Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 8

Spitz our older barn cat was begging for some love last night. He has a warm cat shelter in the hayloft that he has been snuggling up in during the coldest part of this Polar Vortex. He was born here many years ago. He comes down to eat, as well as receive some love, when we are in the barn to feed everyone. My heart is full when he shows up. He lays in the sunshine on some hay when the temps are closer to 0 F.

Today, while we were out running errands a lovely Valentines Display caught my attention. The love sign fit beautifully with yesterday's meditation. Follow your heart, listen through your heart. It was a great reminder to filter my thoughts through love. Magical blessings, magical days start with love!

I may need to go back to pick out a few new red and white hearts for the house. I was in a magical state of mind and could have bought everything. I needed to let myself enjoy the pretty display, today. I will wait until I am centered, to decide if I need more pretty things, or not!

Today, is a pause day for my meditation. It is time to reflect and process what I have learned this past week. I will spend meditation 8 with one of Debbra's channeled soundtracks. I will summarize after I am finished, because I am going to pause on doing it with the laptop today. 

It's time to move hay around and feed the horses. The temperature is a wonderful 8 degrees F. with no wind. It is snowing, just a tiny bit.  It is a magical winter day. One more very cold day to get through before the temps rise into the 30's. That sounds wonderful, but it can make the snow icy. I prefer that it stays below freezing until the middle of March in our little part of the world. It is time to bring in the weather gods so they can wave their magic wand and make that happen. I love warm winter days between 20 and 29 degrees F. It is PERFECT weather. I love snow at those temperatures!

Opening Words: Page 33 (from The Path To Hearing Angels and Guides - 21 Days of Meditation, By Debbra Lupien) One of the phrases I love is: "Help me to understand your daily teachings and to incorporate them into my daily life experiences."  I feel like that is something I am doing during this round of the 21 Day Meditation Challenge. I am so grateful. 

Meditation: I read and listened to the second Meditation, "Love is the Answer to Everything, from Debbra Lupien's book, "Little Book of Meditations." I had totally forgotten that this meditation was in this book. I think my guides knew I needed it and magically guided me back to it. Interesting how that happened. I knew I needed to pause today and process. I am so very grateful that I did. 

Takeaways: Page 65, Day 8. (The Path To Hearing Angels and Guides.) Two things. First, "John Dever was a channel." I honestly loved his music. We lost him too soon.  I am not surprised that he was a channel. The second takeaway, was about creating space for silence. Perfect, that is what I did today. I paused and created space for silence. It was perfect. 

Takeaways: Facebook group Day 8. Somedays the perfect thing is to just sit quietly. YES! This is my takeaway and what I needed to do today!

Have you found that sometimes taking a break, a pause, is in your highest and best interest?

Can you honor and respect that you are in need of a pause or a self care break? 

Do you have a favorite meditation that you use when you take a break and allow stillness to wash over you? 

Manifest a magical day.
