Whales and turtles have been sending important messages to myself and the 21 Day Meditation group on social media, during this challenge. The lessons have been deep and wise. Last night the Magic Glass sent me this image. I realized this morning that it appears to be a turtle chatting with a whale. 

The past 21 days of meditation have been a gift. A gift to me. A gift to share this challenge with a very intuitive and wise group of people. The lessons have been deep. the ripples have been far reaching. I am grateful for the lessons I learned through meditation and for the lessons I learned from others meditations. I am grateful for the support and the wisdom from the group and from those who read my stories. 

I feel free to share my insights, my meditations, my Angelic Team's messages and my life, in a way that I never thought I would feel compelled to do. I am grateful for this amazing experience. I feel a deep peace wash over me.

This morning, as I walked to the barn the Waning Gibbous moon greeted me. My heart stirred.  The calm winds, the bright skies and the moonbeams pulled me in, as I soaked in the magical energy that stirred my soul. Interestingly, the spiritual meaning of the Waning Gibbous is, letting go, gratitude and reflection. No wonder I heard the call of the moon, it is the last day of this challenge. It is the day we celebrate what we learned along the way. It is the day we dance in the energy and give thanks for the shifts we have experienced. Today we reflect on where we were and where we are now. 

My meditation practice has been very different this year. I have meditated at the keyboard, with my eyes closed. I have meditated with various soundtracks. I learned that some soundtracks are better for me than others. I have learned that I need to be part of the conversation, as I receive, so shall I ask questions. I also learned that it is important to ask for protection. I believe that this protection is to keep me safe from energies that are not in my best interest. I tapped into the lessons that were once again sent through my dreams. 

I was asked yesterday if I ever have Lucid dreams. I had to look it up, cause let's face it, I am not aware of many of the things I experience, as being different from others. Apparently having the dreams I have, has a name. Who knew? Last night I had a regular dream. It did not feel the same. I also did not wake up at the appointed hour to start my soundtrack. Hmmm, how interesting. I was actually blocked from having dreams last night. The only thing I remembered when I woke up was that we moved to Texas. WHAT????  I have absolutely no desire to move to Texas. You could talk me into moving to New Mexico, but I don't like the high heat that Texas endures. 

Upon reflection, I realized that what I experienced last night, was a lesson I needed to learn. It was a 'normal dream' a dream that isn't a lesson, or one that I need to remember or reflect upon. Even though I have. I needed to know the difference between the various types of dreams, (meditation, regular and lucid). What better way to learn that, then through becoming aware through my dreams? So, the dream I had last night was indeed an important message from my Angelic Team, my Spiritual Guides! For this lesson, I am full of appreciation as I celebrate the conclusion of this amazing 21 Day Meditation Challenge. 

Will you join us for the next 21 Day Challenge? 

My meditation from Day 21 follows: 

Singing Bowl soundtrack and 15 minute timer. 

The keyboard is at my fingertips. My eyes are closed. 

Breathe in, breathe out.

feel the energy of accomplishment, revel in the joy. Dance with your angelic team. Laugh, play, sing. you did it. Lead with love. Lead with a fire in your belly. Leave with peace, wisdom and empathy. Magical days are ahead. Rejoice in the songs you will sing. Rejoice in the words you will hear. play, dance, and sing. 

Take lessons as they come. Listen to the animals. Swirling energy. Ripples of love, light, dances and songs... 

Remember to sing, dance and play... you are way too serious. Find your joy, find your laughter. It is time to let go of the old habits, that hold you. Put those behind you... 

Put a pep in your step... I see the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical... Yes, that was no accident that you were drawn to this show, on the LG TV channels you clicked on the other day. There are no coincidences!

I feel lighter.. oh my I feel energy floating through my body. My fingers are flying on the keys... pure joy flows through my body... 

I see a white heart. The moon is a white heart!

Deep breath... listen with your heart. Go in peace... until we gather again. 

The meditation concluded early. It was fast and spectacular. 

What lessons have you heard during the past 21 days? 

Can you reflect on your messages and see the shift in your energy? 

Are you dancing and singing with joy in your heart?

Manifest a magical day!

Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 20

My meditation and dreams merged once again. It is as if they were one. I had the dream and asked for clarification during the meditation. This has become an interesting pattern the last few days. I woke up at the same time, too. I chose the Singing Bowl soundtrack and attempted to settle in for my meditation.

I was so dang distracted. My mind was going here and there. I heard the heater turn on. I felt the dog move. I heard the crows calling to each other.

I finally focused on my breathing. That seems to be what I needed to fall back into a meditative state. I recalled the dream I had had during the night. I could see it as it was rolling out in front of me, like a movie.

I was summoned to a home in the woods. I was asked to dress elegantly. I don't know if I chose the colors or if I was told which colors to wear. I was dressed in violet, purple and rosy pink or magenta. I could see the colors more than I could hear their names. They were beautiful colors and very elegant. I was all dressed up in a formal evening gown.

I was thanked for coming when they summoned me. Three women were attending to me. All of them were dressed in dark colors. I could barely see them. They told me just how much they loved what I had chosen to wear. They walked me down a hallway and escorted me into a dressing room. They brought me layers of clothing which they asked me to add to my formal attire. The colors were lovely and remained in the color pallet that I had originally chosen to wear. Lavender/purple, violet, and rosy pink/magenta, It was a light magenta though and very lacy. I was looking into a mirror, my hair was long and flowed in beautiful waves down my back.

I was given instructions to go home, but at the appointed hour I was asked to walk down the trail in the woods. I asked them how I would know when to get off of the trail. I was told that I would see a sign. The sign would have the number 9 on it. They said something else. It was not very clear. I believe they said that there would be angry people there. Or the sign would have the word on it. The sign also had an arrow on it pointing to the left.

I was thanked again for coming. I was reminded that I was going to go to teach, but it was not going to be easy. They told me to make sure I protected myself energetically. They said this several times in different ways. Are you protected? Make sure you take protection and don't forget to protect yourself before you go.

The appointed hour arrived. It was chilly, so I added a layer of warm clothing. A long black formal coat.

As I walked down the trail, I could see myself from behind, as I walked away. It too was as if I was in a movie. My body was young, thin, elegant and strong as I walked down the trail lined with trees! I looked regal and majestic as I walked down the forest trail! I was told that this is your perfect, pure, soul essence, doing what you were asked to do.

I left the meditative state. Before I rose for the day, I wrote down notes, so I would not forget what took place. I am going to need some time to ponder this meditation. Perhaps it is a message about what being a 'conduit,' means? Perhaps the colors have a spiritual meaning? I honestly do not know.

However, I do know, that I will do what feels right, as I walk along this forest path. As my life journey continues to unfold before me, I promise to follow the magical breadcrumbs. I promise to ask for guidance and clarification. I promise to listen with my heart. I promise to listen for the 'truth and wisdom' along the way. I also promise to follow that truth and wisdom. I will not be swayed. I am stronger now. I can and will discard the lies, the pain and the fears of others. This is my path to walk with my head held high. Confident and strong.

This image from the Magic Glass appeared a day or two ago. At first I thought it was a paw print, however now I have realized that it represents the magical breadcrumbs we are all given along the way to follow.

What do your breadcrumbs look like, feel like and sound like?

Are you listening to your wisdom and your truth or someone else's?

Do you ponder, reflect, say and do, what is for your highest and best good with confidence and with no regrets?

Manifest a magical day!

Angels and doves both appeared in my meditation this morning. The Magic Glass image of a light colored bird appeared, too! 

I have been waking up at the exact same time each morning, no alarm. I love this. I feel as though I am reminded to put my soundtrack on, so that I can meditate before I start my day. I have been drawn to the Singing Bowl soundtrack for several days now. I love it. It is not distracting, but it seems to help me focus my mind on breathing, which I have found that I need. 

As the magical sounds of the singing bowl started, a white Angel flew in. It was lovely, and beautiful as it slid into my vision. As it landed, it became a stunning white dove. It's eye was bright. I could feel its wise and intuitive soul touch mine as it folded up its wings. It settled in. A peaceful, calm energy emanated from the dove.

I could feel the energy flowing into and through my feet and legs. It was pulsating. It felt like healing energy at first, but when I asked if it was I was told no. this is filling you up. Today is a self care day. I relaxed into this lovely feeling. It was peaceful. I focused on my breathing. It was as though I was suspended in a magnificent pond, but it wasn't a pond, it was a lighter than water, but heavier then air. It was magical, and special. Time stood still as I became one with the doves gift of energy to my soul.

Interestingly, I heard crows calling outside. Ah, a reminder to ask a question about them. Is there a connection between the crows that have been appearing in my meditations, stories, the images and in the meditations and stories of others?

Yes, there is a connection between crows and the crow's nest. They both represent and are used for warning and for hunting by the crows and by the humans. I was shown the picture of the crow warning the flock of my presence, so they would flee to safety. There was mention of a Crow's Nest in Debbra Lupien's February 2024 Forecast. Be aware. The Crow's nest was used by the sailors to look out for rocks as they navigated a difficult rock infested area. This morning, I was shown that the Crow's Nest is also used to spot prey during hunting trips. Such as whales, seals, sharks, schools of fish, etc. Just as a crow signals to his Murder of crows that food is over here or over there. Be aware. Whales are important. I felt as though, they were being hunted illegally. The vision was short, but powerful.

I was reminded to review stories, because you don't usually remember what you channel. Yes, I said, that is true, I don't remember them. Several times now, I have noticed that I don't remember writing some messages that others find important. In fact, Debbra commented on a post yesterday, that I did not recognize as my words at all. Thank you for telling me the reason it is important to review our meditations.

I was asked to focus on my breathing. I started breathing deep, again. I returned to the energy bath. I could feel the energy flowing. I was in harmony with this magnificent place. There was no thought, just breath and lightness. My breathing was smoother rhythmic and harmonious, as I moved deeper into this space. I felt more energy, not healing energy, though. I was being filled up with this amazing life force energy.

I felt myself returning from the energy pool. I saw the white dove gently moving and expanding it's white wings. The dove lifted ever so gently away from me. As it flew away, it became an angel again!

I was told once again that today was an important self care day!

Have you asked for clarification when you are not sure what the message is?

Is there a bird or animal in your life that you feel is sending you messages to listen to?

What do you do when you are given a day for self care?

Manifest a magical day.

The Magic Glass sent me the best image today, as it goes perfectly with a recent story I wrote, about the crows in the fog. There are no coincidences, right? I also see another animal face below the crow. Possibly a horse or dog head? I am not sure, but it sure looks like that crow is taking life very seriously!

My dreams have been so interesting of late. Last night was no different. I was trying to remember the formula to solve a mathematical problem. My teacher friends will giggle, because I am sure they have had to teach math problems to students, but could not remember the correct or current way to teach that particular type of problem.

I was trying to figure out the length of all of the edges of a triangle. Yep, a triangle! I wanted to know what length the long edge was. I could not remember the formula for figuring out the hypotenuse. Take a moment now to ponder this solution… Don’t look ahead. In fact, write down what you think it is. (I will tell you later).

During this dream I was trying all kinds of ways to solve it. I multiplied two of the sides together. 2 x 4 = 8. Nope, that is not it, because that is the way to solve a square footage problem. I tried adding, 2 + 4 = 6. Nope, that is not it, that is the way to start to calculate the perimeter.

You get the picture. This went on all night long. Yikes! I was so darn obsessed with solving this particular problem, that I did not dream about anything else. I have no idea why this was so important to my subconscious mind at all. Yes, Dan, my amazing partner, is building shelves for our bathroom. I picked up a triangular device to help with creating a right angle on a board, but really, that was what my brain was obsessing about?

I was relieved when I woke up enough to turn on the Singing Bowl soundtrack. I had hoped this dream would leave my mind, but it did not leave. So after a few deep breaths, the opening words and more deep breaths. I asked about this particular math problem and why was it so important that I had several dreams about it throughout the night? It was distracting me, which was actually frustrating me, too! I was stuck.

I was told that I needed to set it aside. I could look it up later. Formulas are permanent. With the technology that we have today, there is no reason that you have to have all of these formulas memorized, that is unless you are using them frequently, which you are not doing right now.

OK, that was good information. I continued to think about the formula for another minute or 2. I was still stuck! I took in some very deep breaths, focused on my breathing and I promised myself that I would look it up after my meditation was over.

Deep breath in, deep breath out.

I was told that there are formulas, patterns, learned behaviors and habits. Don’t get distracted by something that you can look up.

I was told again that formulas are permanent, if you don’t remember it, ask someone or look it up. Don’t judge yourself for not remembering this information. Schools spend way too much time forcing memorization of things that can be easily looked up. This is one of those things that does not need to be memorized. Let it go. Don’t let it distract you.

Patterns are typical. Winter, spring, summer, fall are patterns. So are the patterns of birds, fish and animals. Study them. Be observant. If they change, figure out why and do something about it, if you can!

Learned behaviors and habits can be changed.

Why was the ‘Royal Family’ used in my meditation, yesterday? I was told that observing the mental health of leaders everywhere is important. These behaviors are also examples of learned behaviors and habits. These learned behaviors and habits can be changed. You are capable of learning new behaviors and habits. Don’t get stuck in habits that do not serve you or others well.

I was then shown a picture of my dad as a reminder of what my guides were talking about. My dad was a business man. He was a leader and well respected. However, as a family man, he struggled. He had learned behaviors and habits that were not serving him. He was hard on his family and himself. My dad went to counseling. There he learned that he could change his habits and his behaviors. I am so grateful that he did change. Our relationship before he crossed over, was healthy and amazing. We both benefited.

After I woke up, I looked up the formula for solving the problem I had been dreaming about all night. It has a better name. Pythagorean Theorem. I wanted to figure out what the ‘Hypotenuse’ of a right triangle was. It is Algebra. For the record, I love Algebra. I loved learning it and helping my students understand it, but last night, I could not remember how to do it. 

If I could have remembered this formula, a² + b² = c² maybe I would have been able to do it in my head, but most likely not. I would have needed a calculator. How about you, did you remember how to solve the problem I was obsessed about, when I could have been sleeping soundly or dreaming about something a little more fun?

---

Interestingly, while we were on our way to town to pick up supplies for our bathroom remodel, there in the middle of the road was a single duck. It was able to fly, but it seemed disoriented. It was extremely foggy, which made me wonder if that had something to do with it being separated from its flock. I may never know why, but it caught my attention. I will be paying close attention to the birds and animals for the next few days.

---

Have you ever been stuck trying to solve a problem that technology could help you solve?

While being stuck, did it distract you from more important tasks or thoughts?

Did you know that habits are learned behaviors that we can change?

Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 17

Last night the flock of crows gathered on this tree, just west of our barn. The fog was thick, but they caught my eye. They moved in harmony, away from the tree, when one called out. I was mesmerized watching them, as I was doing barn chores. At one point, just one was left on the tree. It was stationed on the highest branch. I could hear it calling to the others. 

Interestingly one crow, seemed to be letting the others know, when I came around the corner of the barn, with my manure fork. When I first saw them and took this picture, they were not afraid of me, but when I had the manure fork in my hand, they appeared to be afraid of me. The lone crow, the signal crow, the leader for the rest of the flock, was in tune with both myself and the flock. This lone crow called to his flock to land when I was not in sight, but called to tell them to flee when I was in sight. 

Watching the crows reminded me of the meditation I had earlier in the day. Leadership is all about leading through love while listening to all. This lone leader was listening, watching and warning the rest of the flock. Was the crow leading the flock with love or fear? 

It felt like even though he was warning them and wanted them to remain safe, that he was doing so through love for them. Did he love me? Nope, not at all. I was to be feared. Was it warranted? No, I did not have any ill will ideas for the flock. Did that matter? No, unfortunately, it did not matter. This crow believed with all of his heart, that I was going to hurt the rest of the flock. 

The Canadian Geese had the exact same reaction when they saw me doing chores, too! I watched their leader steer them away from me. I understood, because it was hunting season. I could have been another hunter. I suspect that the leader of this flock of crows has also been shot at. He has lost faith in humans because of his experience with them. 

How did this lone crow become the leader of the whole flock? How did his experience affect his fear of me, a human? I had no intention of hurting them. I was simply enjoying their company, while I was doing our evening chores. 

Maybe this leader was leading with love for his "family," however, because he assumed that I was just like all other humans, he had no love for me either. If this leader was open to starting a dialog with me, would it do harm to his family, if in fact, others have been shooting at them? It could wipe them out. Sometimes we protect others from harm because we make assumptions. Fear of what could happen, can really change the way we look at the world from the highest point. 

Could the fog represent the assumptions we believe so strongly? Fog prevents us from seeing the whole picture. How many times have you made an assumption about someone or something? Could that assumption be clouding your judgement? Are you "protecting" those you have a loving relationship with because of assumptions you have made about someone or something? 

I have made decisions when my mind was foggy with sadness, stress and grief.  Those decisions have not always been the wisest ones I have made. Generally speaking I believe that I have made much better decisions, when my mind is calm and clear. I can't go back and self correct most of those decisions, but I can try to remember to return to a calm and clear state of mind before I make important decisions. I can listen, love and lead from and through my heart instead of letting assumptions cloud my thinking. 

I listened to the Singing Bowl soundtrack this morning. I had dreamt about whales last night. I was a scientist in my dream. I was taking samples and studying the health of the whales. During my meditation, I asked for clarification about this dream. I was told that the health of the whales indicates the health of Mother Earth. 

I was then shown a Kaleidoscope. It was beautiful. Blue, red, green, clear and every other color imaginable. The shapes changed each time the Kaleidoscope appeared during the meditation. It was as if it was marking the various topics my guides were showing me. Hmm, why a Kaleidoscope?

Kaleidoscopes represent creativity, beauty, harmony and balance. It is ever changing depending on what is placed within it and how it is turned, while looking through it. I remember playing with them as a kid. I was in awe by the endless possibilities. 

Next, I was shown the Royal Family. Once again, I asked for clarification.  I was told that the emotional health of the Royal Family was also an indicator of the emotional health of Mother Earth. 

An incredibly beautiful kaleidoscope appeared once again. I asked for clarification for the meaning of the kaleidoscopes that had appeared during the meditation. I was told that there are endless possibilities that may occur, based on the decisions we choose to make. These decisions will affect the emotional and physical health of all who inhabit Mother Earth. Choose wisely. 

There was one more message. Be sure to listen deeply. Use your gifts, the Clair senses to listen through your heart. There are many (9) of them. Do not get distracted. Distractions keep you from listening.

What are your gifts? 

Do you know what the 9 Clair Senses are? 

Can you listen with your heart, in order to make clear and calm decisions, without being distracted by assumptions you have made or have been conditioned to believe? 

Manifest a magical day.

Firelight Blessings: Day 16

I had an angel visit last night. I dreamt about, of all things, bathroom designs! It was a very odd bathroom design, too! There were 5 different sinks all in the same room. 4 of them were in the middle of the room. Each sink had a small counter space on the right of it. Each one also had a mirror. All of them were open under them. The 5th sink was along the wall. This one was in the shape of an "L". A long countertop was on the long wall. It too was open beneath it. The sink was on the short wall. It was identical to the 4 sinks in the middle of the room. 

I was given instructions to give each person in my family a sink to use. Each sink was identical, so I handed them all out to each of us. We started using them, but I quickly noticed that my mother who had one of the sinks in the middle had a lot of shoes lined up under her sink. She had so many pairs of shoes, that I realized that I had made a mistake. I quickly switched her spot with the person I had put at the "L" shaped area. She had plenty of room now for all of her shoes. 

My mother earned her angel wings in 2022. 

I woke up at the same time that I did yesterday. I decided to listen to the Singing Bowl meditation again. Today, I asked a question. I asked about the dream I had had. Why did I dream about my mom, again? Yes, her name starts with an "L", but what else does "L" represent? 

"L" represents, Love, Leadership and Listening. The meditation moved into raising children. This was combined with how I was raised and how I raised my kids. There were some mistakes made in both situations. I was told that raising kids to be good citizens, as well as good leaders, is something that needs to be balanced with being able to love and listen to each other, too!  

If you are raising your children to be leaders, they must also learn to love each other and respect each other as leaders, too! They are equals and must not control each other, but work together to create the best possible outcome for all! Families who love, listen and lead together are the happiest and most successful.

The Magic Glass image of an angel appeared last evening. My Angelic Team has been busy during the 21 Day Meditation Challenge. I am grateful for their partnership as I continue to listen deeply to their loving leadership. Leadership is not about control, but about creating a long lasting healthy environment for all. 

If you are a leader, do you also listen with love, to those you are leading? 

Did you learn to lead others through control and fear or through listening with love? 

Is it time to self correct and learn to lead others with a loving, listening heart?  

PS. Dan sees a Dog Angel. I see it now, too! What do you see? 

Manifest a magical day.

I dreamt about my friend who crossed over in July. It was a beautiful experience, We traveled to all of our favorite places together. We went to her favorite riding places and rode our heart horses together. We went to my favorite riding places and rode our heart horses together. We took turns playing with our horses and laughing. We trimmed horses feet and discussed life. It was a joyful experience.

This morning, I wondered if I even needed or wanted to, officially meditate because my dreams had been such a lovely and happy experience. I decided to turn on a meditation soundtrack mostly because I had time and I was awake. I didn't need more sleep.

I turned on the Singing Bowl meditation before I rose for the day. It is one of my favorite soundtracks now. I was pleasantly surprised, when I saw pictures of our winter wonderland, here on our property. It was as if I was actually driving through the snow, past our trees and our meadow, like we have been doing for the last 2 days. I even heard the crows calling to each other as if they were saying, come join us, it's amazing out here.

The 4 elements came up. Fire, wind, and water were the first 3. However, earth and grounding were the 4th elements that I was given. Is that actually the 4th? (I remember thinking that I need to look up the 4th one, just in case I am wrong. Did I hear my team correctly?) Yet, grounding and earth was what I was given, so I am going with that. (I looked it up, Earth is the 4th element, but I was also told that grounding to the earth is important and is part of the 4th element.)

Fire came to me, when I was seeing the brush piles. They are not burning, but years ago we burned them during the winter. It was a sad memory, because I remember seeing bunnies run out of the piles. We had burned their shelter. Now we pile them for the bunnies, which currently feels like the very best solution for the brush piles. They eventually decay and return to the earth, but until then, they provide shelter for many.

Photo by author

Wind appeared, when I was being shown the piles of snow, that looked like waves that had been created during a recent blizzard we had. Those huge waves of snow were outside of the trees. Inside the trees and inside the meadow area, there were no snow waves. This area was protected and sheltered from the wind by the forest trees.

Photo by author

Water was next. Interestingly, the water appeared while looking at the snow waves, too! I was reminded that these waves will melt soon. The water will nourish the wildlife, the trees and the grasses. I was also told that water is incredibly powerful. It flows and moves with the earth. As it does it erodes new pathways and moves dirt, sand, rocks and more, depending on how much water is moving at one time. I was shown a picture of our arena after a heavy rainfall. I am always amazed at how much sand is moved by the gushing water as it moves down hill.

I remember looking for the owl, but I did not see it during this meditation. However, I could feel its strong, calming, loving, and wise energy. I was reminded to appreciate, protect and nourish mother earth. Be grateful, protect, cherish and nurture the 4 elements of Mother Earth.

The connection between ourselves and nature is vitally important. Do not forget this connection. Do not allow it, the connection, to become a lost art.

What can we do to stay connected to mother earth, wind, fire and water?

How do we protect this connection, so it does not become a lost art?

Could our connection, to nature and the 4 elements, already be a lost art?

Manifest a magical day!

We took a much needed drive, through the woods, yesterday. There were lots of tracks through the woods from the various wildlife, who call this little piece of heaven, home, too! The snow will be melting early this year, which is so strange. The January thaw has started. It has been a yo-yo type year as far as temperatures go. First, it was rather warm, with no snow. I loved being able to play with Onyx in the outdoor arena through December. January brought a shift in the temps. Our temps dropped 40 degrees. For 2 weeks we experienced below 0 F degrees for lows, and for some of those days, our high temperatures were below 0, too. We are currently experiencing another shift. Temps are once again above freezing for highs and even some of our low temperatures are going to be above freezing for the next 2 weeks. 

These temperature shifts are not normal for our area. Yes, we shift back and forth, but it seems as though our December and January months have been skipped. Our December felt like November and our January has felt like February or even March weather.

While we were driving through the woods, I asked Dan to stop so I could get a picture of this brush pile. I could see tracks going into the opening. It looked like a lovely critter igloo. A magical home, to stay warm in and protected from the elements. A home for a bunny or would another member of our woods call it home. Say a fox, skunk, badger or opossum?  

Interestingly, I believe that I can see an animal hunkered down in the opening of the brush pile. I love that my guides and intuition asked me to take this picture. I also love that it appears that it is indeed being used as a critter igloo. Do you see, what I see?

Our domestic horses are also in need of shelter from the elements. Onyx was given fresh bedding, which he used, because you can see the flakes of bedding on his sides. He was outside when we went to the barn this morning. He called out to me, touched his toy and looked right at me. Asking me if we were going to play before breakfast. We did play. We played with back up and whoa. Wait, for your treat with a calm and relaxed energy. No mugging me for treats. 

I find it so interesting that non-domestic animals flee from our energy or hide, while domestic animals learn to play and communicate with us openly. 

This morning, during my meditation, I saw the owl sitting on the tree again. It was watching over the forest. It was standing tall. The energy I felt was calm, confident and captivating. It wasn't hiding or afraid, nor was it full of questions or playfulness. It was watchful and wise. 

I know what it is like to feel like the bunny, fearful and hiding in the brush pile. I have made a shift, a magical shift. I am becoming more like Onyx. The magical owl has been guiding me to this realization.

This morning, I heard this message. "The healing energy, we have been sending you is bringing you out of the shadows (brush pile) and into the light! There is no reason to hide, anymore. There is no reason to be afraid, anymore! Ask us questions, play with us, we will shelter you from the elements!"

Are you living your life in fear and hiding from the elements? 

Can you hear the Magical owl calling you, calmly inviting you to live life confidently?

Have you noticed a shift occurring in your life too?

The following Meditation took place this morning, before I left my bed. One of these days, I will return to my meditations while I am sitting at the table and typing with my eyes closed. I am grateful for today's transmission, but it was not an easy one. I wrote about what I saw, felt and heard, but I did not write about everything in detail.

I listened to the Whale sounds again. It was intense. My mom came through. I was crying. The whales circled up, we were swimming to the right in a large circle. Flashbacks of trauma from my family that occurred throughout my life, appeared. I saw, felt and heard the yelling, fighting and control dramas as they played out. Visions of pain and sadness.

During the meditation, I realized why I had walked away from my family so many times, over the years. Self preservation. It was my way to heal, and to protect myself from experiencing more family trauma. I wasn't happy being alone (until I met Dan), so I always went back, at some point. This was the norm for this whale family, as it had been for mine.

I found myself thinking about each person in my immediate family. I looked at how they had also lived a traumatic life. I looked at my parents families and pondered those experiences. Some of their experiences were even more traumatic than what I grew up experiencing. I realized that because we had all experienced trauma, learned habits were learned through a fearful heart, not always a loving heart. We were all just doing the best that we could, given what we learned and experienced from a young age.

While swimming in the circle with the whales, I looked up. I saw an owl sitting in a branch, on a tree. It was watching us. "Be like the Owl! Watch from above. Don't join the drama, let it go... fly away. It is OK to fly away. No more pain, no more trauma! LET IT GO!"

I remember forgiving each of my immediate family members, for their part in hurting me, right before I released myself from that experience.

I put on a different soundtrack. Tibetan Singing Bowls, author Hoom Studio. I was pulled into a beautiful sound experience, that pulled me into a lovely, calm, peaceful place. I felt a calm energy float through and around my body. It was magical and magnificent.

When I finished, I thanked my team for peeling back another layer of the onion. I was able to start my day with more energy and a lot less physical pain and fatigue. (Yes, I took my vitamins, yesterday and today I even added zinc to the mix.).

After chores and playing with Onyx, I told Dan that I need to find a balance between my writing and my horsemanship goals. He asked me if I could do that. My honest answer was, "I don't know, but I think I need to figure out how to find a balance between my 2 passions!" He reminded me that 4 hours goes by in a flash for you. I agreed, it does! Why is it that I feel so compelled to write for so long? I can play that long with my horses, too! Interesting.

While peeling back the onion of your life, have you experienced a magical shift in your energy?

Have you been able to forgive others for their part in your traumatic experiences?

The owl in this meditation was stunning and wise, can you listen to and follow its important message?

Today's little miracle: I felt that I needed to include a picture of a singing bowl in this story. I have one, too! Though, I have not used it in a very, very long time. In fact, the box was rather dusty. I cleaned off the box, took out the singing bowl and cleaned it, too. As I was cleaning it, I heard my Angelic team mention two things I also needed to include in this picture. "Feather and owl." I knew which feather they were talking about. That was easy. I have lots of owls, though. I was not sure which one would work best for this. They did though, case as I pulled out the black cushion, to place the singing bowl on it, there under it was an owl necklace. This was an owl from my childhood. How interesting that it was with my singing bowl for all this time. At the moment, I don't remember putting them together, either. I consider this incredible coincidence to be a lovely example of angelic fairy dust lighting the way! Remember, there are no coincidences!

Manifest a magical day!

Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 12

We had cleaned out Onyx's stall and left his large door open to air out the stall. Temperatures were in the high 20's. I found it interesting that Onyx stood at this exact spot after I let him back in. (I had moved him over to Harvey's area while we cleaned the stall.) I thought it was so odd that he was standing there, I actually invited him into his stall through the large opening.

Dan let me know later, that the reflection of the sun was so bright, that he could not see into the barn, when he was on the tractor. The sun's reflection was blinding him. Maybe that was happening to Onyx, too? I was glad that I had led him back into the barn earlier though, because if I hadn't, I would have been walking back out there to do just that.

Watching him stand at the exact spot as his door, made me think about something important to share. How many times do we wait for a door to open that is obviously closed and we miss the open door right in front of us? I know that I have. I have waited, sometimes crying, for the door to open again, instead of sliding over and taking the wide open door instead. Life would be so much easier, if we learned this lesson at a younger age and learned it well. Life is way too short to stand waiting for a closed door to open again.

Today is Tuesday. I wrote the meditation for Day 12 yesterday, but with all of the hustle and bustle, I did not take the time to publish it. That is OK. So, read on with that thought in mind.

Yesterday, (Sunday) I felt the call of the whale. I had decided that I would listen to a, "Whale" meditation, next. Interestingly, I listened to a lovely horse meditation, last night. (Saturday night) Halfway through, I remembered that I was going to listen to the Whale Sounds. Oops. This morning, before I was fully awake, I picked one of Debbra's meditations. "The Underpinnings of Wellbeing." From her "Little Book of Meditations, Volume 1.

I was quickly reminded that I was going to choose Whale Sounds when this mediation started out with a jumping Orca Whale. So, when this one was finished, I looked for the Whale Sounds Meditation. It was just what I needed this morning.

I fell asleep during the horse meditation. Which was perfect. I needed a good night's sleep. During the Wellbeing Meditation, my mind was busy. It was full of plans for the day, week and rest of the month. Don't ask me why, I thought I had let go of the busy mind. Nope, it was still with me, this morning.

When I listened to Whale Sounds, I saw a lovely whale. It was a ruby red electrical color. It was swimming through the waves, more like a dolphin. It was lovely and so darn peaceful, but it was on a mission, pulling me with it through the waves out into the middle of the ocean. When we arrived, the whale's calls, became louder. I could feel them all around me. I was one with them. We made a large circle that was moving around in a counter clockwise direction, in a large circle. We were still on the surface of the water. I noticed a tail coming up and going under water in front of me. It was beautiful.

At this point, the whales were gone, but the energy was still there in a circle. It was peaceful, beautiful, energizing and filled with love. It was the perfect send off for the day.

Speaking of the day. We have a lot to do. The weather is warmer, 25 degrees F. Since it is warmer, we need to fill the cistern with water, as it is almost empty. We need to split wood, because we burned almost all of the wood we had split during the very cold spell.

We also need to clean Onyx's stall. He lost his bedroom manners during the deep cold. He made a huge mess of his bedding instead of walking outside or going along the walls. So cleaning out his stall is first on the agenda. Dan will use the tractor to help us. We don't want to wait until the temps go up over freezing, because the tractor could create icy areas.

I don't think I will write a Medium story today. (True to my words, I didn't have the energy to edit and post a story because I was physically and mentally drained on Monday.) Hopefully, tomorrow! Though tomorrow,(as it turns out, it is on Thursday, so I had time to write today - Tuesday!) I have a Zoom Online Class, in the morning with Mavis Karn, an amazing 85 year old woman, who was one of the people who started me on my spiritual path. She helped me to look outside the box and listen to my inner wisdom. I want to soak up as much as I can, from her, for as long as I can. She wrote the book I bought for the school I retired from last year. I just love her and her messages for kids and adults. (I left this portion of my F.B. Post in today's story, because Mavis's messages change lives. I wrote a story that included her book, It's that Simple, a few weeks ago.)

Who are your mentors?

Life changing wisdom can come from personal experience or from others?

What life changing words or wisdom have you heard, listened to and followed?

Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 10 and 11

The Magic Glass shared another L message. What else could this 'L' represent besides Love? While reading another's post this morning, I realized that L also represents 'Letting GO' and climbing a spiritual 'ladder' as we move along our spiritual path. It might also represent 'LIVE WIRE.' Read on, for the reason I mention 'Live Wire' as an 'L' word. 

Day 10 (Another busy day. I simply did not have time to write, but I did take time to meditate and read all of the posts related to day 10 from the group and from the book. It was a magical day)

Meditation: 'Sacred Time With Divine,' a meditation that Debbra wrote and read! (Little Book of Meditations: V. 1) It was perfect! I was listening to it in our sauna, it was empowering and healing.

The Metaphysical Live was wonderful, today! I am grateful, that I am indeed, 'a conduit between 2 realms,' per my personal meditation channel a few days ago! Having this confirmed was special!

Being told that I am also a 'Live Wire,' cracked me up!

This morning, I received a beautiful sign from my Angelic Team, my earnings from Medium as of today were $39.99 for January! I received 3 as an Angelic number, a few days ago, too. 999 isn't new for me either, as I was born on the 9th day of the month!

The 999 message was deep! Interestingly, I couldn't find 3999 on this particular website. It went up to 3460. So I looked for 3 and 999 separately. I felt led to read them separately, so I did.

Takeaways: I laughed a lot when I was called a 'Live Wire,' by my team. I had asked if I was indeed a "conduit" or if that was my ego talking? It was confirmed, I am a conduit, a "Live Wire." I can choose my path. I can choose what being a conduit looks like. I like this. As you know, I needed time to process what my team had imparted on me recently. Being a "conduit between two realms" is serious business, I needed to ponder this information from all sides, so I thought. I must say, being called a "Live Wire," and giggling about that name, as my hair was flying all over the place from static electricity, was just what I needed to lighten my serious mood.

Takeaways Day 10: Page 69 (The Path To Hearing Angels and Guides, By Debbra Lupien). The most important takeaway that radiates the truth, is that sometimes the ego needs validation. I needed validation about being a conduit. How fun is that? This day also states that as we get more confident, we will not need as much validation. We will trust the messages we receive. That also makes sense.

Day 11: Last night before I fell asleep, I listened to one of my horse guided meditations to fall asleep, I did not dream of horses, which I found interesting. Or, maybe, in a way I did. (I had a flash of an image in my head) I will ponder and ask my angelic team for input as I keep typing.

This is what I wrote upon waking. I did not want to forget, which sometimes can happen.

Day 11

My dream: I dreamt of being pulled, by beautiful strings attached to my arms, away from dangerous situations. It felt like some were past experiences, while others were future experiences! There were 2 angelic beings pulling on those strings. I was laying on my belly.

Meditation: I also listened to one of Debbra's meditations this morning. "Healing Love Infusion" (Little Book of Meditations: V. 1) Interestingly, I only remember being filled up with a lovely beam of light! Maybe more will come to me later!

Dream Takeaways: As I am pondering the multiple times I was pulled to safety last night, I am wondering if I was also dreaming about horses and driving them? The 2 beautiful strings feel like driving lines, as I was able to release them, if I wanted too. I didn't, I held on. Though I see, I originally wrote, "Attached". (hmm, more to ponder) Nevertheless, I love how my angelic team took examples from my life, to show me how easy it is, to ask for guidance, help and support along the way. Notice I said, "Ask for help."

I would not be pulled out of situations, unless I requested for help to navigate the obstacles on my path, first! Asking for guidance and help is very, very important!

Day 11 Takeaway. (Facebook Group) Peace, peace, peace... Love and Peace, I felt as though I was back in the 60 and 70's picking up the posters and marching once again for peace and love to guide the way. Spreading love and peace everywhere we go. As I read many of the group posts, I sensed a huge circle of like-minded people gathering together with this purpose in mind. I could see the peace signs as I read the posts. Yes, the fingers and also the circular pattern with the upside down Y.

This is not the first time I have noticed this sign. I didn't get a picture during the cold days, but I noticed the Peace Sign, the circle and the upside down Y a couple of times. (Kicking myself for not taking a picture) Tipper has a track outside in the snow. A few days ago it looked like a peace sign. It isn't very visible at the moment, but it sure called to my heart a few days ago.

The second one, was the watermark image, I talked about the other day. It looked like a peace sign, but also like a horse's hoof print with a smudged heart. It is missing the line that connects the heart to the top of the circle. So, it is a stretch, but while studying it originally, it reminded me of the peace symbol.

Takeaways Day 11: Page 73 (The Path To Hearing Angels and Guides, By Debbra Lupien). Goosebumps. This quote caused goosebumps to charge through my body. Actually everything about this particular reading did. The set up: Debbra is asking about being a messenger and carrying the Mantel of Light. Metatron replies, "Perhaps it would help to know that you are not the only one?" Wow, just wow!

What are some of the magical breadcrumbs you are following on your spiritual path?

Does the message of spreading peace and love radiate with you?

Have you questioned whether your messages are from your ego or from you Spiritual Team?
