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 8.31.13: Be Brave and Dance

Saturday 8.31.13:

The card of the day is the Five of Cups. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of Nettle = boundaries and caution.

Emotional loss can slip through the cracks.You will tend to look at what is lost rather than what was gained.

It is amazing what can inspire me to write. To simply put words down on paper...er.....I mean screen. Whichever!

As I was hooping for exercise, listening to Sarah Bareilles' new song "Brave", I was struck with great emotion. The need to dance. The desire to love my inner child. 
I watched the video and was even more inspired. 

Have you seen it?

For all you Tarot Readers. Try to find the cards within the words she has written. 

Strength....
Hermit...
The Fool...

I love it!

The energy of the day speaks about the acknowledgment of your ability to be Brave. To dance in an open area and have others watch you. 
Who cares?!

As a Mystic, sometimes we have to be brave, and dance when there is no music. You are dancing with no music every time you decide to venture out on your own. To recognize your good. 

The Moon card speaks of psychic energy but also the start of evolution. Do you think it took a few seconds for a species to evolve into something grand? Nope. 
It can take a life time. Of course I am not going to get into a debate on whether there are some life forms who do evolve in seconds and then die because it may have been a misfit. Not able to survive. 

I would rather focus on your ability to change. To evolve. To do something wonderful and create. To leave that which is holding you back and move forward into your light. 

Try to hide from it. Try to out think it. To out wit it. You will eventually lose. Happiness is all around. Joy is there. It may be within the two cups that are left behind. It may be within the castle that stands before you. You must not cry for that which is lost. 

Even if it means travelling forward with no companion. Sometimes you have to speak what is on your mind. Sometimes you have to take the first step on your own. No hand holding allowed. 
It may seem this way. 
Source is always holding your hand. You may not notice it. You may feel alone at times. Believe me the journey can put blinders on your eyes. You sometimes only see what is in front of you. 

It is time to focus on your goal. The goal of being happy. Happy with your choice. Happy with the state of your existence. Satisfied with the dance you have choreographed. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 8.22.13: Visit the Past

Thursday 8.22.13:

The card of the day is Six of Cups. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of Summer = taking action, fruition, and intellect. 

Memories of past choices are trying to take control of your thoughts. 
I find myself clinging to the past. Just holding onto it with great force. 
I do not want to let go because then I would have to give up something.
What if the person who walks by and finds it, picks it up, and that one item becomes their fortune. 

"Hey! What about me?"
"I held onto it for the longest time. Why are they benefiting from my hard work?"

Yes, this enters into my mind all the time. 

When you are putting yourself out there, in order to be noticed, you are faced with great obstacles. How am I to think?
Will I go to my dark place and think, "Someone else is better than me and will surely receive that job that was meant for me."

This is the easiest route to take, for a negative thought is much easier to believe, and we are creatures of habit. 
Habitual negative thinking. 

I must change my thoughts. 

There is always more than enough. 
The spirits are advising me to be patient. That the time to strike is going to happen soon but I must wait at this moment. 
Wait for the perfect moment. 

Every moment is perfect. 
Every action is right on time. 

Every step I take is within alignment of my Divine plan. 

It is time to review our past. What is hidden within it?
What lesson are you reviewing? The journey is always hard when it is requiring us to grow. 
The abundance is there. Love is there. 
All of our necessities are being fulfilled. 

Do not stay too long within the past. It can smother you to death. It will leave you confused and in grief. 

You must always view the past like a movie. You can view it at any time but do it as a third person. View it like an anthropologist, by taking notes on what is happening, and forming a manual for the traveler within. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 8.13.13: The Key is Found

Tuesday 8.13.13:

The card of the day is Awareness = The Magician. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of Full Moon = completion and culmination. 

Circle. 
Round and Round. 

The energy is about completion. Movement in a circular motion. The ending of certain cycles and the beginning of a new one. 

The Magician brings about the recognition of Tools. 

A Tool that you have been looking at and stating "What the heck is this for?"
Yes. What is it used for?
Sometimes the key is simply a key that opens a door in the near future. Do you discard it in the trash?
Something is advising you to hold onto it. You forget about it and also you forget where you have put it. 
When you return, you find, that the tool is no where to be found. 

Hmmm. Where did you put the damn thing?
I know! I know!

It is right where you left it!
Yes, it is a simple answer and also the most obvious. 
You will see it when the time is right. 

My friend Beatrice was advising me, the other day, that she had lost her keys. She turned to her patron saint Anthony for a little help. She said she looked for her keys in the freezer (which is a weird place to put them, but I do not question the actions of my friends) ten times. After a little bit of prayer, she returned to the freezer once more, and there the keys lay. In plain sight. Right in front. They were ready to be found. 

This is what the day shall bring. You may look for that key or tool all over your spiritual house. You may even attempt to look in the same spot many times. In the end, when your spirit is ready, the key (tool) will be found. 

Remember that it may not look like what you had intended it to be. It may be taped together. Held in one form by a single hair. The item will work. It will be used. It may be a one time shot or it may work for you again, later down the road. You must be thankful that it is still whole. 

There are items in our life that must break. They are no longer needed. They have no more meaning in our life. It is time to move on. 

The two constant items in our life are change and movement. You may think that nothing is happening but there is activity behind the curtain of your life. Hidden behind the shroud of Fate. 

It is time to state the unseen. 
"There is only good within my life."
"There is only love. "
"I am a wonderful and great person with the power to co-create my need in this life. That need is awesome. That need is great and I give thanks."

It is time to release your wonderful words of good into the Universe. It is time to use the key to open a new door. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 8.4.13: Dance

Sunday 8.4.13:

The card of the day is Solar Plexus Chakra. The hidden energy card is the Moon. The card sits in the position of Snake = rebirth, release, and integration. 

I was in church today and there was a little girl who was dancing to the music. The song was slow but the little girl did not care. She danced to the beat of her own drum. 

Sometimes our spirit wishes to dance and create but the world advises it that there is no music. 

That little girl felt like moving. She wanted to dance. To express herself worth. 

Our goal in life is not to have money. Our goal in life is not to have the most stuff. We are not looking to be ahead of everyone. 

Our goal is to shine. Our goal is to exist. I have been thinking about my niece Brittany. She is going through some rough times. I was talking to Brian the other day about how my entries should be aimed at her. An expression of life that may need a little advise on how to shine. There are times that we sit in the dark and question our own self worth. 

Today is about dancing to the music of the Universe. Singing your song of love and greatness. Brittany, it is time for you to shine! 

It is okay to question the path we are on. It is okay to have doubt but you must remember to return to what is truth. 

The truth of "you are worthy".

Dance with no regret. Dance with all your heart. Through your dance of self expression you will find the inspiration to create love. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.23.13: Plant Your Seed of Good

Tuesday 7.23.13:

The card of the day is the Eight of Wands. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of Dream Guide = teacher and guardian. 

My spirit guide is always around me. I can feel her. I can see her. She speaks to me at certain moments in my life. I ask her questions and she responds. 

Relationships can be hard. Time is moving forward and our life does not slow down. It moves forward with great intent and motion. 

The journey can seem difficult. I left one place of existence in order to return to another. This move has tested every technique in my bag of tricks. I must stay positive. I must change the way I think when stress and doubt creep in. Am I afraid?
A little bit. 

With every thought of fear there is a thought of love and peace. I may not be working right now but that wonderful job is making itself known at this very moment in time. 

With this change in thought, I am pushing my goal into existence, with great intent and motion. Things will start to move quickly. 
Your greatest technique is to dispel the negative thought from your mind. Advise the Universe that worry, doubt, and fear is neither person, place, nor thing. We must cancel out all thought of doubt and fear. 

My spirit guide is always advising me that if I do this then that will take place. 

If I give freely then I will receive freely as well. I am taken care of. I am in the perfect place at the the perfect time. 
Positive affirmations are the greatest technique. You must feel the outcome being present. This is the time to plant your seed. This is the time to tend to your wonderful plant of spiritual fruit. You must now take count of all the wonderful things you have in progress. If you only have one dream in place then tend to it with all your might. Let it grow. 
While you wait, allow all the good and love within your life to take place. Enjoy the time you have at this very moment. Enjoy the good that is around you right now! 
Listen to the voice of love within you. Can you hear it? 
It is advising you that you are wonderful. That you are love. That you are worthy of only good. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.14.13: Three Hours of Spiritual Traffic

Sunday 7.14.13: 

The card of the day is the Nine of Swords. The hidden energy card is the Moon. 

The card sits in the position of Travel = journey, path, and location.

It started to hit me as we drove into Arizona. The big question "what is next?"

How will we make it? Where will the money come from? 

I sat in three hours of traffic. My hotel room was a half an hour away. This tested my spiritual dexterity. I was stressed! I worries! I had to use the bathroom. 

I asked Source why this had taken place. I recieved an answer within the cards. The moon advised me that no matter which route I was to take to Phoenix, there would have been some sort of obstacle to overcome. I think I needed time to think. Think about how I must return who I was. The meditation practice I once had in place. It was time to be within alignment of my Divine plan. 

I needed to send healing energy to the accident. To send love. I needed to let things go and let it all be taken care of. I must remember this when my life is stuck in three hours of spiritual traffic. 

Blessed Be.

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.5.13: A Little Can Be A Lot

Friday 7.5.13:

The card of the day is Six of Coins. The hidden energy card is the Moon. The card sits in the position of High Council = evolution, information, and potential. 

I start my Reiki training tonight. I begin a new phase in my spiritual life. 
I will receive valuable information on healing and energy within the next three days. I will receive confirmation of what is next on my journey. That I am to heal. I am to aid others on their journey. I am to be....well...me. 

The Six of Coins can talk about money, and also manifestation of items, within your life. It can also relate to energy. The giving and receiving of energy from one person to the next. 

As I sit here and type out my entry, I am watching the show "Laverne and Shirley". 
I love it!

Funny that the episodes were about the move to California. I am to make the trip home to California in the near future. 

They made it to CA okay. I shall do the same. 

With every great thought, comes a great move of action. There is not much I can tell you, about what will happen today, regarding the energy within our environment. 
I can state that you will receive great information from Source. That the keys you hold in your hand will start to open up some doors. The doors that contain treasure. 
What kind of treasure? 

The kind that will benefit your body, mind, and soul. 

I want to state that this entry is small and I have to realize that it is okay. Not everything has to be large and grand. The greatest thing that anyone can do with an entry is write something.
Even if it is small in nature, you must write everyday, in order to keep the energy flowing. 
Here are the words I must state. I think that it will be enough. Who knows?
Tomorrow might be longer or it may be short. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 6.24.13: The Science of Spiritual Evolution

Monday 6.24.13:

Science?! Blah!

I am a Mystical Nerd rather than a Science/Math nerd. I like charts and equations that develop the soul. To find the answer to a mystical word problem excites me to no end. 

If John is traveling down a path of destruction and received four tools; One of fire, earth, air, and water, then how long will it take him to manifest his desire? 
If he decides to stay in one spot, will the tools be lost, and if so, then how will that impact his ability to create?

If I saw this on a test, in high school, I would have surely passed it. I would have turned to the class and said, "Oh, that is easy!"

I wonder what the formula would look like?

(The Moon/The High Priestess-The Sun)
         -------------------------------------     = Manifestation of Desire
                The Fourth Chakra

I will give you a little time to figure this one out. 

Just kidding. 

The science of spiritual evolution can look difficult, but with a little will power and faith, you will surely find the answer. You may not know the equation. You may not know the formula. One thing is for sure: the answer is always found within. 

The card of the day is Balance or Justice. The hidden energy card is The Moon. The card sits in the position of White = Source, Divinity, Enlightenment. 

This journey has a destination. There is a sign post ahead that reads "Welcome to _________"

Where are you going?
What level of spiritual evolution are you on?

Fire?
Air?

Are you finding the element of Earth in everything you see? 
The Science of Spiritual Evolution is related to the seven Chakras. We move through phases, breaking free from the crowd, and moving forward with great intent. 

The body must follow what the heart and mind do. It will mimic the good that is put forth into the Universe. 

The path may seem dark. 
You will see the light. It shines within you. Let it out. Let it be seen. 

Use your spiritual gifts to move past the obstacles set before you. If love is your gift, then love the very thing until it is within the same vibration as you....within the harmony of peace. 

I think I always state that you must go with the flow of energy. I now understand that the statement must be updated. 

You must go with the flow of energy that is always moving towards good. Towards your greatness. 

Solutions are within your field of existence. You must reach out and pluck it from the Great Divine. It is presented to you within the falling of the leaves. Within the crashing of the waves. Our spirit is in tune with nature. How did we figure out our problems before the time of college, education at a school, and the Internet?

We learned from experience. We learned from those around us. We would seek out the wisest person in the village and ask for help. The greatest teacher you can ever have is the one who will simply nudge you in the right direction and allow you to figure out the answer. To have your very own A-ha moment. 

You will learn your lesson. It will become part of your bag of tricks. To know that you can create. To know that you are strong enough to move forward. To Trust that things will work out in your favor. 

The language of science, within the spirit world, is never finite. The formula you use on one question may not always work for the next one, even if it looks the same. Be kind to your spirit. Be kind to Source. The answer is there, but the confusion of life and all of its problems, can cause us to see only the question. 

I now understand that when I saw a word question, I use to freak out, because I would get caught up on the information that was useless. Find out what it is really asking for and use the tools you have to open the door. To open the gate. The gate to greatness. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 6.6.13: The Dominant Ego and Faith

Thursday 6.6.13:

When I usually write my entries, there are moments where I feel like I am writing each and every paper that goes into a fortune cookie. A little piece of hope given to each person after their experience with the meal that was prepared for them. Spiritual fruit for the soul. 

The Dominant Ego can get in our way. We see this Ego when the illusions of the journey are set before us. The road may be dark, but we soon learn, that the light is not to shine on the outside. The light is to shine within and reflected back on our environment. 

The card of the day is Sacrafice = The Hanged Man. The hidden energy card is the Moon. 
The card sits in the position of School = Lessons. 

What lesson are you learning right now? 

The lesson of humility? The lesson of joy? 

What part of the movie are you filming at this moment? A flashback? The struggle? 

Have you ever noticed that a lot of horror movies have the victim running in the woods? Or they are running through a field. Could this be related to the Moon card? Is the person, the victim is running from, really their Shadow Self? 

Having a psychic ability can be a gift or a curse. Their are some light bringers that try to snuff the candle out. Then there are some light bringers who think that they are the best in the world. 

There is also the light bringer who knows that they are part of the whole. They can change that which is around them. They travel a road of psychic energy and produce, from the soil, spiritual fruit for others to take in and investigate. To analyze. To apply to their own spirit. 
Some will taste the fruit and spit it out with disgust. Others will want more. Some will not even take the time to eat the fruit, for fear can make a person believe that if they do, then they will get sick. 

The mind can be a prison cell at times. What we think, can create a box that we must live in. Who wants to live in a box?

Faith is part of love. To love that which hurts us, will change the nature of the energy. To kiss that which is ugly, will eventually make it beautiful. 

I could relate this to a crystal. Some people only want the purest crystal. No marks or blemishes. No scratch in sight. They think that if it has no blemish or scratch, then the power will surely be great. 

Then there are those who see the true potential of a crystal, blemish and all. They understand that it is just a prop. A prop that will propel them even further than before. The crystal may be scratched, blemished, and half near broken in two, but the crystal worker loves it with no conditions applied. Source has given them this wonderful gift to work with. It may not look like much, but it provides one hell of a punch. 

Sometimes we have to accept what is being given. What is blemished on our journey? We have to apply the half used tool with the task at hand. We have to appreciate the hand me down. Our Ego self will state to us "That will not work. Why waste your time? Give up and wait for a better tool."

What if this is all you have to work with. There are people who have made miracles happen with much less. Do not give up. Keep evolving. Keep using your ability to the best of your nature. Keep loving. 

Sometimes it only takes one act of love to save the world from certain Death. What if the scales were off balance, and it was your act of kindness, that tipped them back into balance?
Think about it. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.25.13: Meditation

Saturday 5.25.13:

I always seem to make Saturday my short entry day. The day is filled with all sorts of errands and also I had an appointment with a client. It went really well and I enjoyed every minute of it. I seem to get this great high from doing a tarot reading. I am filled with so much energy and at times I have to sit and meditate afterwards with a couple of crystals, in order to be at peace. Even with all of the meditation and relaxation, I still crash and burn. I get really tired and want to go to sleep. It eventually wears off and I am fine or I take a nap and rejuvenate my energy. 

I found that entering the crossroads where the spirits meet and talk, can take a lot out of a persons physical state. 

The card of the day is Four of Swords. The hidden energy card is the Moon. 

Well, I recognize both of the cards today. I was having to reserve or recharge my spirit and body by meditating. Taking care of my psychic gift. Feeding my soul with much needed spiritual fruit. Knowledge from the unknown. 

I want to share my experience. I have found my cross roads with the spirit world. It resembles an old house with a spiritual reading room. Dark wood and shadows around, but one window lights up the whole house. Many doors and stairs line the place, allowing gentle spirits to come and go. To speak to me. My spirit guide sits to my right in a chair. The only chair in the room. 

There can be a lot of great information given to you, when you simply meditate. It can open a lot of doors. You can learn a lot from your teachers. Meditation does not have to be hours of silence with no thoughts. Meditation can be a conversation with your inner being, during traffic. It can happen on the long drive home. It can take place, dare I say it, in the bathroom. While you wash your hair. When you wash dishes. Meditation is the act of being present in a moment. Checking in to your life and shutting off the auto pilot. Simply existing and downloading your next mission. Your next mission of joy and love. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.16.13: Finishing the Product

Thursday 5.16.13:

Sometimes our ability to finish a project, or to at least move it into the next phase, requires a little Faith. Intuition can be associated with Faith because you are having to listen and believe that a certain subject or experience will take place. All of this is done on the basis of a "hunch".

The card of the day is the Three of Coins. The hidden energy card is The Moon. 

The recognition of a job-well-done, should not come from others around you, but from your self. That is why you are trying to keep so many dishes spinning atop a  thin stick. The trick is to keep track of all of them, give a little push to keep it going, and move on to the next. Get the timing right and you will look like a pro. Get the timing wrong and scream "Op-ha!"

The dishes fell. So what! There are more. There are always more dishes to break. Hehe....

The project is never really over. The project is simply laid to rest at that very moment. It will need to be tended to. It will need to be looked at every so often, to make sure it is still spinning. To make sure it is still on track. 

What project is coming to an end? Who is recognizing your hard work?

I always state to other Light Bringers, that we burn bright, and shine at about 250% of our whole being throughout the day. We put our whole self, into a project, and at times have to bring in a little bit more energy, than others, so that the project can be born into existence. All that the Light Bringer asks, is that the person functions at their full potential. It could be 20%, 30%, or 100% but it is a requirement to work at that amount during the crucial time of completion. The Light Bringer will supply the rest. 

Who, in your life, is not functioning with their full potential? With their full existence?

It happens. The Light Bringer wonders what is wrong. What they have done wrong in the process of this wonderful project, and begins to doubt. 
Doubt must be eliminated from your mind's eye. 
It must be asked to leave. It must be crossed out. 
Know that there are times when you must take on the project, your self, and proceed with great action. The others will either catch up, or fall behind. That is non of your concern. 

Remember we are not doing this for the recognition of another...or are we? 

This project is taking place, so that you can be happy, feel happy, and be complete. 

Follow your still small voice, that sits within your spirit, telling you what to do next. To sit. To stand. To create. To transform. To heal. To simply...be. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.7.13: Abundance

Tuesday 5.7.13: 

The card of the day is the Empress. The hidden energy card is the Moon. 

Our journey can be filled with dangerous situations. We learned, from the warrior, that there is a time to fight and a time to sit back and let things take place. The Moon speaks about that journey and the danger of it, but evolution must take a risk. In order to grow, you have to evolve, and take on a new shape and form. 

Sometimes we have to speak up and be heard. To give a battle cry to let others know that "I am not afraid. That I am here." 

This is not to start a war, but to bring truth to the situation, and allow wonderful and great things to transpire. Transformation must be given a chance to, well, transform. To take on a new shape and form.

The process may hurt. The process may seem scary. One thing is for sure, that we are constantly searching for great and wonderful ways to exist. To shine within the dark. To be the great "I AM". 

Did you know that when we find dis-comfort and dis-ease, our spirit and body, is advising us that something is wrong. We are not within alignment with our Divine Plan. When we are faced with the ability to state something into existence, we must first understand if it is coming from a state of Ego or from Spirit. 

Source will never lead us down a path of danger. Abundance is around every corner. The Empress, will approach everything with the intent to create good. To create the best product, fruit, or tool that is needed. We reap what we sow. I do not wish to reap in confusion and a stagnant state of being. 

I always ask my clients, "What happens to water when it sits for a long time and is not moving? It becomes stagnant. It produces nothing good, but the Bog of Eternal Stench". (Labyrinth reference...)

The water must keep running, must keep moving. We are beings of light that are constantly wanting to evolve. To be better. To be of light. 
The Empress states to me that everything must have a time of Birth. A new idea must be born into reality. The pain may be harsh, but we move through it. The cycle must take place. 

I never related the Warrior to a mother giving birth, but something has just clicked in my mind, that giving birth is the greatest battle that takes place in our physical world. The Goddess within every mother, and person, must come through. Divine must take hold and produce. The Birthing experience is out of our hands. It may only take a minute, a day, a year, but one thing is for certain; you will have to go through it. 

Breathe. That is the true technique. When your Ego wants to step in, breathe. When your spirit takes over, breathe. When the battle begins....breathe. This will ease the pain and allow you to give birth to that wonderful idea...that wonderful dream...called Life. 

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 1/16/12

  The Moon.
We start out on our journey today. A new journey. We have been awakened from our sleep with new ideas and thoughts. We have come out of the dream world and into our reality. Now it is time to look for the sign posts that the divine has given us through our dreams. Understand that every journey has change within it. The real question is "Are we ready for that change?"
This is the challenge. We could go with it and find out that there has to be no struggle on our journey, or we could fight against the tide.
I can offer you this little bit of information: what you choose to do is not a subject of failure or praise. It is a decision based off of necessity. What do you really require at this time? What are you really looking for? Also once you have that certain subject, do you find yourself happy or disappointed?

Blessed Be.

  The Moon.
The energy will be about the Goddess. Female energy. Healing energy. Mother. We return home to find comfort. We return home to rest. We return home to spend time with our Mother and find comfort in her words of wisdom. Embrace the Goddess and let that female energy take hold on your heart. Understand that she is in everything. Be like the Goddess and love with great intent. Know that you are loved and that you are taken care of every day. Your needs are being met. Know that you are healed. You are healthy and that you contain power within you to move mountains. Faith. Faith is the key to all things. Open the doors. Let the locks be unlocked. Walk through to your new destination. Blessed Be.
