2. 10 of swords
A little scary isn't it? You have been through some trials this year! The 10 of swords shows me that its been rough and with 10 being the finale card for you, its time to move on. You've been resistant to it but your probably at your breaking point now to where you have no other choice but to move on. You may feel that you have fallen victim to others attacks but don't feel that way. Be grateful that their true colors have shown and you are now aware. Accept what you have been through and move on. People don't change but you can change who you surround yourself with. Don't make excuses for others or feel this is somehow your fault cause its not. See people for who they really are and let them go. You don't need people like that in your life for 2019.

3. The World
You are at the end of a cycle and it's coming in perfect timing for you. The world brings the old energy of 2018 to a close and you can totally welcome 2019 with open arms!

4. King of Cups
Take a deep breath. That is your mantra for those of you who pick this. For most of you who are picking this card, your probably running on a short fuse which tells me your probably easily triggered or agitated. The best thing you can do for yourself during those challenging times is this, " take a deep breath" The king of cups brings you energy to stay calm so you don't blow up and do something you'll regret later. The ego tends to make us reactive, but don't do that. TAKE A DEEP BREATH, REMAIN CALM. Why are you so agitated? Your drained and exhausted. Take a bath, go for walks and focus on self care.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all enjoy this beautiful FULL MOON we having arriving tomorrow!

                  Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

Full Moon in Cancer

December 22nd 2018

FULL MOON IN CANCER

What does this mean for you all?

            The full moon is an amazingly powerful time to harness your inner personal energy. Think of it as an energy accelerator and if you want to kick something in the butt, the best time is during the full moon as its really helps you release what you don't need. During a new moon it is ideal time to set goals and a full moon is the ideal time to let go of stuff so that you can make room for those goals to flourish.  Tomorrow we will welcome a powerful full moon to help us ring in 2019, for those of you who have had not such a great 2018 - you can empower your 2019 year by starting here, seriously. I live by the moon cycles and they have become a ritual for me every month. This last year, energy wise I was spread thin and neglected myself and did not make time for my moon rituals and I'll tell you, I feel the difference. 

What does the moon in Cancer mean for you?

              When you understand how something works, it makes that something much more meaningful and therefor much more powerful and likely to work for you. I've had clients ask me, 

" I did what you recommended but nothing happened. "

As you all know, I like to teach and so back to the drawing board I went to tape into my teacher energy to ask myself , how do I teach my craft and what am I missing. And I realized... I tell you guys yes the full is a great time to let go, but then I also realized, I didn't tell YOU WHY.

Every full moon has a different astrological sign attached to it. With that sign comes a specific energy and to harness the power of the full moon, you'll want to focus on that certain energy.  Cancers astrological are all about the "home" they are really home bodies, and because they live mostly in the shells, this is a really important focus for them.  What this means for you all today is that you need to focus on your home. 

Home is not a place, it's a feeling. 

           When you are writing out your fears, and negativeness, focus on what makes you feel out of sorts. What has stopped you this year from feeling at home where ever you are, because the root of your unhappiness is the lack of finding a home wither it be in your family, love life or career. 

What to focus on this full moon

• Grounding
• Finding your place in the world , Finding your home
• Nurturing and protective what you love

         Getting grounded is essential for you all before you enter the new year. What are you doing that is making you off kilter, or are you checked out for half of your time. Its time you stop those things that take away from you and get grounded. 

What does grounded mean? TO BE PRESENT.

          If you are not present in the here and now, you need to get present. You can't control your life and drive it in the direction you want if you are spending your days in lala land. Be presenting means being in the here and now. Feeling what is right in front of you and connecting to those who are right here. Don't dwell in the past or focus on the future. The past is done and gone, let it go. You can't go back, stop looking that way.  Forget about the future because you'll get to where you are going, the trick is to toss that wish in the sea and let it go. Be present and grasp opportunities that arise in front of you so that you can go to where you need to be. 

         Your place in the world is simply to be present. 

Be there. Be aware. We often check out mentally because we are tired, exhausted and drained.  When you are present, you will find your way in the world because you will be moved by things that matter to you. By being present in the here and now, you can create your home. You can find what makes you happy and what doesn't. You can pick and choose who is in your circle and ultimately you can create an environment that makes you happy - You can create your home. 

          How do you find a home when you feel lost. Figure out what is important to you. If you like nice things, fill your space with things you love. If you love connections with people, start writing off people who drain you and only allow people you love in your space. Are you someone who enjoys giving service, make time to do those things. If you've been doing things because you think they will make you happy but they don't, Stop doing it. Its not for you. 

Nurture and Protect

      Cancers are supportive, loving and protective, (if they like you) They tend to be really hard to get to know and seem rough on the outside, but once you get past that outer shell, they are super soft and loving and will protect those they love with utter fearlessness. You must do the same. Use the cancer's traits to help you train yourself for 2019. Nurture what you love and PROTECT IT.  If you have hopes, goals and dreams that you want, but there are negative people who are telling you it's not possible, then those people need to go.  You have to be ruthless in this sense that you will protect at all cost and those are on the attack, need to know, you will defend yourself and those you love. If you are timid. take the cancer's power and be firm. Cancers don't start fights, but they also don't back down. 

Action Steps to take now

        With a full moon in cancer, this is a time to address your insecurities and fears.  Your focus when writing out your release for this full moon is what makes you feel afraid. Why are you uncomfortable. Not sure if you felt that way, think back to 2018 and remember the times where you felt uncomfortable. What made you angry, sad and depressed or not good enough. Let those things go because your ready to step into your power and take 2019. Nothing is given to us, if you want something, you must go for it.

         Cancer energy is focused on the home and sense of feeling at home. On a physical level, clear your space today. Be it a drawer, your closet, your office, it doesn't matter- just make sure you clear a space where you spend most of your time. Let things go you no longer need because next year, you will be filling that space will nothing but good vibes. 

          If you don't want to do something these next few weeks - DON'T DO IT.  To plan ahead of time is to plan for success. Right now,  think about things you do not want to do and don't do them ;) 

           

    Last but not least... What are some things from your child hood that made you feel at home? Was it moms home made cookies? Was it spending time with family during the holiday season or if you were like me, growing up with really strict parents, every Saturday we had to do a thorough deep house cleaning. Although I don't enjoy cleaning, its one of those things that I remember doing as a child all the time and its what brings me back " home" so guess what I'm doing tomorrow ;)

The Hierophant

He is probably one of the most difficult cards many people have a hard time working with and after many years of working with him, and some recent life experiences, I THINK I GOT HIM FIGURED OUT.

I  use to see him and I would get turned off because what I saw was a strict religious way of being. But that is not the case today. When I looked up the word “ ORTHODOX” I realized, I don’t really know what that means. I know it has something to do with religion and so I looked the other way. I was raised in a very strict catholic environment and I use to question everything, the reason why I struggle with this card so much is because, this card is a symbol of following the methods that are presented before us because there’s already a formula.  Religion has a formula and this is how it is, there really is no room for you to go against the grain. I WENT AGAINST THE GRAIN.

I recently had a event in my life where I realized, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’m DOING. I NEED TO ATTEND MORE TRAINING ( this is non tarot related) I went on a business training and I learned a whole lot. I went from not knowing what to do, to walking about exactly with a training plan- I thought about how this experience can be applied and to be honest. ITS ALL AROUND US.

I didn’t pick up the tarot and make up my own rules. I followed my teachers and mentors and others who came before me who were masters at tarot.

This is what the hierophant is about. Education, following the methods and being apart of a group. NOT CREATING A GROUP, MAKING UP YOUR OWN EDUCATION OR CREATING YOUR OWN WAY. It’s about learning from those who know better then us. Its about following the orthodox which means to go with the majority of the group. If you have a group of people telling you the sky is blue and one person says its green, LISTEN TO THE GROUP. They know what they are talking about.

Many of you, who read this, will be like me, We like to march to the beat of our drum. The humbling experience comes from when we accept, we have no idea what we are doing. Maturity is accepting that you need to learn more and you seek further education. You can still march to the beat of your own drum, but first, learn how to play the drum.

When you see the Hierophant, don’t be afraid. Don’t get turn off, he is here to remind us four things.

1.    Get educated – learn more, seek out mentors and use what has been tried and true. Don’t go making up your own rules.

2.    Have a belief – Know what you need. It’s a must. If you don’t, how will know who to seek out for help.  An atheist is not going to go to a catholic priest for guidance. I knew I needed business training, I seeked one out – I didn’t go to a self help seminar, I made sure I went to a specific business seminar.

3.    Follow the rules – its been tried and proven to be effective by others, rules are there for a reason. Follow them, yes some rules are meant to be broken, but before you decide you want to break them, follow them. You don’t know until you try it.  Use these rules to help you formulate your foundation and mastery comes from your own need to break from convention. A greater baker learns the methods of baking and once they have mastered the skill and truly understand the rules of baking, they can tweak and make up their own recipes. You can’t change and perfect a method unless you understand it.

4.    Find your tribe – The hierophant is ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY AND GROUPS. A church is only a church is there are people present. The hierophant is only effective if he has fallowers. He is there to share his knowledge and can only share if he has people to share them with. You must find those who are in the same boat at you, you must connect with other like minds and find your tribe. We are not happy being alone, we are very social creatures even though we may be introverted. No one really truly loves being alone. Find your group, find your tribe, find people who can connect with and grow with.

Four of Cups : feeling dissatisfied

When we feel lost, we will often seek out spiritual guidance of some sort. Some people will pick up the phone and call 1-800 number to a psychic hot line hoping the answer they  seek will be there. Others will find a tarot reader and some people will just continue the path of unhappiness and continue to be lost because they don’t know where to start or they are unaware they are  in a rut.

Today, the 4 of cups is all about that. Being unhappy, feeling unfulfilled and not satisfied. How many of us are feeling like 2018 is coming to an end and we’ve accomplished nothing? I’ve gotten a few email’s recently about people wondering if next year will be better and why was 2018 so tough?

Think of it like this, 2018 was the year of the drought. 2019 will not be 100 percent great, but great things take time, and as we ease into the next year, be ready to find ways to deal with the drought.  What I mean is, you’ve been through a tough year, take your challenges and learn from them. What did you struggle with in 2018 that you can improve for 2019 now that you have been through it. The 4 of cups is all about you realizing your unhappy and then making strides to improve it.  Yes you’re unhappy, yes your unsatisfied. But do you know why?

 BECAUSE YOU ARENT MARCHING TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to the path of happiness and that is to follow your heart. You can’t follow someone’s formula because what works for them won’t work for you. We are designed differently and all have a different path to follow.  Someone can work in corporate America and find it very fulfilling while others enjoy volunteering at the local shelters. Find what works for you, and in 2019 – cut the bs, leave the excuses at the door and find a way to follow your heart. If it’s truly what you want, you will find a way to make it happen. NO BS.

            If you are full of excuses, you aren’t ready for 2019. So cut the nonsense today because this “new year, new me” mumbo jumbo is not what I’m about today. I’m talking about taking life by the reigns and doing things NOW, TODAY. Not next year.

So where do you start when you have no idea.

1.    Where is the most clutter. CLEAR IT. For me, its my purses. I have like 3 that I use all the time and they are ALL FULL OF JUNK. Guess what I’m doing today. Cleaning out all 3 and only wearing one.  Where we harbor the most clutter, holds the most negative energy. Where ever this space is, clear it, TODAY. The first thing you think of when reading this, is where you need to start. Don’t doubt it, just do it. It could be your car, your closet, your desk, your junk drawer, your fridge. Doesn’t matter. CLEAR IT. You don’t have to do multiple spaces, just pick one, right now. And clear it.

2.    What made you unhappy these last several months? Write down your problem, and find your solution. It’s very simple. It’s only complicated if you make it complicated and again, excuses only hurt you. If you’re ready for change, you’ll make it happen.

 

a.    Are you overworked? WORK LESS.

b.    Do you feel overweight? Change your diet. Stop with the sodas.

c.    Are you unhappy with your relationships? Start focusing on yourself.

d.    Do you feel unfilled in life? Do what you loved as a kid

e.    Are you having financial troubles? Pay of your lowest debt.

f.     Seeking love? Join an online dating site.

3.    Set Achievable Goals.

I did not wake up and decide that I wanted to be a millionaire in 2019 because come on, you have to be realistic. When you set unrealistic goals, its not that you can’t achieve them, but your ingrained belief system will block you.  I am a firm believer that you can get what you want, but YOU MUST BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT. So many of us fail at our goals because we don’t believe it.

Set 3 goals for yourself this year.

1.    Personal goal – my own personal goals is the read 3 books a month. One for fun, one for personal growth and one for business. This is what ignites my fire, I’m an avid reader and I enjoy it very much. You have to find out what you love and make time for it. NO EXCUSES. Do it for you not someone else. I could of said “plan a family trip” but that is for the WHOLE FAMILY not me. Focus on you and be selfish 100 percent! You have to fill your own cup before you can fills others.

2.    Financial. If you have debt, make a plan to pay off your smallest debt and make sure you stick with it. Small baby steps will lead you to success. It may seem overwhelming but start small. Savings, if you don’t save, set a plan. Put aside a few bucks here and there and watch your money slowly grow. Do you really need 5 cups of Starbucks a week? How about just 2 and you put the rest of the money in a jar? 

       So many of us have a terrible relationship to money because we see it as the root of evil but it’s not. Learn to love your money and your financial relationship with it, in 2019 your goal really should be to form a healthy relationship with your finances. When you pay your bills, send out the energy of gratitude and not negativity.  When I pay my credit card bill each month, I thank it. Thank you for giving me the credit to buy what I needed.

3.    Love or Career. Pick one and focus on it.  If you’re not happy, spend less time with it.  You don’t have to make drastic changes and leave the relationship or quit the job because if your still in an unhappy relationship at home or work, it’s because your not ready to leave. So what do you do?

Spend less time with it.

                        When its break or lunch time, go outside. Don’t take work home and if it’s that bad, call in sick. Take a break. No excuses. If you’re struggling with difficult coworkers, there are things you can do energetically to protect yourself, contact me and I can send you information on how to do this.

                        Unhappy relationship? Haven’t found love.  When you’re unhappy in a relationship, you’ve given to much of your own personal power to the relationship and your unhappy because you’re not feeling fulfilled. This is easy to remedy. Spend less time with your partner and more time doing you.  It is not your partner’s job to make YOU happy. It’s your job.

                        Need to find love – put yourself out there. I get people all the time who tell me they can’t find love and I ask, are you dating? And they often say no, they can’t find anyone. But let me tell you- if you don’t get out and make yourself available you can’t be found. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.  Are you out there and still can’t find love? Set higher standards. When you have low expectations, you will attract not the greatest of catches.

Happy Tuesday Friends, I hope you enjoyed this! Stick around for next weeks newsletter and hopefully that will be a crowd pleaser ;)

November Q and A

“ I  need direction in my life. Don’t know where I am heading in my career, personal life and spiritual life. What is my life purpose?”

            The first thing we need to address is what makes you unhappy. What do you not like? Start there. Figure out what makes you unhappy and then steer clear of it. Need direction? I can almost guarantee it’s because you’re doing things you don’t enjoy doing and so you’re digging yourself deeper in a hole.

You don’t need to know what you want to do, you just need to know what you don’t want to do so you can avoid it. By making this a conscious effort you open yourself up and make more room for other things to fall into place. You’ll eventually find your path but don’t rush the process. We live in a society now that expects instant results but we didn’t get here over night. It took time to get to where you are now and it’ll take time also to get you back on track.

Don’t rush the process or get frustrated. Enjoy the ride. This is a time for you to learn who you are and develop your talents and skills because you’ll avoid what doesn’t light you up.  I went through periods of trial and error in all things and I’ve mastered what I prefer, now I spend my time and energy giving to myself, 100 percent, to things that I enjoy. If it drains me or upsets me- I let it go.

What is your purpose – To be happy. SIMPLE. It’s not about curing world hunger or finding the cure for cancer. It’s about following your heart and doing what makes you happy.

             

"How do u get yourself out of the no-motivation-funk”

Laugh more and laugh often. Watch a comedy or even better, attend a comedy show.  You’re feeling a lack of motivation because your energy is stagnant and trapped,   laughter loosens the energy and gets it moving. Another way to get out of the funk is to be active and exercise- take hikes.  Many people think they lack direction so they get into a funk but the truth is when we lack motivation in life, it’s because we aren’t moving enough. Don’t believe me? Watch a comedy show and see how your body just vibrates. The laughter jolts you and you’ll wipe tears from your eyes and your chest will move heavily up and down.  Get a good laugh and wake up the next day and you’ll find you’re full of energy and motivated to take on the world. Ever wonder why we love comedies? It’s because it leaves us feeling good. We feel good because we’ve moved the stagnant energy.

Have you seen Crazy Rich Asians? The movie is super ridiculous but that’s why it’s so darn funny. It’s not supposed to make sense, it’s suppose to make you laugh and when I went to see it, I LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF.

“I'm wondering if you think 2019 will be a lighter year.”

          The year will be what we make it. We have total control. Even when things fall apart and life is stressful, how we proceed with it is what we make of it. I’m not sure if 2019 will be a fantastic year, as we may see things dip in the economy and natural disasters will continue to wreak havoc. I don’t think this is a response to any evil in the world but the natural order of things, as with the Wheel of Fortune card in tarot, what goes up, must come down. The world will experience a dip in 2019 but that’s ok, don’t let that rain on your parade. We can help the world by keeping our energies up and being more positive.

            You’ll find me more active in my tarot work for 2019 as I try to encourage you all to maintain good energies.           

“ I’m struggling with my family, The holidays are a challenging time and I did not enjoy Thanksgiving and I’m dreading Christmas. Why, what is the reason for all this?”

            If you’ve ever had a reading with me, you’ve heard me say, time and time again, “ we choose our parents, they don’t choose us.” And this is very firm belief I have because I’ve been shown time and time again, the reincarnation process. In the spiritual world, we meet a panel of spiritual guides. One of  the questions our guides will ask before we reincarnate is “ who do you want to be your parents” then they will show a slide show of potential candidates. And that is how we start the selection process.  I will also make a note that great parents aren’t born, they are created and part of the selection process is your job in your life time to help them become great people.  Not everyone is blessed with a perfect parent, we will also have terrible ones and something to consider is that maybe our lesson in this life time is to learn forgiveness. Do you have a parent that abandoned you or was absent in your life? Those kids are usually here to learn the lesson of resilience. You can apply this theory to any of your family members.  The family dynamic can often be a hard one because we are essentially tied to these people for life. It’s easy to cut off of a coworker but very difficult when it’s your own family member.

“I’m learning tarot, how can I pick a card that suits me best?”

1.    Look at every single card, all 78 of them and pick the one that you are drawn to most.  I am drawn to the hermit because he reminds me to go inwards and meditate or maybe I am drawn to the 9 of pentacles, she is a reflection of a very independent women and I can be highly successful.

2.    Take your birthdate and add your numbers. If it’s a double digit number, add the two numbers to reduce to a single digit. Take your MAJOR ARCANA CARDS and pull the corresponding number. For example if my birth month, day and year are added together and I get the number #22, I will add 2+2 =4 and I will pull the #4 major arcana card- the EMPEROR.  The emperor card will be linked to me because I share the same traits.  The emperor shows that I am a natural born leader and March to the beat of my own drum. 

“ I have so many negative people in my life, I feel like I’m always on guard, What do I do?”

            Negativity attracts more negativity and when you are around others who are like this, don’t feed into it as it can spread like wild fire. Walk away from gossip and avoid confrontation. If you don’t need to be near it, avoid it.  How it got there matters less then what to do after it. Moving forward:

1.    Practice healthy boundaries and with draw yourself. If something drains, let it go or don’t do it.

2.    Cut unhealthy cords. When you engage with negativity it forms an attachment to your aura, cut these cords. Learn how by reading this https://tarotbycyndee.blogspot.com/2014/10/energy-vampires-psychic-attacks-and.html.

3.    Recharge your batteries: this is very important. You have to recharge your batteries because as you know, being around negativity is very draining. In order to empower yourself, you’ll have to let it go and then do what you love to fulfill yourself and make yourself feel whole again.

Protection – when we start to eliminate negativity in our life, it will try to re-attach and sometimes it does so aggressively. People will get angrier, but stand firm and strong and let it go- do not engage. Cover yourself in a protection bubble and walk away. Again, you can learn how to do it here https://tarotbycyndee.blogspot.com/2014/10/energy-vampires-psychic-attacks-and.html

10 of Swords - Inevitable ending

10 of swords:

Looks scary doesn’t it.

On the one hand it’s a sigh of relief. Thank god that chapter is done. On the other hand it shows the challenges you have endured and you’re ready to let go and move on.

Each sword is a “stab in the back “ so to speak. It’s a challenging card, it shows us that you are now leaving behind a difficult time. One of the hardest things we do a human beings, is we remain in a bad situation to long out of comfort. We stay because we fear change and the end result is that we are beaten down at the end.

                Several years ago, this card became apparent in my life. I was working in a job that was draining the life out of me but I was afraid to leave. One day I was sitting at my desk and I decided… I’m not coming back. I gave notice and never returned. Best decision ever.

                I went through unemployment for 2 months where I started to get really concerned I would not be able to find work. I was terrified. How am I going to pay bills? And then I realized, those 2 months off were a blessing in disguise because I was so burnt out, I needed to rest. I needed 2 months to regain my power. I sat in my meditation corner at that time, ( my walk in closet lol) and Prayed and Prayed and asked my guides to please place me in my next career with something stable and will support me as I do my spiritual work. 6 Years later, to today, I am still doing this work.

I don’t know why this card pops up today but I felt the need to share it with you. You may need its message now. If your looking for a sign or some sort of support to let you know you are on the correct path and that you are where you are supposed to be, this is it.

This is not a fun card, It does  not bring feelings of  hope and butterflies and sunshine’s with rainbows.  AND THAT IS OK, sometimes in life, we experience dark times, this may be one of them for you.  Mourn the lost and let it go. Whatever it is that is draining the life out of you- let it go. It’s scary, yes, but… It’s time.

What I learned the hard way

Several years ago, I was really temperamental and did not have much patience for people who in my opinion, lacked common sense and I had a strong dislike for lazy people.  I was that person in the office that picked up everyone’s slack and resented them for it. I have evolved and matured since then and now I have more patience. I’ve stepped into my role as a mentor and teacher in the work place, because it is who I am naturally on a soul level, I just had to stop fighting it.  Instead of picking up slack now, I try to guide my team to do the work instead of doing it for them. This did not come easily overnight.  It took me a long time to mature as a person and along this journey I want to share with you some of the key things I learned along the way.

You are born with a special talent and skill.  It does not come naturally, you must learn to nurture and allow it the room to grow and mature. You have to train your mind, body and spirit for it. The challenges you experience will do just that. It will help you evolve as a person and leading you to become the best version of yourself.  The trick is not quitting when it gets rough.

My 5 tips for Persistence and Success

1.       Reality Check:  Sometimes we get so caught up in the drama and struggles that we forget to sit down and just breath. It is so easy to get drained and forget that our happiness is number one. We let others steal our power with out even realizing it. You have the power to control your own emotions and control how you choose to respond.

2.       Isolate and Target: What are your triggers? This 10 of swords is a card that shows real struggles. There are real challenges that are to be overcome.  How can you address a problem if you have no idea what it is? Is it a specific person, a task, or a lack of?  Find out what is draining your cup right now and make sure it does not take up all your time. The goal is reduce your stress so you can use your energy towards more meaningful things. I’m not saying avoid the issue- I’m saying give it less attention.

3.       Support team: You have to have support! Yes you can do it alone, but its going to be so much harder on you then it needs to be. WHY DO THAT TO YOURSELF. Create a network of people who make you feel good. Be around friends who motivate you. Watch things that make you happy. Listen to music that is uplifting and most importantly, have support so when you feel like your crashing, they will help you rest.

4.       Prayer. You don’t have to be religious to do pray. Pray, Pray, Pray and when you feel like you have nothing left, Pray some more. Pray is a wonderful way for you to set aside your ego and allow your spirit, to communicate with the universal spirit to help you through this time.  I grew up in a strict Catholic home and I didn’t have the best experience so I use to be anti-prayer. But… One day, I gave it a second try but this time, I did it how my spiritual team taught me to do it and I have  never been against it since then. Prayer works my friends. But you must believe in its power.

5.       Don’t give up. EVER. If your truly on the correct path and doing what you are suppose to, you will always feel this gentle nudge to keep going. During times where you are being tested to the max, you fill this gentle nudge to keep going. When you are off course you will know. Doors will close, things will not unfold as they should and you’ll just feel like something isn’t right. Trust your gut.

Sit in the discomfort

If I had to share any piece of advice today, this is the one that keeps coming to mind and it’s one I believe that will help shift your energy in a direction that is needed. We live in world where we don’t want to feel any discomfort. We don’t want to feel pain, anxiety , discomfort so what do we do? We distract ourselves with addictions and meaningless things. How many of us spend hours and hours binge watching Netflix, how many of us avoid looking at our bank accounts because we know we have over spent and how many of us get sucked into others drama because its better to focus on others issues then our own?

We’ll my friends, today is a wake up call. Today , I come to you all with a  message that it’s time we face our own bs and allow ourselves to feel the bs.  What is the number one thing that you are all avoiding right now? THAT IS THE DISCOMFORT YOU NEED TO FEEL. Allow your body to feel it, let it run it’s course and then its over. If you allow your self to feel it , it will run its course and it’s hold on you will be loosened.

How many of you want to manifest but you feel like you never get anywhere?

 You say to yourself “ it doesn’t work, I’ve tried. “

You know… It does work, and  yes, maybe you have tried, but I can guarantee that most of you have not tried it this way. For me, I learned at a young age how to manifest. I didn’t manifest magical, amazing experiences but instead, I brought to life, my anxieties. I attracted things that I tried very hard to avoid and one of the lessons that I learned along the way, that I never shared because it was so natural for me, was that to manifest amazing things and experience, we must learn to sit in our discomfort.

The avoidance of discomfort creates blockages.

 You want to manifest a 100 bucks but you can’t because you’re avoiding your debt because it’s uncomfortable. You’ve been misled to believe that if you “ see it, feel  it and want it” that it will come to be and when it doesn’t you think “ it doesn’t work” BUT IT DOES WORK. You just can’t avoid the GROWING PAINS OF MANIFESTING IT. That’s all it is. The discomfort we feel, they are growing pains. The bigger the pains the larger the rewards.  Don’t get me wrong, life does not have to be hard, but , we do need challenges so that we can learn to overcome our own bs so that we can reap the rewards.

Life is not going to hand you millions without you putting forth any effort. If that’s how the universe works then we wouldn’t be poor, we wouldn’t have suffering and you wouldn’t be here, still reading my newsletter!

Don’t believe me, try it.

1.       Set a small goal that is attainable.  First rule of thumb, you have to be passionate about it.  Pick a goal that lights you up. Don’t pick a goal that you don’t care for because you’re afraid of disappointment. An example is you want to lose weight. Choose to lose 10 pounds not 50.

2.       Create Action steps – Be active in your life, don’t sit and wait for the universe to answer your call because that’s just being lazy.  A great example would be if you wanted to lose weight. Your first action plan would be to create a food diary, figure out how many calories you’re currently consuming and then cut back the amount of calories you consume.

3.       Get uncomfortable. You have to be honest. If your going to lie to yourself about it, It wont work. You have to admit your faults, you have to face the very thing that makes you uncomfortable.  It could be your weight, your debt, your job,  it could be anything! Anxiety is a negative response your body has to things that make you uncomfortable.  Your stomach tightens, you begin to sweat or get anxious. What triggers those emotions in you? FEEL IT. Be present and let it sit there until it passes. Most discomfort will usually pass out of your system within 90 seconds. That’s it! That’s all you have to do, is sit and let it soak for 90 seconds and then it’s gone and your back to normal.

4.       Rinse and Repeat.  Continue this until the bad habits stop. Continue this until you manifest that small goal. Keep going and don’t give up. NO matter how uncomfortable or challenging this process gets, keep going. If you need support, don’t be afraid to reach out, I’ll be your cheerleader.

Meditation

If I could go back in time and do something different that would enhance my spiritual growth, what would it be?

MEDITATE.

              When I opened up spiritually several years ago, I was obnoxious about the meditation. I thought to myself “ ah, I’m OK. I don’t need to do that.”  I am older, more mature and I understand now, the importance of meditation.

              Great athletes don’t wake up one day and become great athletes. It takes time, practice and whole lot of trial and error. My own trial and errors has put me in this position to share with you today, if you are wanting to enhance your spirituality- focus less on the “stuff” and make more time quieting the mind. Why? You can’t get your guidance from your spiritual team if you don’t learn to recognize them.

You can buy a ton of tarot decks, add crystals, get energy cleansing done via REIKI, get readings done to figure out where you need to work on, and the list goes on and on. There is no spiritual highway trick to get you from zero to a hundred without a good foundation.  For those of you who are struggling with accuracy- that foundation is MEDITATION. I get tons of people asking me all the time, “Cyndee, how can I be more accurate?!” 

              My accuracy has nothing to do with “ me “  The reason why I can give my best work is because I have a spiritual team that I have learned to work with. (Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I can be be off but it could be due to many reasons, I try to decrease this from happening by being authentic and the only way I know how to do that is through mediation.  ) Just like athletes on a team, we all have to learn to work together.  During meditation, you’re not only learning to quiet the mind, but on an energetic level, you are learning to be on the same plane as your spiritual team. Didn’t know that did you! Our energy vibrates at a certain level, our spiritual guides vibrate at a MUCH HIGHER rate. If you both cannot come to a happy medium, your information will lack accuracy because you can’t process the information correctly.   The only way (and I am speaking from my own truth and experience) is through meditation. When we learn to sit still, we open and invite our guides in to our space. During this meeting, we calibrate with each other. The more often we do it, the better that calibration gets, the more accurate you become.

How to meditate:

1.       YOU HAVE TO WANT TO DO IT – if you don’t, you’ll make up reasons why you can’t. If you find you are making up excuses as to why you can’t meditate- then don’t do it.  On a soul level you are probably not ready and this could be a fear of the unknown. And that’s ok, when you are ready- save my email and revisit this!

2.       Find what works for you! There are different methods of meditation. Meditation is the process of learning to quiet the mind. If you find thoughts trickle in, that is ok, the purpose is to learn to acknowledge those thoughts and let them melt away. Any time you are engaged in an activity that allows your mind to relax- that is meditation! That’s easy right?

3.       Set a schedule: Use the same type of meditation, in the same place, at the same time – if you can. This will help your energy and body align with the universe.

4.       For the more avid- learn to sit still, in complete silence. YES! Total Silence.  I do this now 2-3 times a week. I don’t do this for accuracy. I find that this period in my life, I have a lot on my plate. The mind chatter never ends, between raising a young family, working full time job and having now 2 home business, I NEED TO MEDITATE. There is way too much floating around in my head, my quiet time is my time to process and delegate my thoughts. During my meditation I sit in silence to

a.       Chill out

b.      Categorize the chaos

c.       Get inspiration and Guidance for MYSELF (I do not meditate for my clients, I do it for myself! When I focus on myself, I can offer the best version of me for my clients!

              Long story short: You’ll start when you’re ready. Set a consistent schedule and pick a method of mediation that works for you. I can’t do all the work for you, you’ll have to play with a few different techniques to find what works for you. If you can I recommend you attend meditation classes in your area if they are available.

              If you need guidance and tips, Please feel to contact me! 

I’d be happy to help in anyway I can ;)
