21 Day Meditation Challenge: Day 19

January 24

As I look at these cards I think everything is so incredibly positive. How couldn’t it be. New Beginnings. Inspiration and Hidden Depths. 

A couple of days ago I heard The British are coming. The British are coming. During the Revolutionary War, when the USA was birthed, This call was used in a poem to describe that the Regular British were coming, as everyone was British. In my meditation, I felt that this was a good thing, rather than something negative. 

Today I did not ask a political question, though it may be heavy on many of our hearts. Yesterday I chose to ask the same question as the day before when the cards gave me such joy. Today, the question I asked: What is the highest and best outcome for the collective; all who will see these cards today or in the future. These cards may mean many different things to each one of the people who see them. So look at them, feel them and ponder what the message is for you. 

New Beginnings refers to a Fairy Godmother who is very excited to deliver wonderful news of a baby or new idea. She is celebrating and overjoyed with happiness. This is the sentence that I loved. “Either way, it’s wonderful news and there’s an aura of happiness and celebration surrounding you right now or in the near future.” 

I found it interesting that in the last paragraph she talks about, "being your own Fairy Godmother like Glenda the Good Witch of the South explains to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz when she says," 'You had the Power all along, my dear.'

I found it especially interesting because recently I mentioned that the city that is underwater may look like Oz. There are no coincidences. How do these cards touch your heart? 

I love the second card. The card of Inspiration. We have seen this card before. Be prepared to be showered with all kinds of inspiration. If something feels like it is for you, follow it. If not it may be for someone else. “When an idea does resonate with you, however, go with the fairy-flow and trust where it may lead.”  The word, ‘fairy-flow’ tickled my fancy so much. She talks about ‘how it may be time to take action on inspired thought.’ It may also be time to go out into nature where you can be inspired. “Allow inspiration to flow.” 

When I read the Hidden Depths card. I was ecstatic until I read the first sentence in the guidebook. “Sometimes it’s easier to be in denial than to face a challenge, so we act as though something never happened and pretend everything is fine.”  She goes on to say that, “releasing the things that have been hidden from view can be very liberating and help us to move forward with our lives.”

The last sentence in this first paragraph ties back to the water I keep seeing. Apparently there is a Fairy of Water. She “comes to hold your hand gently and guide you during the releasing experience.”

She talks about how this could be about releasing a traumatic event or how it could mean that a friend or someone you know is keeping a secret. If you need professional help to release it, get it. The positive outcome is that releasing it all will bring you great joy and happiness. 

OK, I am all for Joy and Happiness. I have released many painful experiences over my lifetime. I understand that living in joy is magical and magnificent. I know with all my heart that all we have is this moment. Living in the past or living in the future isn’t going to help us to be at peace. I know this, yet a part of me wishes that I was living a different timeline at this time in my life. I remember thinking that years ago, before I met my husband. I had wished to live in an amazing marriage, I saw a home with a fireplace with a rocking chair next to it. Dogs at my feet and horses in the pasture. I had no idea how that was going to happen when I wished for it, but today I can say that it came true shortly after I made that wish. I had no idea how the universe managed to put all the pieces together so we could meet each other, but it did.  

I trust that ‘New Beginnings’ are on their way, through ‘Inspiration’ we will be set free from the trauma we experience because something from the ‘Hidden Depths’ will be exposed. 

Tilly update. We are calling her, Tilly Bear, because she reminds us both so much of Bear, who reminded us of Dakota Bear. She is my Velcro dog. I adore her so very much. Today, she weighs 11 pounds at 10 weeks old. She was 5.5 lbs at 7 weeks. We picked her up at 8 weeks of age. Today we bought her 2 more toys. Yes, she has plenty now for a while. The best part of getting her the new toys, was that I could dance with her because the one is very long. We got home with them and she was so happy to get them. However, Squirt (Nabby - mom’s dog) The old man at 13, decided that he needed to get in on the action with the new toys. I snapped this picture of him carrying it around the house as if he was a puppy, too!

Breath, Relax, allow, focus. 

Breath, relax, allow, focus. 

Focus on love as you breathe in and out. The starlight love that is brighter than what you have ever experienced before. Breathe, relax, allow, focus.

Focus your energy to shine with the Angels, the sea life, the Spirit Guides and lightworkers. It is time to focus this powerful, magnificent love and star light.  The world needs this love light from the heavens to protect it from the dark magic that has been released into the atmosphere. The star light contains magic to keep the world and all of its angelic beings safe, as you stand together as one. 

Inspired thought will become movies and books. Leaders will emerge from within the dark forces to shine star love and light bright. Magically dissipating the negative energy. Peace will prevail. 

Breath, relax, allow, focus

I see dancing in the streets… glitter is falling from the sky, but it isn’t glitter, it is sparkly star light or dust… dancing and singing…. Clapping and joyful energy abounds. 

Is this the city that is under water? 

No, this is your city and your streets… Do we go to the city underwater before we can dance in the streets in our own cities? 

That has not been revealed as of yet. 

I am hearing a deep voice. A different one from what I usually hear. 

Are we being asked to celebrate as if what we wish for has already arrived?

Yes, as that is what Breath, relax, allow and focus, means…Listen for the inspirations, do what inspires you, each of you, to be the best that you can be, to be in the flow of love. It’s the way of the magic. 

Trust those who can do something, to do what they do from a calm, centered, inspired heart… Their mindset is what needs to be strong… Shine that light to those who are being inspired to do the work. That is your job now… shine the light and hold the door open for the strong magic to assist them. 

_________________

Once again this was powerful. I was surprised by the deep voice of this meditation. I did not ask who it was. I am excited that whoever it was came. He, as I think it was a he, kept his tempo slower for me, so that I could keep up with the typing. 

I am grateful for the message. I can shine my light and hold the door open for a magical outcome. Just as I did after I made the wish for a healthy and strong marriage. I wish for a healthy and strong place to live. I trust the universe to deliver!

Manifest a magical day or more. 

21 Day Meditation Challenge: Day 16

The question for today was, What can you share with us when we have anxiety or fear? 

Photos by author

19 is a repeat card from day 14. I looked through the guidebook to see if I could glean new information to share. Yes, ‘Ask your unicorn to place you in the bubble of white light!’ The unicorn can take the 12th dimensional light and reduce it down to what vibration we can handle. Oh. That tells me that when I am in a low vibrational state of mind, like I was this morning. I can ask for my unicorn to surround me in this amazing white light of love no matter what state of mind I am in. That love will permeate my being and help me to raise my vibration, so that I can be in the flow again. 

Trust me, this morning I was an anxious mess. I couldn’t get anything done. I tried giving Tilly a toy with some treats in it which worked great for her, but Tipper thought she should have it too. So instead of making my life easier, I spiraled into a state of overwhelm. I wanted to dance, but didn’t want to dance in front of my husband, but I couldn’t go upstairs to do it alone, cause the dogs were getting amped up, too. It was a circus of epic proportion both in my mind and in reality. Nothing I tried was helping anyone. 

I had my wonderful book club meeting coming up at noon, too. We are reading the book that Mavis Karn wrote, It’s That Simple. Which coincidentally is all about being in the zone/ being in the flow. How to be authentic through deep listening. How we are all perfectly made, but just don’t know how to use our personal guidance system. This book is made for people like me who are fearful or overwhelmed, grieving or angry… any of the emotions that can take over our mind instead of living a happy, joyful, confident life. 

There was another lady in the zoom meeting who was babysitting her daughter’s dogs. She was feeling the same darn way I was. During the call, I had my camera off for almost all of it. I put the dogs out in deep cold weather at least 3 times in the 90 minutes. Thank goodness for bluetooth earbuds, cause I was listening. My anxiety was not getting any better, until It did. Then guess what, the dogs also calmed down. Hmm. Funny how that happens. One of the things another person said she picked up from a call she had been on with Mavis, is that we don’t have to do anything but be calm ourselves when someone is struggling. That deep calm does more for others sometimes. I know it does for me. I may be frustrated or antsy, walking or talking without stopping, but if I can grab on to a thread of calm, or feel the loving energy of a unicorn or my Angelic Tribe, the “LOW” mood usually leave upon its own accord and I can get back in touch with my inner wisdom. This is the place of creativity and inspiration. I can usually see the next best step for myself from a place of love and calm. 

I love this quote from the book, too. “Your unicorn whispers that there is only love!” It reminds me that love will prevail. We are going to be OK if we are surrounded in a bubble of love. It’s magical and delicious. 

39. Was a new card for us. Ascension Lift. Oh my. The rainbow and the animals all lifting up into the air gave me chills. The reading for this card is deep and full of pearls. Every word could be shared here. I will share just the ones that really resonated with me today. One is that we can take an actual lift, an elevator of sorts to ascend. We can hop into it when we are ready with our unicorn and press a ‘Cosmic Button’. How absolutely cool is that? Before we take the lift, it is important to “Examine your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life and decide on your destination.” I love that today this card came when I asked, What can you share with us when we have anxiety and fear? Check in on your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. If there is anything you need to do or change, do that so you are ready to take the Ascension Lift. 

I am grateful that I experienced a little emotional upheaval this morning, so I could ask for guidance for this from our tribes. I know I am not the only one who has experienced feeling a bit off the last couple of days. Love light to us all. 

The last card that popped out of the deck today was 18. Refreshing Oasis. Look at that warm and peaceful picture. Green grass, flowers in the meadow, a calm Unicorn and donkey. I felt calmer and more in the flow when I looked at it. It uses tranquility and relaxation. Which is exactly what I needed to find this morning. Interestingly, I thought dancing would give it to me before the call. Nope, it helped, but I was not calm when it started. I thought talking on the call would help. It just let everyone know I was not myself and bless their hearts, they practiced getting calmer and wiser while I tried to mediate the conversations and needs of the dogs. In other words, they did not join my anxiety. 

The guidebook states that, “This card suggests that you need to rest, relax and take care of yourself!” A few sentences in it says this. “Take yourself into your inner cave of calm and tranquility!” (I did not read this until just now, I promise!) It suggests that we listen to what we need and ‘schedule time for it!’ I think it may be time to schedule a message, how about you, what do you need? 

___________________________

Breath, relax, allow. 

All is calm in the house. What a difference from this morning. I am grateful for the lesson or should I say the reminder that I am not calm, centered and lighthearted all of the time. I can still get frustrated or anxious. Is this so that I remember how far I have come on this journey?

Yes, when you experience these moments, and they are just moments in time, where you are unsettled, once you come out of it, it is yet another example to use to help others. They can join you in a sea of calm. 

Oh?  

Yes, when you share this with others they feel the difference between the two energy vibrations. One is heavy and dark, the others is light and well, light. Shine that light, but don’t forget what it feels like to have been living in a heavy and dark place. 

People will eventually be waking up. They will need support as they do. If you are in joy all of the time it can be scary for others to step into that lightness. They don’t realize that you were once struggling with joy and happiness, too. 

You don’t stay there (in that low vibration) long anymore. You lived there for far too long over the years. It feels even heavier to you when you go there now. Maybe even scarier than when you lived there. You didn’t know the difference like you do now. Being in a peaceful, tranquil, joyful place is where you spend most of your time now, which is wonderful. There is an even more magical and magnificent feeling to go to at the higher vibrations that is ahead for you and others. Allow us to lift you up. Your permission and request is vital. Slow and steady or at rocket speed, the choice is yours. You will find the right avenue to take as you continue to travel along the waves of life. 

I see a lovely ocean with crashing waves  on one side and smooth waters on the other. 

Breath, relax, allow. 

Soak in the white light between the waves and the smooth water. Put your feet in the water and breathe in the ocean air. Ground yourself.  

Which side of the picture did you dip your toes into? The crashing waves or the smooth tranquil water?

I put my feet into the smooth waters… 

breath, relax, allow. 

I hear the crashing waves, but I am not feeling them. They are there and I am here. This peaceful, warm water is my reality. 

Let the waves create their chaos over there. 

It is not my choice to be in that water, today. 

Breathe, relax, allow. 

Oh, was the cigar I smelled letting me know that my dad was close to me the other night as I stood on the step with the dogs? YES!

The alarm went off. Tilly and the pack slept through it all today. WOOT-WOOT! Progress, zen, tranquility! 

While editing, Tilly came over from her nap, she touched my leg gently, sat next to me and wagged her tail. I knew she was asking to go outside. WOW! This is a magnificent step toward her understanding that we go outside after we wake up from a nap. SHE ASKED TO GO OUT! It is time to Celebrate this! Tipper is lying with her now. I have hope and confidence that our pack will become cohesive.  I certainly did not this morning. I am grateful that we made it to this peaceful place today!

Manifest a magical day or more!

21 Day Meditation Challenge: Day 15

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!

21 Day Meditation Practice: Day `3

Photos by author

I felt drawn to see if the Mindfulness deck had some special words for us today. I was not disappointed. Grounding suggested that we create a room. What would it look like? What color is it painted? How does it make you feel? 

I have such a room. I call it my Spirit Room. It has artwork and pictures that my parents loved. It has horse tails from the herd that crossed the rainbow bridge. It has pictures of my children, because they help to ground me. This room started to take form many years ago. I have added to it and taken away items from it as it felt like I needed to move things around. One of the items that I love in this room is my semi round table. It once belonged to my mom. I bought it from her years ago. She borrowed it after she moved into a small apartment. When she crossed over, it found its way back to me. I am grateful that this table has a prominent spot in the Spirit Room. It brings up all kinds of emotions. Some wonderful, some that are not so beautiful. Those heavy emotions have taught me to let them go, so that I may ground myself in the positive, magical energy it offers. This room has supported me as I have healed from painful memories and losses. It will support me as I share about endless possibilities that appear while I am  living ‘In the Flow.’

I can hear my Tribe guiding me along the magical road to this adventure. I feel as though there are times when I am resistant to the idea, yet every time I feel a tad bit of that resistance, I am guided in a way that feels easy and peaceful. That calm energy draws me in. It is fine to do baby steps. Just keep moving forward. Dancing all the while!

The second card, Listening. What have people said about you that was kind? This card reminds me of the discussions we have here and the ones that have been in the Thrive in 25 Body Groove challenge. What do people thank you for? Those are your gifts. I bet putting these two together is an important part of living life, “In the Flow!” Do what feels good to your heart. Follow that, because that leads us on a magical journey. Will it all be unicorns and rainbows? Maybe, maybe not, but I think we live magically when we Are kind and living a life that brings us and others gratitude. 

I have been told that I am a good listener, problem solver and that I am patient. I am thanked for all of these things, too! WOW. I am grateful. What are you told that you are good at? What do people thank you for? 

The 3rd card is also a listening card. This one asks us to listen to our body. Yes, I love this card. I was taught to listen to my body by a counselor I can not locate. Her name was Elaine Thander. She worked with Mavis Karn and Joe Bailey at the time. They taught me to notice when my body was angry, scared, worried etc. as well as when I felt joy and happiness. I would say, that was when I started to experience a lot of magic in my life. I forget to listen or notice from time to time, but eventually I remember and feel that I am living a life that is very much, In the Flow. I am grateful for their teachings and for this card. 

I believe that more people need to learn how to follow this feeling. I believe it is how we will navigate a healthier life. It is a way to make better choices and to live a stronger healthier life. I count on it daily. Many times a day to remind me to eat healthy, drink plenty of water or tea, and to get some good exercise. 

Can you listen to your body? Do you trust it to lead you to a happier, healthier and stronger place? Baby Steps!

The Wisdom Oracle Deck called to me today. 2 cards popped right out of the deck. Yes, like the ones above, these are for the community that finds them. 

5. Orphaned. Before I read about it. I thought about this word. Being without a parent or leader came to mind. It brings up sadness, so I will feel this sadness. I will honor it and move on. Because the sadness is in my thoughts. It is not happening at this moment. I look around me and all I see are joyful things. Tilly is lying next to me on one side. Tipper is on the other side. My husband is sitting in his chair next to the fire. My tea is still hot and the words are coming to me quickly. 

While reading the message, I am touched. Essential meaning. A sense of loss; not fitting in; the need to belong; uncertainty about your place. OK, that rings a bit close to home for me. How about for you? 

Some takeaways from the Oracle Message: It is important to find where you fit in. Be true to your core truths and values. Know that you will find your place with others of like mind and spirit. Not everyone will understand you. It’s time to move on. 

WOW. We are so meant to belong. I think this is why we have so many clicks and gangs. People need to belong to a community. They want to fit in. I want to be part of a loving, kind, caring, listening community that trusts in their wisdom. I want to be with empathic people who celebrate, love, joy, hope and happiness. I let go of the narcissistic, negative, fear inducing beliefs that so many find comfortable. I let go of control, fear and jealousy for love, empathy and kindness. Mindful of how our energy is a magnet for more of what we give to others. I belong to a strong, healthy community. 

23. Peace. This is the perfect word to follow Orphan. When I read it, I knew it was the right card for the community. The picture of the dove carrying the branch for peace over the sphere led me to see the face in the sphere. I don’t always see the face in these cards that quickly. Finding it gave me peace, too! It was there, right in front of me to find. We need more peace in the world, yes, but more importantly, we need to feel this peace. For feeling at peace will attract more peace into our lives. Soak that feeling up. As though you are laying in a pool of water with your hands stretched out. Floating peacefully while watching the clouds drift by. That is the feeling this card led me to feel. What are you feeling?

Essential Meaning. Freedom from attachment; Radical acceptance. Oracle message. It doesn’t get any better than this. A quiet mind and a fulfilled heart. The way to peace is through radical acceptance. Everything in your world is exactly as it should be. Harmony is beautiful. Enjoy it. 

Well, that was unexpected. How do you feel about that message? I need to process it for a moment or two I think. I do believe in living in this moment, not in the past or the future. Yes, I forget and need to remind myself of that, but I do believe that what I have in this moment is what I have. I reminded my students when they were full of fear to ground themselves. To listen for 3 things. Look for 3 things, feel 3 things etc. This was a way to help them let go of the “STUFF” the were consumed by and I guess, “Radically Accept” the present moment. 

My favorite mantra is, ‘My life always works out. It always has and always will!’

Today, I washed up two of the toys I had been looking for to share with Tilly. She was so darn happy as she carried each one around and happily chewed on them. One at a time. She reminds me to live in the moment. Sleep when you need to sleep, cry if you're sad, listen to the world going on around you. 

This morning, before my eyes were open, I noticed her moving. She did not see me looking at her. She was quiet and calm. At peace with the world as everyone around her was asleep. When I said something to her, she jumped for joy. I could hear her say, “She is up, she is awake, we can play now!” 

Tilly lives in the flow. She lives in the moment. She brings us joy! May we all live such a magical and peaceful life

Breath, Relax, Allow

Last night in my vision or lucid dream, I saw a lioness. She was facing to the left and roaring before she faced forward. She was strong, brave and joyful. A brave heart. A lovely soul. I saw that she was talking to someone between roars. 

I see a person. A fairy, maybe? She is loving this person or fairly. Dipping her head and letting the fairy rub her ears. Much like my horses do when I am scratching them. She wants it right there… no there… She is kind and gentle. She knows she is powerful, but at this moment, she does not need to be powerful. 

Was there a reason for that vision that continued on today in this meditation? 

The message is to be like the lioness. Know when you need to roar. Know when it is time to be kind and loving. Know when you can ask for what you need. Feel the energy between them. Feel the power that each offers you as well as others. Be an inspiration like the lioness. Listen to that spirit animal often. 

Breath, relax, allow. 

Do you have any more questions?

This is a conversation. You can ask questions or you can sit quietly and listen to your heart beat or to the beat of the heart, like a drum tapping in the distance. Either works. 

I would like to thank you again for all that you do for us. I live a charmed and magical life. I am grateful for this life. I am grateful for my four legged friends and for my amazing hubby. Thank you for Tilly. I was not convinced that bringing a puppy into our home during the winter was a good idea, but it has been. Thank you for arranging her delivery. 

It is our pleasure. She is needed, as Debbra said, for your ‘In the Flow’ adventure. You will see. She has been prepared. She is a wise one and strong and determined. She learns fast and will keep you on your toes. Yes, but in a loving, joyful way. Dancing along with you as you go about your day She is already doing more for your soul than we anticipated. You are the one who is open to her magic, so it is bringing forth more magnificence than we'd had hoped for. Keep living in the zone. Be creative, happy and establish routines. Feeding her part of her meal while she was dancing around was so fun to watch. She figured out quickly that all that jumping was not getting her the food. She sat quietly for you so you would give her a treat, even though she was a very impatient puppy. Tipper is learning right alone with her. 

Thank you…. 

Breath, relax allow

Breath in for five, hold for 5, breathe out for five…. Do this at least 3 times. 

Oh my, I think I see Jesus on a cross.

The meditation ended. The alarm went off. 

Well, I have a lot to ponder. Jesus??? I am spiritual, but not religious so seeing Jesus was completely unexpected. I actually was in denial for a few moments, thinking something else must surely appear. 

Manifest a magical day or more!

21- Day Meditation Challenge: Day 10

 

23. Soul Satisfaction.  Discover your unique soul gifts! Gardening, singing, or writing! Ask your unicorn to help you discover your gifts. Affirmation.  'I am satisfied at a deep soul level.'

2. Pure Intention. Find clarity. Surrender your ego. Be clear about your intention! Ask your unicorn to guide you and impress you with the highest path choices. You have everything you need within. 

Affirmation.  'My unicorn lights up my path, and I walk it with integrity!' 

38. Unicorn portal. This one asks us to create a unicorn portal.  A place to meet with the unicorns. This is where they sprinkle us with love, light, blessings, or inspiration! 

Affirmation.  'I serve the unicorn kingdom.'

What a beautiful thought to have the unicorn help us to discover our soul gifts. If we had known what our soul gift was when we were little, do you think maybe our path would be different from what it is now? 

I do believe that my Angelic Team has been lighting up my path for ever. I suspect my unicorn herd has been too. I didn’t understand that they were there until recently. Though I know that horses have always been in my life for as long as I can remember, as have puppies and dogs. I have been talking to them and listening to them for as long as I can remember, too!

Being asked to open a portal and do a ceremonial meditation feels right. I have the perfect spot to do this in my Spirit Room. Not today, but soon.

My amazing husband looked for some new toys today for the newest member of our pack. She has sharp little teethies and needs to be distracted frequently. I love this toy, cause it is soft and not my blankets! She seems to approve, too!

She played and played with it until she fell asleep in Squirt's bed again. I should join her in a nap. 

She played and played with it until she fell asleep in Squirt's bed again. I should join her in a nap. 

Today’s Body Groove exercises did not happen. I took a pause for them, I did stretch my arm a lot and listened to the heartfelt discussion and meditation that Misty did. I was touched so much by it that I listened to it a second time. She talked about how so many of us do things for others instead of for ourselves. She said something that rang true for me. Others don’t care. Now, this wasn’t about friends or family, but in a way it could be. She decided to try out her theory that people don’t care, and that she didn’t care about what other people thought of her authentic self, by going to a crowded beach in Mexico to dance. She put on her earbuds, turned her music on and danced and danced and danced. Some people laughed at her, while for others she felt their joy from watching her. The important part of this exercise was that she realized that they really didn’t care about  her. She was free to be the best that she could be. She was in the flow and had fun with herself. 

She also had a wonderful meditation that guided us through loving ourselves in a deep way. I love, love, love how both of these challenges along with Tilly the Tiger or Tilly the Teddy Bear have been giving me so much direction in my life. I am grateful for the joyful dances, deep meditations and playfulness I am experiencing in a time where I may have been feeling fear, anxiety and worry instead. 

May you feel the magic as it surrounds you with confidence, protection and yes, joy. 

Manifest a magical day or more.

I didn't set the timer today. I meditated during the Body Grove discussion and decided that was perfect.

Heartfelt Gratitude: Playfulness and Curiosity

Photo by author

When I saw this seal playing with something on his nose, while the whale swam nearby, watching, I knew that I would be writing about playfulness and curiosity. Today, this Magic Glass image, is calling to me, to do just that. When I noticed the soul light connection between them, my heart heard this message from my angelic team. 'Playful energy connects to and creates curiosity within others.'

I know this is true for many in all kinds of situations. Children laughing and playing draws the attention of others. The connection is heartfelt and changes the energy of those who are nearby. We feel a little lighter and happier when we connect our hearts to playful souls.

My herd of horses draw me in, on a daily basis, when they are playing. They run, kick, and dance with each other for long periods of time, sometimes for hours. I feel them calling to me. Their soul energies draw me to them. Our soul light connection is so very strong, that I know when the play is commencing. I feel it in my heart. I am drawn to the window or to look at them from wherever I am. I am drawn away from the task at hand and pulled to watch their antics. A smile and a light hearted energy moves across my soul. I become curious, as the playfulness and fun continues. 

Can I bring this level of playfulness into my life? Can I dance with the herd, as they run, rear, play and dance in the air together? How can I join in? How can I stay safe? How can I be as playful as they can be? 

I connect to the whales watchful curiosity. Can he move as quickly. Can he balance the ball on his nose, too? Can I be a horse or a seal instead of a human or whale? How can I be me, but take on the energy of the horses or the playfulness of a seal, dancing in the sea? 

Today my heartfelt gratitude is for playfulness and curiosity. May we all become more curious, as we are lifted to a higher vibrational energy through playfulness. 

Are you curious when you see children or animals playing? 

Does a smile and a lighthearted energy move across your soul, when you are near playful souls? 

Do you connect to the whale's curious energy or to the seal's playful energy?

Manifest a magical day. 

 

Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 14

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? 

Manifest a magical day!

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?
