The Nature of Today's Energy 8.16.13: Balancing the Need to Survive While a Path is Ending

Friday 8.16.13:

Dreams contain hidden messages. Dreams can leave you confused. What we can not deal with in our environment, you better be sure that they will be dealt with in your dreams. 

I had a weird dream last night. I was remembering what I did in the past. On a cruise ship at night. While others were occupied with a show happening down stairs, I walked to a secluded area and had a midnight secret meeting. 

I did not know the person by features but I knew them by the essence of their soul. 

The card of the day is Two of Coins. The hidden energy card is the World. The card sits in the position of Red = passion and survival. 

I must be calm during this time of great change. I must listen to my spirit guide. I must let Source take control and lead me to where I am to go. 

All things are perfect. Every step I take is within alignment of my Divine Plan. I am love. 

Simple statements that can create powerful change. 
Know your self worth. 

The two of coins reminds me of the word "balance". What are you balancing?
What is not in balance?
Is there an aspect of your life that needs attention?

My spiritual practice is calling out to me "Hey you! Gets to Meditating!"

I think I should listen. 
I have been neglecting my meditation practice. 

I was speaking to a friend yesterday, regarding what makes a person a professional, and I wanted to state "Who decides what a professional is? If you wake up every morning and can only think of drawing and painting, then you are a professional artist."

The same goes for Tarot readers or Spiritual Advisers. If you wake up every morning and you are thinking about what the cards speak of or helping others on their path, then you are a Professional. There are two sides to every story. 
The other part of this story also includes that a person should read, read, read! Know information regarding your craft and stick with what works best for you. Pick up the pieces that ring true within your spirit and let the rest sit on the sidelines. Never forget it, for it will be used later in life at some point in time. Trust me on this. 

Information has a weird way of popping up during a conversation. You will look at yourself and think, "What the heck! Where did that come from?"

Your path will be balanced. It may not be with loads of cash but it will contain an abundance of material items that you need. 
The week is not over. The answer is there. We shall see it in the coming days. All I can do at this moment is state, "There is only good in my life. I recognize that good."

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.10.13: Conflict

Friday 5.10.13:

Conflict can sometimes be brought on by the disagreement of a statement. By the disagreement of a Truth. 

How the process should unfold, when really, the goal is what needs to be focused on. 

Sometimes the leap of Faith is made with great intent. 

The card of the day is the Five of Wands. The hidden energy card is the Hanged Man. 

The thunder is roaring outside and lightening is flashing. I can relate this card to a storm. Two sides of a choice. One contains the truth and the other is not of truth. One choice is of light and the other is of dark. 

The storm starts with a cloud. 

A thought. A statement. 

The cloud can produce more clouds or stay a single cloud (simply a thought). 

When confusion or worry sets in, the cloud will grow. Grow into a great storm with rain, sleet, hail, and wind. The storm will demolish all that is within it's line of sight. 

The storm is filled with confusion. The storm is great and powerful. The trees sway and bend. Some break and others stand their ground. 

The land is soaked with intention. With power. How will this energy be used?

The conflict is the decision that needs to be made. The power is always there. The tools we need to create and manifest our dreams, are always present. It is the decision that causes the conflict. To go North. To go South. 

To manifest good. To manifest that which is "the lack of". The decision can lead us down the path of destruction, rather than the path of greatness. 

Have you ever noticed that the path of greatness, in some stories, is always filled with light. 

What if the path of greatness was dark? 

What if the path of greatness was grim and full of shadows?

We all must pass through a state of darkness. 

That state of darkness is always there when a breakthrough is about to happen. I call it the "breaking through the sludge" stage. It is this very thin cloud of filth that builds up over time. When a Mystic is traveling around, and showing everyone their light, they can tend to take on a little of other people's mess. Their chaos. 

A mystic can sometimes lead more with a state of compassion, than the thought of taking care of their own health. 

The sludge builds up and when a Mystic starts to get tired of the rat race, of being awake, of checking into life everyday, then the Mystic will want to give up. This is when the great breakthrough is about to happen. I advise my friends and clients, that the Mystic must then muster up all the energy he has left over, and shine their brightest. The small film of sludge will eventually fall away or the Mystic will have enough Faith to put one arm out, break through the sludge, and move forward. 

The path is made clear, the storm passes, and life moves on. The cycle begins again. Life begins again. Life moves forward. Are you ready for the unknown that stands before you? 

Sometimes we have to have a little bit of Faith in what will take place. In the good that will happen, if we simply move past the dark, and into the light. 

Blessed Be.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.3.13: The Mystic

Friday 5.3.13:

After all that turmoil and change, comes a time of peace and tranquility. A time of healing. This does not mean that we are out of the dark forest, just yet. It simply means that we have found a safe place to rest. The journey is still ahead of us. The card that is influencing the energy of the day, is the Knight of Cups. This card, to me, is known as the Mystic. The Pisces.

The hidden energy card is Temperance.

Our state of existence can lead us through the darkest moments of our life. As I sit here and type, I am watching the new episode of Vampire Diaries. Yes, I know, I watch a silly Vampire show, but even a silly show can contain a message.

There are moments in my life that require me to look deep within. To find my compass that points me home. To take on the energy of the Mystic, look into my cup of Divine water, and feel the pull of my destination.
I have to become the path maker. To know that home is close.

I was listening to the song called "U.F.O." by Coldplay.
In the song he states
     "Lord, I don't know which way I am going. Which way the river gonna flow. It just seems, that up stream, I keep rolling. Still got such a long way to go...."

This is the song that I think of when I see the Knight of Cups. A person of pure love, untapped in measure, and moving forward with their journey. Looking into their cup, every so often, for divine guidance. For that sign or symbol that he/she is looking out for. The Knight of Cups understands the end result, which is love, but the road seems unfamiliar. Seems long and full of danger. Dark and twisted. Yet, he still travels forward on his horse, to his destination. A destination of home.

I think that today will be about understanding the path that we have decided to walk. Understanding the tools that we carry and use on a daily basis. 

One thing is for sure, that the Mystic is always headed in the right direction. Whether it is North, South, East, or West. The Mystic understands that eventually, it will all make sense, and his destination will surely be reached. Sometimes we have to take time out from our day to remember why we are walking on this particular path. To be reminded that we are always within alignment of our Divine Path. Even if it is about receiving a project you do not like at work. Or getting a flat tire on your great road trip. Things happen for a reason...and that reason is always good. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.26.13: Standing Your Ground, Defense.

Friday 4.26.13:

When I was young, and the class decided to play dodge ball (which would be most of the time), I would always notice that one kid was fearless within the circle. He/she would not move from her spot, and taunt the other kids with the ball, making them throw it their way so that they could catch it. Remember when you caught the ball, you could call in a fellow player who was considered "out". Lucky for me I was on a team who had the best and brightest start athlete. 

School ground rules and regulations would set in and sometimes we are faced with the same issues that would happen on the playground. Someone not wanting to wait their turn. Someone who is not wanting to play fair. A star student at handball, who is winning every match, will not give up their title. A bully on the playground, taking lunch money from other kids. I see this sort of behavior within my life. Grown ups are simply big kids. Some carry the same thought and patterns with them into adulthood. The same tricks of the trade work on those who are weak. The same clicks move forward, either forming other groups in different social circles, or sticking together and moving from one pond to the next. Silly fishes. 

I am starting to get off the subject...so I will return to what the energy will be like, today. The one child who always caught the ball, faced the danger ahead of him, and came out with a positive result. This reminds me of the Seven of Wands. 

Defense. Standing your ground. 

The hidden energy card is the Moon. Unseen forces at work. Danger on the path of greatness. Spiritual forces advising us to keep moving. 

We must take on the spirit of that child. So brave. So willing to sacrifice the game, in order to bring another person in to the game. They had the guts to give it a try. To stand their ground, taunt the opposing side, and come out a Hero. And the children danced with glee. 

This can be our strength or our weakness. To be brave can cause us to win or to fall, in the face of danger. Brave is simply a word. Everything is simply a word, but it is the intent behind it that creates the experience. What are you fighting for? 

When are you needing to be Brave? To raise your hand and state "Why?"

You do not have to always put up a fight and be ready for the struggle. The defense mechanism, can sometimes be the state of calmness you are presenting. 

Is this mountain top worth fighting for? Are we simply standing our ground to prove a point that we know is wrong, but we do not want to admit it? Are we wanting to state enough is enough?

I think that the star athlete has only one agenda on their mind...catch the ball. So, should we have one agenda on our mind when faced with a struggle? 

I know that it is much easier to think of "I am calm", rather than "I will win this". There are no winners or losers in the game of life. There is only existence. 

I use to wish to be like that star player on the playground. I use to dream of catching the ball and understanding that I could do it as well. I sometimes would yearn to just have enough guts to try and catch the ball. I did once. I tried and I caught it, but then I tried a second time and failed. I gave up. I stopped trying because I did not want to risk being pegged with the ball, and in turn be "out".

I wanted to exist within the game.

What are you protecting? Why fight for others, when you are being attacked from all ends? Start with your self. Protect your spirit, first, then move on to others. 

As I started to develop my gift of reading tarot, healing, and psychometry; I found that I was a star player. I did catch the ball. I was willing to take a risk and try, when it came to spiritual matters. I am a star player in the book of life, and even if it is not on the dodge ball court, I am attempting to catch the ball, every time, on the spiritual plane by protecting my spirit. By defending my rights of existence. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.20.13: Dreams and Choices

Saturday 4.20.13:

The card is the Seven of Cups. The card speaks to me about Dreams and Choices. I am not referring to the items we dream of at night. I am talking about the ones we have during the day. The goals we set before us. The manifestation of that which we desire. Choices are a part of life. They are built into our DNA. We make choices every day and when our ability to choose is taken away, then we start to create a revolution. Viva la Vie!

To live. 

I know that when I day dream in the darkest part of the afternoon, I find that it is not backed up by  a positive thought. I simply wish and hope that it happens. Choices seem to lead me down a path of destruction, but it is always good. 

The hidden energy card is The Hanged Man. Faith. 
Faith is always in the background. We require it. We need it. Some, even crave it. 

The card, of the day, sits in the position of Hummingbird/Energy. 

What is the Universe trying to tell me now? 
What can I relate this to? An example? An experience?

A dream or choice without clarity. The cups part of what is desired. 
Have you ever went to the Carnival and played the Fishing Pole game? The one where you would have a fishing pole that had a clip at the end of it, and when you would cast it across a black wall and pull it forward, after a quick tug, you would receive your prize?
Was it what you wanted?
Sometimes you would get the paddle and ball, a new toy watch, a wonderful little doll, or a teddy bear. Frankly, I always wanted rings and bracelets, like the other little girls would get, but the person who was in charge of this game would always call out that I was a boy, and guess what I got? A damn car or army man. Blah! I wanted a ring! ;-)

So, I would spend my money on the game, until I got a decent prize. This is kind of like the way we make choices and follow dreams without the clarity of the Swords, without positive intent. If all our energy is placed on seven different things, then we get a novelty prize. A small token stating "I played this game and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt". You get the point. 

Now there are other games, such as darts and the game where you shoot water in a scary clown's face. Now, I knew what the prize was every time, and if I won, which was most of the time, I would get to pick my pink bunny or favorite cartoon character, as a prize. I knew that with every win, I would get something that was desired. Something that I could see and visualize. This is a dream or a choice backed up with Faith. You see what is desired and you focus so hard on one item at a time. The others will fall into place, for they are all part of the same package, which is to be content and happy. 
Which is to live a positive life full of love and light. 

What are you trying to manifest within your life? How many dreams do you have on your vision board? Are you giving  your attention to one item at a single time? Are you focusing for five minutes, on each of the 99 projects that are there? Or are you focusing all your love and attention on the goal that is within the heart of the board, and allowing all that energy to touch every ounce of that board? 
The house might come before the family. The family may come before the love. The love may be the last great adventure to be marked off your Vision board. Source is the only one who knows. So, you can either focus on one item or the whole, but you should envision the energy flowing through you and into the world with the intent that all good will come to you. Your dreams will thank you. Trust me. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.19.13: The Idealist

Friday 4.19.13:

The Queen of Swords sits in the position of Lizard/Dreams/Strength/Weakness. 
The hidden energy card is Judgement. 

I turn to my spirit guide for answers.

Me: Is this a person in my life?
Spirit Guide: No
Me: Is this an energy that will be around me?
SG: No
Me: Is this an energy that I must take on?
SG: Yes. You must live it. 

When I speak to my spirit guide, there will either be a novel of information, or she will give me one word answers. How do I interpret the one word answer? 
I simply understand that my Spirit Guide is giving me a definite answer and that to question it will only cause me to form doubt within the process of love and life. 

I am to move through out my day and create that which is good. Good beyond belief. To move forward with everything that my heart is set on. Write...
She advised me to write what is within my heart, not within my mind. To create that which is good. To create that which is mine. I long for the past to reach the present. For that which has been, to follow suite and find my home once more. To regroup. To live within the moment of what is taking place at this time. 
To write. 

To feel pain of that which has passed. We all go through it. We all find peace in the moment that love presents itself to us. We think this is it. I surely can die and I will be happy. What happens when the moment is over. We wish for more. More of the same feeling within that experience. 

To write. 

She advises me to be inspired by what she is stating to me. It is not about the card, but it is about tapping into the energy that is around me. To write about what is happening at this very moment. 

If you seek Truth, then be truth. Be like the Queen of Swords. Speak your mind. You must accept what will come from that Truth. Are you ready to accept the Truth of the situation? Even if it means that you are wrong?
That I am wrong?

She leaves me with one last thought, one last statement. 
"If you wish to change that which is around you, you must start with your thoughts". 

So many have spoken this truth in the past. 

I do want to warn you about the shadow side of the Queen of Swords. You may want to contain the power that she has, of clarity and truth, but you must pay attention to that power. Are you using it to hurt or heal? Are you really seeking the Truth or stating your opinion? 
You must be open to everything that is around you and accept that which is being presented. The moment you do this, the truth will present itself. The struggle will be no more. The tools you contain in your hand, whether it be paint, clay, Tarot Cards, Crystals, and such, will make sense and you will be inspired to create. To create that beautiful masterpiece called "You", called "Me". 

Blessed Be.
