brings sun and the melting of snow. Summer brings about heat. Winter brings rain and snow. 

You can get stuck between the changing of the seasons. 
When I was searching for Love, for that wonderful person to spend time with, I use to wish for it to take place. For a relationship to manifest into my existence. I would see others and only think of the "lack of". 

I felt like I was in the middle of change. 

In the middle. 

A Mystic must learn to live in the middle. Between light and dark. Between Earth and Spirit. 

There is hope. There is always hope. The wheel is constantly turning. Turning in a circular motion. Up and down. In and out. 

Energy you put out there will surely be returned. How are your thoughts today?
What are you focusing on?
The lack of or abundance of?

Judgement speaks to us about waking up. Lifting our spiritual self from the grave and moving forward. We scream with joy, for we are ready to be reborn. Like the Phoenix. 

You have to go through your process and journey of Death and transformation, in order to be transformed by the fire. 
The stages my feel like they are moving at a slow pace. 
No need to worry. If you stay focused then you will surely make it through the change. This is all part of your Destiny. It is all part of life. The movement from one stage to the next. The scenery is being re-arranged. You must change your clothes. Change your character. 

As I sit here and write, my niece is watching "The Little Mermaid". Ariel went through change. She gave up her life as a mermaid in order to go after what she loved. She gave up her voice. 
She finds it in the end. She gets it back. 

When she did not have a voice, she had to use all of her tools found within, to get the prince to recognize her. To fall in love. 

The wheel of fortune turned in her favor. She was persistent. She did not give up. Be like Ariel today. Move forward with great intent and know that you will get what is needed. Move through the season of change into the season of Abundance. 

Abundance of only good. 

Blessed Be.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.4.13: It is Time to Break Down the Wall That is Before You.

Wednesday 9.4.13:

The card of the day is Temptation = The Devil. The hidden energy card is The Sun. The card sits in the position of Obsidian = grounding, shielding, and void.

You can get stuck within your own self pity.

"Oh how things are simply not working out in your favor. It is so bad. My life is not going where I thought it would be going. I am not worthy. I am not enough. I can not do it."

Have you heard this dialogue? Do you speak of this?

I find my inner mind trying to feed my spirit this sort of junk.

Temptation is all around you. The temptation to recognize your unworthiness. The temptation to see only bad. To know only evil. To eat everything in sight because you are feeling down and out.
To feel depressed. To feel sad.

When I think of Temptation, it reminds me of my days of going out to the clubs and having fun, and the hang over the next day. The temptation to not care about what will take place later. The temptation to just give up and let go.
Let go of what?
Your self worth?

I went for a walk and decided that the spirits and the cards are speaking of our self worth. The Devil card can advise us that we are not worthy.

Did you know that you are worthy of everything within your state of existence?
This inner truth and knowledge is like the smile on your face when you notice the beauty of the flowers or when the wind blows and you can feel Source within its presence. The presence of pure existence.

What false addictions are you believing? What are you giving power to?

"Oh but they advised me that I am not worthy. That I can not go anywhere else due to the economy. That change is not possible. I can not leave my job or else I will lose my house. I am not worthy because I am not working at this very moment. I am not worthy of my good because I am not being productive."

Who is stating this to you?

"Well, no one is stating this to me Aaron. I just know they are thinking this."

Want to know a secret?

Most likely at that very moment that you are thinking this about the people around you, they are thinking this same thought as well. Only it is about them and how you may be viewing their self worth.

No one is really better than any one else. They may have more money than you. Others may contain more knowledge. Some may have extra items that create the picture of perfectness.
But they are no better than you.

Did you know that we are all the same. We are worthy of only good. We are worthy of what is needed.
With more items of responsibility comes more responsibility.
The Devil card will make sure you know of this. The Devil card can remind you that you are holding yourself back with the lack of self worth.

"I am stuck here because the chains are around my wrists."

The chains were placed there by you. The wall was built by you.
Don't you think it is time to break it down?

The Sun card is the hidden energy card of the day. Understand that the clouds may be covering it but the Sun still is shinning. Do not worry. Good is within your life. The answer is there. When you allow Source to lead you then greatness happens with every step. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.3.13: Intuition Sits Inside the Heartbeat of the Universe

Tuesday 9.3.13:

The card of the day is Intuition = The High Priestess. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of Blue = communication and inner truth.

The High Priestess beckons us to accept the change and manifestation that is happening behind the curtain. To know that everything is happening for a reason. 

My intention is to listen to the heartbeat of the Universe. This, to me, is intuition. The heartbeat of the Universe may sound like a single drumbeat but there is more involved. If you listen close enough the beat contains much more sounds to it than you think. Between the beats, there are breaths of exhale that fill the space of silence. It is the breath of life. The essence of existence. 
This is where intuition sits. 

To listen to all of it. To find the answer. To know what comes next. 

Something wonderful is taking place behind the curtain. The hammer is swinging. The nail is being struck. The wood is being dropped. The construction worker is yelling out to his co-worker. 

Something wonderful is happening. Can you feel it?

Speak about it. Talk to your friends about this something wonderful. Explain to them that you feel it. 
You know that there can only be good. Only be love. 

The journey is advising us to grow. To evolve. 

Talk about how you have overcome so many obstacles. How Source has provided you with so many talents and you are going to use all of them. This next big adventure will be grand and beautiful. 

Speak of good. It is time to manifest it into your reality. 

The key element of speaking about what you desire. To send out the essence of that which you want into the Universe. I was missing this aspect. I needed it to be written down. To be spoken of. The crystal grid I am working with is now super charged. My intent has form and shape. I was lacking this. 

It is time to listen to the gentle breeze. It is time to listen to the butterfly that lands on your car door while stopped at a red light. It is time to listen to Brian's grandfather "Takelly". He just happen to visit me the other night. Scared me half to death because he was sitting on the couch, hiding in the pile of stuffed animals, and he decided to say "Boo". 
I was a little afraid but then I laughed and told him "I am not in the mood right now". 
Brian's grandfather is known to play pranks. This is his way of telling you that he is present and that something wonderful is going to happen. 

Funny that this memory is being thought of right now. He was advising me to move forward. That the spirits are around me, guiding me, telling me that sometimes there is fear in our heart. We have to keep moving. Know that it is part of the journey. It is part of the Universe. 

Are you good enough?

Of course you are! Keep telling your self this. Feel it in your bones. Feel it in your soul. It is there. Your own self worth is recognized. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.2.13: Listen to the Cheerleaders Scream

Monday 9.2.13:

The card of the day is Ace of Cups. The hidden energy card is The Star. The card sits in the position of Dress Rehearsal = alternative course and choices. 

I am still listening to the song "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. It helps me write. 

It is so funny that there are certain songs I must play over and over again. It reflects my state of existence at the present moment. When I made a change in my life last year, I was playing Beth Hart "My California". I yearned for an adventure. To long for home again. To miss this wonderful place. 

I created change. It was spectacular. I am now strong. 

Did you know that you have your very own cheerleaders? They are standing on the side line. They shout and scream to inspire. To aid you on your journey. To help you when things seem bleak and dark. 

"You can do it! It is possible! There are no mistakes! You can not fail! There is only good!"

They scream with excitement. The goal is in sight. You can make that touch down. 

What if I told you that the cheerleaders of your life are spirits of those who have passed. Those who were once part of a past life. Spirits that are only here to help. 

I am receiving a message. Who ever is reading this must hear this wonderful statement. 

"You must pray with Faith. Speak about it as if it has already happened."

If you require a healing to take place. Know it. Speak about it. Advise your inner being, this vessel of clay and dirt, that you are whole. You are perfect. You are healthy. 

If you require a job. No! If you require substance and wonderful human contact with an energy known as abundance and prosperity. If you require the knowledge of existence, then look no further. Look within. Look in your back yard. Look to those who love you. 
You may not see it at first. It is as if your eyes are adjusting to the 3-D glasses. 
It is there. Love is there. Sometimes you must take a detour. Take a side step. Go out of your way to follow the paper that was blown out of your hands. You may think that you are wasting precious time but what if you were travelling down the wrong path and Source wants to lead you down a different one. 

In the end you will arrive at the exact spot you were meant to be at. The paper blowing out of your hand was not an accident. You were being guided by Source. 

The cheerleaders may not have been screaming loud enough. Or you were too focused on the game and the points that your team was not accumulating. There is always time for a Hail Mary play. There is always time for multiple touch downs. As long as you are breathing then there is always time. 

Blessed Be.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 9.1.13: It is Time to Put on Your Party Hat

Sunday 9.1.13:

The card of the day is Three of Cups. The hidden energy card is The Tower. The card sits in the position of Obsidian = grounding, shielding, and void.

Sometimes you have to celebrate the destruction within your life, in order to recognize that which is good. I decided to break my streak of good eating and enjoy what ever was in front of me. A lovely donut for breakfast, bagel for lunch, soda and candy for a snack, and peanut butter sandwiches for dinner, to round things off. 

I was tired of being so called "good". I was tired of always stating, "oh no. I can not have that for it will surely make me fat."

I was missing out. I decided to enjoy my life for the moment. I do not want to care about what may take place. I was feeling a little depressed and needed to just let go. My intention is to not care anymore, get fat, and then complain about how ugly I feel. I simply wanted to enjoy and be happy for a little while. I start the diet on Tuesday. It is time to start over. To purge myself of any harmful desire. To help my spirit understand that it is okay to fall down sometimes. 
I know that I must get back on that spiritual bike and begin my journey again with protein, vegetables, and fruits. 

I am not stating that I am eating everything in site. I am also not stating that I am eating until I throw up. I learned my lesson of gluttony in a past life. 

I am simply stating that sometimes you have to enjoy the good within your life. Taste a little of this and a little of that. There is always tomorrow. You can certainly start your journey tomorrow. I once had a spiritual practice. I must return to it. I must also stay fit. 

The destruction of change is happening all around. It is time to succumb to it. To let it destroy all that which is around you. Destroy the elements that are not needed at this time. They will return. Believe me. 

I know that the energy is speaking about celebration but there are moments when you do not feel like jumping up and down with joy. That is okay. Maybe you should start small. Start with a party hat. My niece had three of them in her hand yesterday and gave me one. I decided to put it on. My mood changed a few minutes later. There is something about a party hat that can make a person smile. 

Remember that we must live in this moment. Live in this moment with joy in our heart. Put on your party hat and dance. 

Blessed Be.
