The Magic Glass image appeared several days ago. Today, it tugged at me, it wanted to be shared. It is one image, looked at from 2 different perspectives. I am reminded of standing on the edge of a large body of water. It is not a complete mirror image, but it is close. It reminds me to look at situations, problems or our next steps from several perspectives. The heart reminds me to look at those situations, problems or next steps through my heart. I have not always done that. When I have not, I have had regrets, disappointments and frustrations.
The capital L in the photo with the upside down heart, represents "LOVE" to me. Either way I look at this image I am reminded to use love or my heart as the filter to see it through.
I have been seeing hearts during some of my meditations this round. I just "heard", "Love is the answer." I looked it up, as I wondered if there was a song written with this title. Sure enough there was. Love Is The Answer, sung by England Dan and John Ford Coley. When I clicked on it to listen I was amazed. A beautiful ocean sunrise or sunset appeared. If that was not enough, shortly after that embers started to float and dance into the sky. The only thing this video is missing is the dancing smoke from yesterday's vision while I meditated.
Since there are no coincidences. I take this as a sign. A sign to look through the lens of love because love is the answer. Listen through your heart, because love is the answer.
Wow, this was powerful and I have not even meditated yet. Since, I had intended to share this dream when I started writing today, I will, though I can now look at it through love instead of fear, worry and sadness.
I had multiple dreams, that were very similar to each other, last night. I had found a mother cat in need. She had 11 very tiny kittens. They were scattered around her. They were very cold. They were not warm because she could not keep them all together. (The number of kittens (11) stayed consistent, during the many dreams of the night, I will look it up.) I was relieved that I was able to gather them all up and put them all into a blanket type nest box. Warning: something sad kept happening, no matter what I did. They were run over by a truck. It was a Groundhog's Day movie type of night. I tried various things to protect them from the outcome. Nothing seemed to be working. Finally, I put the towel into a long white tube. It was very hard and I felt that it would protect them. When the truck ran over them, they lived.
I was doing my best to protect this family of kittens. My heart was invested. I could not save them until I looked at several options. All of the options were through the lens of love but it was not until I saw that I could not change the outcome, (the truck was going to run over them) was I able to come up with the best solution for that dream. Love is the answer, holds true here, too!
I loved the synchronicities I have experienced since yesterday's Meditation. I feel as though I am living my life in meditation. I feel as though the meditation I am doing is allowing me to go deeper. I believe that doing this 21 Day Meditation Challenge in a group, has allowed me to see, feel and learn from others powerful experiences. Together we are going deeper. Together we are supporting, lifting each other up and interpreting each other's experiences through the lens of love, wisdom and gratitude.
Today I will start with a Soundtrack, the opening and of course set my timer. Afterwards, I will read Day 7 from the Book and from the FB Group.
Soundtrack: Ocean Swell, author Hoom Studio. It states that I will get lost while looking at the horizon while the sea spray caresses my face. Perfect!
The timer is set: 15:15
Opening Words: Page 33 from, "The Path to Hearing Angels and Guides," By Debbra Lupien.
Because I was feeling stress in my back muscles, I decided to stretch and wiggle before I started to meditate today. Perfect timing, too. Dan is working on the upstairs bathroom remodel and was done with what he needed to do in the basement for the moment. Currently he is moving supplies upstairs to the bathroom. We came up with a plan together to allow me to meditate while he is upstairs. I love our partnership.
Ready. Set. Go.
Deep breath, in and out. Several deep, calm breaths. In and out.
The energy is flowing through me gently, but powerfully. Strong, like the waves. Interesting.
I thanked my guides for reminding me to stretch first. (It really made a huge difference in my comfort.)
I see a crescent moon. It fills the entire sky.
"Look up what this (crescent moon) means later. OK?"
A powerful energy rush continues.. gentle, loving but very powerful.
It is as though, I am in my sauna... the heat is penetrating me from all sides. It is good. Pleasant and appreciated. (It also reminds me that I need to turn it on before we go out to do horse chores. I forgot to, yesterday.)
I repeat, "Listen with your heart. Listen with my heart. Listen through my heart."
I repeat, "Peace. Abundance. Joy. (or Happiness)," several times.
I hear, "Rest assured that you are....."
I ask, "You are, what?"
Once again, I hear. "Rest assured that you are...."
I think I hear,"One."
I listen again, I hear, "You are."
Ok... deep breath. I felt frustrated... so I let it go for now. Deep breath.
The energy returns. A shadow of dark, moved over the horizon.. It is a mottled purple red color. I see boulders. Large boulders.
I hear, "Sit on a boulder... rest.. ponder... take in the energy from the boulder."
"Live your life from this energy." It is smooth and hard, yet soft and beautiful.
"It holds you, as you reflect, as you study the world around you and as you make wise decisions." A large heart appears. "Listen from your heart, while you are grounded on (or by) the boulder."
Deep breath... I feel this meditation is about to end.
I hear, "Time flies!"
That sure is the truth. I have noticed that time is flying by.... (I talk about this frequently. I don't remember time moving this fast until I retired.)
I hear, "Take in the energy, revel in the feeling. Take it with you throughout your day."
I hear, Mourning Doves as they fly near me.
I hear, "Look up (the spiritual meaning of) Mourning dove again. (Pause) And eleven. (Pause) Kittens, too."
The alarm pulls me back form the boulder.
First Glance: Just a few errors. No capitals. Very little punctuation... I am not surprised. I let Dan know that I am done with my meditation. He can move freely through the house.

I wonder if Mourning Doves communicate like we do with their partner? I noticed only 1 Mourning Dove on the brush pile before I meditated, but when I looked closer, I saw a second one all puffed up behind the green snow fence. Their partnership is palpable. I wonder if just one, or both of them, believed that staying here through the Polar Vortex was a good idea? How did they come to the agreement to stay for the winter? Personally, I think they should have flown south for a few weeks, though the Polar Vortex has been far reaching again this year. Fortunately for them, we are having a warm up today. From -3 F. last night, to 8 degrees above 0.
Takeaways: I remember being asked to lookup the spiritual meaning of Mourning Dove. Here it is:
"They feed from the ground showing us to stay connected with Mother Earth. The dove is a messenger from a higher power. You can hear their call more often at dusk and dawn. This is when the veil between the physical realm and spiritual realm is the thinnest. They bring a message of love and peace. It is time to put your mind to rest and remember to love yourself and others."
I look up 11. OMG. I am "Gobsmacked!" (as Debbra would say!) Here it is:
"Angel Number 11 encourages you to be an inspirational guiding light to bring illumination to others and help raise spiritual awareness. Trust that the angels support you in your lightwork."
Since, I was asked to look up Kittens, too, I will, but I am holding my breath. Here it is:
"Intuition
Like cats, kittens can encourage dreamers to listen to their intuition and examine underdeveloped psychic abilities. Before deciding on doing anything, you need to trust your gut feeling. Let it guide you toward the right path in life."
I feel as though these 3 spiritual meanings were on point with what I have been receiving during my daily meditations. I am grateful, because I think I needed confirmation. As I always say, there are no coincidences!
Takeaways: Day 7 from the book. Page 63. I am pulled to this quote, "Can you, will you, remain steadfast to your commitment even when it means sitting in silence with your own thoughts?"
It is hard to sit calm on the boulder, soaking up the energy, without hearing or seeing messages. It sounds like that is exactly what I need to do, though! I am reminded to listen with my heart and through my heart while sitting on the boulder!
Takeaways: Day 7 from the Private Facebook Group. (Please read the book. The link to join is available in the book. FYI, we do this amazing Meditation Challenge twice a year. No, I do not receive royalties!)
Debbra was inspired to look up the Spiritual Meaning of 7. WOW. Shortened summary that I connected to: The number 7 encourages you to take up a heart-based service, if you are inclined to do so!
The following words also are meaningful from Day 7's post. "Forward progress, pause, assess, allow new understanding to become a part of you, rest, then repeat the cycle."
The Boulder image fits right in. I am inspired to look up the Crescent moon. This is what I found:
The waning crescent is the last phase before the new moon, where most of the moon is dark except for a small crescent. According to Spirituality + Health, this phase can be a time of gratitude, to sit with all the thoughts and feelings from the whole moon cycle.
Since I was asked to sit and ground myself on or by the boulder, the meaning of the crescent moon I saw, fits right in with this message, too! WOW, I am in need of some pondering and reflection time.
