On day 13 I had a vision at the end of my meditation that appeared to be Jesus hanging on a cross. I needed to process this. Yesterday, I drew the Spiritual Warrior card from the Magic of Unicorns Deck. I read the following quote, “Raise your vibration by invoking the Christ light!” I did not add it to the post. I also only wanted to sit in the energy of love that card 19, Cocoon of White Light talked about. I did this several times yesterday. The Christ light quote kept dropping into my mind yesterday and again today. Debbra Lupien mentioned ‘Christ Love’ during a recent video. ‘Christ love is not religious, it is pure love.’ When I heard that, I made the connection to the vision I had on Day 13. I am spiritual, but definitely not a member of a church, nor am I religious.
Seeing Jesus on the cross, reading about Christ Light and listening to the information about Christ Love, caused me to pause. Of course as a non religious person I can call on Christ to spread love and light across the land. I walked away from the church, not from Love and Light.
I find it interesting that I felt resistance after I saw Jesus on the cross. I did not want to do a normal meditation with my fingers on the keys yesterday. I needed to soak in the love from the unicorn light. I needed to sit in the bubble of white lovelight. Was I avoiding or marinating? I am not 100% sure. I am sure that I did the right thing by waiting to meditate until today. I am looking forward to it today. Yesterday I was not. Remember to always listen to that inner wisdom in order to stay in the flow.
I felt drawn to the Inner Child Oracle deck. As I shuffled, I asked for guidance for the collective for today. I drew the last 3 cards in order. When I went to pick up the book that goes with the card. 11 was stuck to the bottom. I put it first, because it was the first to pop off the deck, with the guidebook. It makes complete sense to me.
Do what you need to do. Feel the feels when you ask yourself the questions: What do I want to do or what do I need to do? These questions can have very different feelings when asked. What we want to do, might feel wonderful and exciting. What we need to do might not feel all that wonderful. Though it might feel OK, too. For example, I need to go play with my horses soon. That feels more like a want to me when I say that. Though, there have been times when I have said this, that if it feels heavy, more like I have to do it, because they need it more than I do. I can’t remember a time when that feeling of heaviness stayed with me the whole time I played with my horses. Though, one just popped up. When Onyx first came here, he was a handful. I could not believe that he was so difficult. It was hard and I felt unsafe. My friend, Kate, helped me so much with him. He would not still be living here if she had not helped me. I am forever grateful.
Another aspect of this card that it brings up is self-care. Self-care can sometimes be a need, as it can be uncomfortable. If you feel overwhelmed, ask your inner child what this could mean. This may be a sign to do what you need to do for yourself right now.
7. Breath in. This card lets us know that it may be time to focus on our breathing today. Breath in and out. When you notice your breath, try breathing deeper. ‘How does that make you feel?’
20. It’s time to Celebrate. Oh my, this card almost went back into the deck until I remembered that it is MLK day! Yes, I can with all of my heart celebrate MLK day. I listened to a channeled message from him, as well as a question and answer session with dowsing rods asking MLK questions. I also danced today to raise my vibration before I sat down to write. Tilly helped me dance today. She was a hoot. Usually she sleeps through my dancing. Today she barked, jumped and it was difficult to distract her with her toys. She just wanted to be at my feet dancing, too. Silly Tilly. It is very cold here today. Minus 18 this morning. Currently it is minus 6. The horses are doing fine with all kinds of extra hay.
So, today was a day to celebrate. The guidebook suggests that we celebrate the smallest things. Celebrate our accomplishments; big or small. Celebrate alone or with a community. Celebrate all week long, ‘through action and spirit.’ Celebrate what you have already accomplished. ‘Create spaces to encourage play, laughter and fun. If this is hard to do, what can you do to bring more joy into your celebration?’ Hmm, maybe that is why I needed or wanted to dance today?
32. Set Boundaries. This card suggests that we use the word, “no” more often. ‘Saying no can be a form of self-care.’ ‘Understanding what depletes you, drains you or makes you feel used, can help you to figure out what you need to say no.’
Today I said no to watching the inauguration. I felt a pain of loss today because watching the inauguration has always been something that I have enjoyed doing. I have watched it with my mom in years past, I have talked with her about it during and after. This was the first one I did not have her to talk to about it. (Hmm, I just realized that.) I put up this boundary for my mental health as much as I said no to watching it for reasons of integrity. If a different republican won, I would have watched all of it as always. Putting up a strong boundary for myself today, gave me the best feeling I could find, today.

I was going to meditate, but silly Tilly wanted my attention. Dan was making Apple Crisp, so it was my turn to play with the ‘Tiger’ . I am grateful that Dan and I can share her on these very cold days. -6F, up from -18 this morning.

Breath, Relax, Allow. Breathe deeper!
Breath, Relax, Allow… deeper
Breath, Relax, Allow…. Deeper.
Dan put Tilly out. I thought she was good to go.
I am grateful that he did.
Pause: You know who needed or wanted my attention. Interestingly, Tipper was a bit jealous. Kids, we go with the flow around here. I noticed yesterday that Tilly is staying awake and active for more hours. She is again today. She did sleep longer the last 2 nights, too. Which is a blessing.
Resume: Breath, relax, allow.
Interestingly, I just saw Jesus on the cross again.
Breath, relax, allow,
The cross is black. I am closer to it today
Pause: Tilly is barking at Tipper who has a bone. Dan is doing his best to be quiet and get her to engage with him. I am laughing. Laughter is so good for the soul.
Resume: Breath, relax, allow
Pause, I am laughing again because the barking is so loud and insistent. I am laughing so hard that I have tears. I guess the 'Celebration' card is making itself known. Celebrate the wins. Tilly and Tipper are playing or establishing boundaries. Sometimes it is hard to tell which is happening. (hmm, I wonder if that is part of this message - even during the hard times, find something to laugh about.)
Resume: Breath, relax, allow.
I hear them chewing on bones next to each other. Oh yes, I can ask for what I want, can’t I? Please help them to settle down for the next 10 minutes so I can finish meditation, if it is in the highest good for all.
Tipper must be here to show me that anxiety can make things worse, right? YES… Tipper has that habit down pat. She is a herding breed and wants everything to be in order… kind of like you. Tilly is a joyful, gleeful, energetic dog who wants to play, play, play. Everything is fun and laughter is the name of the game. Though she is learning to play with someone who is not like her. Just as you heard in the channeled video Debbra did today. We all must learn to get along with each other. Habits will need to be ‘let go of’ to do this. We need to take care of each other, as much as we need to find fun, laughter and play in our everyday lives while doing that.
Pause: You guessed it, Tilly needed to go outside. Dan took her, but she couldn’t wait. Oops, the warm weather can’t come soon enough.
Resume: 5 minutes left. Breath, Relax, Allow.
Oh boy Angelic Tribe, today has been a challenge to focus because I am distracted by the activity around me.
That is totally fine… we are not going anywhere, as you know.
I see the cross with Christ on it again. They meant it when they said they were not going anywhere.
So, since I resisted or avoided this (meditation) yesterday, because I needed to ponder and wait until I had more understanding, did I figure out why this image appeared?
Yes.
Now I see a seahorse…. It is swimming so peacefully through the water. There are now several seahorses, each one is holding on to a stem in a grove of stems. The plants are waving gently in the water. Little fish are swimming peacefully through the reeds… It’s beautiful and peaceful. Calming and quiet. Until a huge shark appeared… it’s not after the fish or the sea horses though, it must be one that eats plankton?
The meditation ended.
I feel as though the chaos was present today to help me build my ‘go with the flow’ habits. It reminds me of what the classroom felt like before I retired. I was not healthy enough to ‘go with the flow’ . I could not laugh about it like I did today. I am grateful that I am in a good place now to go with the flow and laugh until I cry. AMEN!
Manifest a magical day or more!
