Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 9

My glass left me with several beautiful watermark images yesterday. This one is a heart exclamation mark. Notice the circle below it? My guides are so expressive and creative. I am sure that they have always been, but I just needed to learn how to tune into their energy signatures, pay attention and ask for more from them. Since I started doing this, I have been given more and more. 


When learning, like anything else, I have learned to trust my guides and my interpretation of what they are telling me in stages. I have had doubts along the way. I have been frustrated and walked away, because I did not understand or I did not have the strength to hold tight to the decisions I knew were right for me. Instead I listened and took advice from other people. As my confidence grew in myself and my angelic team, I have been much better at following the feel from breadcrumb to breadcrumb. It is as though they are lit up and brighter than the world around me. Decisions have been easier to make, with no regrets because I have practiced tuning in. 


The 21 Day Meditation Challenge has been held twice a year for several years. Each time we do it as a group, I feel like I am back in school learning something new. It is a good feeling. However, it isn't always easy. I question what I hear, what I see and what I feel. I will be processing what I learn during this challenge for a while. As I have in the past. It takes time to weave all of the "new" messages into my daily life. 


Being told that I am a conduit between two realms, a couple of days ago, caused me to pause. It actually caused me to question the message. Did I really hear that or was it my ego? How can I be a conduit? Really? Me? Yet, when I think about it, I have been listening to the truth through my heart for a long, long time. I stand up for the heartfelt truth. I stand up for others and help them listen for their truth, too! I have learned to walk away from painful, and abusive situations, when I can and if it makes sense, to do so. 


I did not always stand up for myself or walk away when I should have. I had to learn some of these things the hard way. I had to self correct along the way. It was hard and very painful when I made mistakes. Getting back on the path I was meant to be on, took time, it took stillness and it took a lot of self care.  


Through the process of healing myself, I learned to bite my tongue. Allowing others the opportunity to listen to their heartfelt truth, because they need to learn to follow their wisdom, too! We can all look for the breadcrumbs our angelic team leaves for us. I am not more gifted than anyone else at doing this. Once I learned that I can listen to my personal heartfelt truth and divine wisdom, my journey became easier.  


I have had to practice and learn how to listen with my heart. Then I had to trust what I heard and believed to be true. Sometimes, I have had to self correct because my interpretation was wrong. Or I have tested the waters, checking to see if they were smooth or full of white caps and too dangerous to navigate. If they were too dangerous, I self corrected. I took time to listen again. I felt for the vibration through my heart, of truth and followed that path around the white capped waters. This is how I have created a magical life. 


I am realizing that I am not done expanding my abilities. I know that I need to keep practicing and that I need to continue to listen with my heart for divine truth. If this means that I am a conduit between two realms, then I am grateful for this lesson. The information caused me to pause for a moment. It caused me to reflect, to ponder and question my connection with my spirit guides. This message feels like it is true, when I filter it through my heart. I will keep practicing, learning and improving myself as I live and share my magical life, until it feels as though I need to do something more, to help others on their life journey.

Another watermark image that appeared yesterday, revealed itself to me as a horse hoof print this morning when I was looking at it.  Yesterday, I thought it was a smudged heart. Today, it looks like a loving hoofprint. Another amazing image to cherish. My Angelic Team is ever watching me, guiding me and sending me loving messages as I move from one lovely, glittering breadcrumb to the next. Like footprints in the sand, snow or on a beach. My life is and will continue to be magical because I have learned to listen with my heart. I have learned to walk toward love, light and joy. I am abundantly happier because I have learned these lessons.

This morning, Onyx and I played. It was -3 F. I did not play long, but I played with backing up, waiting for me to put his food out for him and inviting him to eat. I expected him to be polite, kind and respectful of my space. I too was polite, kind and respectful of his space and his ideas, but I was firm and very clear about what my expectation was. It was delightful. I felt our deep connection, as we played together. His ears were up and he was asking me questions. He was not being the dominant bully that he has been in the past. He has been dominant and told me, "No, we are doing it my way, I am going to take that food, you can't have it." I have had to learn how to connect with him on an equal level through our hearts. I listen, but I don't encourage or dwell on the negative. I do however, stand up for myself. He has a choice to respect that, or not. We can do it together, or he can stay out there, away from me. (And his food.)


As I am pondering how amazing my play was with Onyx this morning, it occurs to me that I have indeed had to stand up for myself with people throughout my life, just like I have with Onyx. Sometimes the relationship crumbles, though. My heart finds that to be sad, but as I move forward on my magical path, I know that letting go of all dominant bullies, was the right decision to make. If these people cross my path again and are polite, kind and respectful, I will listen and connect once again with my heart. I do believe that we all are unique, loving, kind and respectful, at our core. We all are learning to be the best that we can be. I am not perfect, I am not always right, I do care about others and I hold space for all. All are welcome in my bubble of love, if they let go of the bully energy. 


Takeaways: From the Day 9 Facebook Meditation Message. (Truth be told, I read it before I crawled out of bed, though I put it on hold until now). Interestingly, I must have picked up on what was being said, because what I wrote above was very much in alignment with what is in today's message. I love this part: "Pause, reflect and then decide what is in your highest and best interests." I call this listening through your heart or listening to your wisdom. I love this too, "Your choices function like a rudder, influencing the direction you travel." She goes on to talk about love and how it is felt. Spread this love across the land. Change the world through love. Today's message resonates with me at a very deep level. Here is another quote which feels like pure truth, "You are leveling up into even greater possibilities." Wow, just wow! 


I honestly could go on and on about this reading, but I will stop here. It is one that I will save however, to reread from time to time, because it resonates with my heart as deep truths. 


Meditation: Earlier today, I recited the opening words from memory, before I listened to a Meditation from the book, "Little Book of Meditations, Your key to peace and happiness in turbulent times," by Debbra Lupien. I chose, Chapter 3. Sacred Time With Divine. It was exactly what I needed to do for myself today. It was a self care meditation. A time to pause, to reflect and to energize myself. I felt the energy pouring into me and surrounding me with lovelight. I felt lighter, more confident and energized for the day. I continue to feel energized, as I have been going about my day. It was beautiful and perfect for today. 


Takeaways: Page 67 ("The Path to Hearing Angels and Guides. 21-Days of Meditation," by Debbra Lupien) Visions, beautiful visions light up the path in this meditation. It was lovely and encouraging. 


Have you walked away from situations or people because it felt like you were not heard, loved or respected?

Do you hold space for that person or situation, checking in from time to time, to see if it feels safe to return or do you lock the door and throw away the key?

Do you trust your Angelic Team and Spirit Guides to guide you on your magical path full of lovelight as you listen through your heart, to your wisdom, your inner knowing and heartfelt truth?

Manifest a magical day.
