The Fool’s Journey

Every tarot reader has sometime in their learning has heard about the fools journey and how he starts his life by meeting different people and learning new lessons along the way – each of these events are depicted by the cards in the Major Arcana. My story today isn’t about how that story unfolds, if you’re interested in learning that story; that will be a topic for another day.

                Today is about how my experiences over a decade have unfolded the Fool in me and how I see the fool today. The journey and its revelations have evolved for me with time, practice and application. The more I work with the fool, the more I find myself learning. It never truly ends- the growth of learning. So how did I see the fool in my earlier years? When I first started learning tarot this card was very basic for me- “ It foretells a new journey, a new chapter, a new start. “ Over a decade later, now when I see the fool, I see possibilities, I see choices, I see the message to have faith.

To the core of this card :

-          Childhood like innocence- This energy is of one who has not been tainted by life’s hardship.  Those who pull this card will find that despite what is happening in their lives, they have faith that everything will be ok- they don’t expect bad things. Even if life is rough, there is this part of them that just feels “ it will be ok, tomorrow is a new day.”

-          Optimism- this card brings optimism. We are full of life and full of creative energy. We are excited and happy as can be. Whatever the situation is that brings about this reading is a positive one as it shows we have great energy. Life’s cup is half full.

-          Be open, Have faith- look at his body language- see how he opens his arms to the world as if to say “ HELLO WORLD!”

-          That little dog – what is he doing and why is he there? Is he joyous and excited to tread this journey with the fool? Or is he trying to warn the fool to watch where he is going because he is about to walk off a cliff? The dog is a symbol of our egos – it can either be a voice of reason or he can be our fears barking. How can you tell which one? How does it make you feel when you focus on this dog? Does he feel friendly, or scared?

-          Bright Yellow Card- Enlightenment, Optimism and Hope. I work a lot with the chakras and for me, this card reminds of the Solar Plexus- the seat of our power. To me, this is a very powerful card simply due to the sheer fact that there is so much energy- it’s as if to say “the fool may be foolish because he has much to learn but he is very powerful.

This card reminds me at the start of my tarot journey. I knew nothing. I remember thinking “my god, how will I ever learn all 78 cards?” Despite my fears and doubt I continued my studies. This card reminds me of how I had so much to learn. Over a decade ago I was foolish indeed. My understanding and interpretation of the tarot is very different today- it is much more evolved. I truly believe that the knowledge has always been there and I just had to take that leap of faith and jump off a cliff to expand my horizon. I took this power that was with in me, it’s within us all, and I took a leap of faith. I made a choice. The fool reminds us that we can choose to walk the path and focus on opening our arms to the great things out there or we can live in fear and do nothing.  Yes there are dangers ahead, we may walk off a cliff, but so what! Who knows what is on the other side?

How can this fool apply to you?

I believe everything happens for a reason and if you’re reading this now, you’re probably being called to evaluate your life- use the fool to help you proceed.  There are no accidents or coincidences.  See this card as opening a door to new opportunities and experiences. It arrives to signify that we are about to embark on a new journey or if you’re feeling stuck, it is encouraging you to have faith, leave what you know behind and start a new path.

                 

How to apply the power of the FOOL:

                This card reminds you that you are a powerful being and that you can control your life. Life doesn’t happen to you- you make it happen. By being proactive and making conscious choices to lead the life you want to live, you are tapping into the power of this card. The fool enters the world full of life and optimism. He doesn’t allow fear to hold him back, he just trust that the path is correct and he keeps going, even if he falls off a cliff he cannot see. The fool’s energy brings you opportunities and possibilities. Look how he opens his arms; SKIES THE LIMIT.

 His message for you “have faith and trust the journey or live in fear, the choice is yours”

Heed the Fools warning:

                Do things that feel good, don’t make choices out of fear. If it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it.  Cautioned yourself against your own arrogance, and don’t do things that are irresponsible.

Total Solar Eclipse

Total Solar Eclipse

August 21 2017

                Tomorrow is a very exciting day, it’s the first time in 38 years that we will be able to experience a total Solar eclipse. If you are ruled by the water (birth signs Scorpio, Pisces and Cancers) you may experience these shifts in energy the most. What most of you may not realize is that this Solar Eclipse will be happening during a new moon.  A new moon is a wonderful time to set some goals, with this one being on a Total Solar Eclipse- Don’t delay yourself. Set some powerful intentions and goals.

                As some of you may have noticed, chaos and upheaval seem to be prevalent now, but please, don’t let this negative energy discourage you from seeing the positive in everything and shining your own light. We cannot match negativity with more negativity. If you wish to change the world, it must start with you. As the next few months start to unfold, you may notice many challenges will seem to just land at your feet.  The Solar eclipse can bring chaos and change.  But this does not mean you are powerless, to be forewarned is to be prepared.

                Some things to remember:

                a. 2017 numerological is a #1 year. With this comes many new changes, a brand new start and total shift in energy. We are starting a new chapter.  We have already seen this significant change in the change of presidency for the US.  

                b. -Eclipse are rare- why? It only happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth are all aligned. Doesn’t happen very often. Usually 4-7 times a year we will experience a partial or annular eclipse. A total eclipse is even rarer, once in a life time.

 (Tomorrow we all get to experience a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE- these are rare and are the kings of eclipses. The last one was in 1979)

LUNAR ECLIPSE happens when the earth is in the center and the sun and moon are on opposite sides, these happen at night.

 SOLAR ECLIPSE happens when the moon is between the sun and earth. Spiritually, eclipses are SUPER POWERFUL. The energy is amplified. Don’t let this precious time go to waste.

c. Total Eclipse lands on a new moon Aug 21,2017.  What this means for you? Plant those precious seeds you wish to see come to fruit. Hopes, wishes and dreams are within reach if you believe! New moons are the perfect times to set intentions, goals and make a plan. Today is a the perfect day for you to write your story- how do you wish for your life to unfold these 6months? 

Some tips to re-focus your energy

With this super charged New moon/ Solar Eclipse arriving Monday, I wanted to share with you all some tips to help you shift your energy and make some healthy changes today for a happier you. Happiness is a choice and we all have the right to it, but we must accept that we are worthy and in control of it. It is not handed to us on a silver platter from the universe because we did a good deed. It is ours to take and it is our CHOICE. 

We must actively pursue happiness.         

1.       How do you perceive your reality? If you want something- Go get it! Nothing is standing in your way but yourself. We create our reality. If we perceive the glass half full or half empty- that is all on us. Not anyone else. If you think you can’t do something or you often use excuses such as “ I can’t, I never, It never happens for me, I am so unlucky, it doesn’t work, ect”   Come to terms with this and accept this part of your reality so you can make healthy changes. How you perceive your reality is what will come to be. Don’t think you can’t, THINK YOU WILL.

2.       What you say becomes your truth. Words are powerful, how you speak to others and to yourself will say a lot about your character. Be aware of how you speak and how others speak to you. Don’t allow others negativity to affect your own verbage. Ever notice when you hang out with people who cuss, you in turn will cuss? Or ever walk into a room where a group of people gossip? Use positive phrases and fill your life with positive quotes.

    3.       Re-write your story. We all have the power to control our destiny. It all begins with a choice. If you are unhappy with the current chapter, use this powerful solar eclipse to re-write your story. Forget about the past and what has happened or what was done. Move forward- how do you wish for your life to be in the next coming months.

    4.       Be amongst those who inspire you. You want to fill your life with people who inspire you. Have friends that elevate you. Be with family that are successful and high achievers and hang out with co-workers who are leaders. Who you allow in your personal space is a reflection on what your reality is. Birds of a feather, flock together.

If you have nothing but negativity and low achievers in your life, you will have a very hard time manifesting a better life, because I will be honest, people can and will weigh us down if we are not careful. I don’t mean you need to eliminate people from your life, but decrease your exposure to them. We all have family that is draining and of course you love them unconditionally but you don’t need to be with them all the time. Set healthy boundaries. If you don’t have a large social group, fill your life with positive role models.

5.       Change your routine- Live a little

This is the fun part. HAVE FUN. Do something different! Stop going to the same coffee shop, at the same time, every day. Live a little. Do something new. Let the universe guide you and wander. Those who get lost will find themselves.

Message of the week:

Message of the week:

Take a few minutes to get grounded. Take a few deep cleansing breaths and ask your guides what will be a great message you need to hear that will help you finish up your week. This message is for this upcoming weekend. Pick a card when your ready. 

1.       Emperor  Card – This card shows me you will benefit greatly by getting some things done this weekend. Mark off those to-do box’s you’ve been putting off. This weekend is not a weekend to relax or procrastinate. It’s a day to get to work! Do what you need to do. You can relax and have fun later, but use this pivotal moment in time to get to business and start doing those things you’ve been telling yourself you will do when you have more time.

2.       The Nine of Cups: CONGRATULATIONS! This is such a wonderful card you’ve chosen.  You’ve planted some great seeds and you’re going to get what you set out to get. This weekend, have fun, enjoy yourself and just trust that the universe is working vigorously to move things around for you. Today is a day to just LOVE LIFE. Be GRATEFUL and HAVE FUN.

3.       King of Earth:  Accept the opportunities presented to you this weekend with grace. Smile and say thank you. If someone invites you out to dinner, get out of your own rut and have dinner. The king of earth is a grounding card. It’s a card of support. The universe will bring people into your life this weekend that are here to support you. You may not feel like it but just trust that if they weren’t for you, they wouldn’t be here.

4.       Eight of Air : We all have ups and sometimes more downs. This card shows me that you have the potential to spend your weekend dwelling on the negative.  And I just want to tell you, that’s its ok! It’s ok to have a bad day. It’s ok to stay home this weekend and fume and get angry! Allow yourself permission to be who you need to be anger and frustration and all. But…… The secret here is to allow yourself to be negative this weekend and then let it go. Lock yourself up, scream and yell, CRY. Journal, Vent. Do what you need to do to get all that negative pent up energy out! Come Monday morning, Let it go. Smile, Laugh and be happy. We’re all human, we all have a vast vessel of emotions and it’s important we feel every inch of that vessel and not be guilty about it. There is nothing wrong with having a  bad day, it happens. The secret is letting yourself have a bad day and then let go.

Journey to a more Zenful life

                     2016 was a year where I learned how to be more present in my life. I really struggled for a moment in time where I was resentful, angry and had a  hard time of letting go of the past.  I struggled hard with a few coworkers, it ultimately taught me that if people are destined to be in our lives, they will stay. If they aren’t or if they complete their purpose, they will move on. That meant that every challenge I was faced with, I accepted it.

            My year came to end with a boss who was retiring, a coworker who threw me under the bus and accused me of things that she was actually guilty of and a different coworker who I had been struggling with for a very long time , we finally had a blow up.  A lot of these events that had unfolded left me feeling very angry and victimized. With my boss retiring, I felt like I really had no one in my corner and I was ready to call it quits and throw in the towel.

My angels gently kept telling me, “don’t quit, just let go.”

 This became a reminder for me each and every day, to just surrender. Let it go. If something upset me, I became aware and then I repeated my mantra “ just let go.” When past resentments came up, again, I practiced breathing and told myself “ Let go” It wasn’t easy, The process was a struggle but I am still here at this job today and I am much happier today.

 ( Oh yes, one of the coworkers has given notice shortly after and is no longer with us. As a thank you for being my greatest obstacle and challenge, I even gave her a going away gift )

How? I learned to stay in the present and I now have mastered the art of “letting shit go”

Today, Instead of struggling and getting upset, I remind myself, If it doesn’t work, let it go. I always ask myself, “ do I speak up? Or do I let it go?” How I decide which of the later I will do, is how it makes me feel. If one option leaves me feeling upset , I don’t do it. I totally follow the subtle emotions that guide me on a daily basis now. I don’t ignore them anymore and I sure as hell don’t allow myself to go home angry and upset because the work day is draining.

             I learned that I cannot control what goes on in the outside world. I can’t control how others are going to react. I learned that I cannot take others insecurities and frustrations on as my on.  And I learned the greatest lesson of them all, when someone puts a target on my back, it’s not because of anything I DID. The other person has their own issues and their own karma and my job is to just let that shit go. If I acknowledge their hatred towards me, I give them my power and life is too short for me to get upset, so let that shit go.  I’ve learned to accept to move on and if they don’t like me, that’s their problem. I live the golden rule and I treat others as I wish to be treated. I do my best to not send out any negative “Bullets” (thoughts) because I understand the repercussions.

         

           If you walk away with anything today, it is that- do not send out negative bullets.  People who wish you harm, that is their karma. Let it go. If you become aware of this, they cannot penetrate your aura. Their bad energy will return to them. You do not need to do anything in return. Let the universe handle it. This eye for an eye thing will only make the world go blind. I know it’s really hard, when you’ve been attacked to not want to retaliate or have some sense of justice but I promise you, the greater your struggle with this lesson, the bigger your reward will be when you overcome it. I never knew how much I struggled with this injustice until I had to face with it over half a year. This frustration and anger brewed with in me for so long that finally day, I just blew my gasket. I totally lost it. Part of me was so embarrassed that I had given so much of my energy to this drama and another part of me was really sadden and depressed that I had let my power go.  I woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to feel this way anymore and my story changed. The result of that journey is what you are reading now.

How we trap ourselves

Resentment: This is the key ingredient to unhappiness. This is the first step to unwillingness. Unwilling to accept what is, Unwillingness to make necessary changes, Unwillingness to accept our own actions.  Resentment contaminates who we are on a soul level. It prevents us from moving forward and letting go, it keeps us stuck.  When we live with resentment, it prevents us from being in the present moment and enjoy what is right in front of us.

If you find you have emotions of anger and hostility, the root cause could be in the past which is the home of resentment.

Complaining: This is playing the victim card. Don’t do it. If you hang out with people who like to complain, I suggest you start keeping your distance because their negativity will drain you.  Complaining drains you of your power. It gives away your ability to manifest a better outcome. Complaining will trap you, you will become stuck. Don’t do it.  Learn to avoid it all cost, your soul will thank you later.  When we complain, we are resisting what is. We are not accepting what the universe has handed us. We are not empowered to overcome obstacles designed to empower us.

Stress:  Stress arrives when we worry to much about the future. We don’t stop to appreciate the present moment, we are stuck in the now, but our minds are stuck in the future. This creates un necessary stress. When you focus on where you are RIGHT NOW, you can not stress. 

Anxiety: This is the fear of the unknown. Again, worrying about what hasn’t happened, thinking about what can happen. This causes so much anxiety because there are so many possibilities. Stop. Anxiety stems from our minds wanting to be in the future but our physical body is still in the present.  We are attempting to jump time, but we can’t – this causes our mind and body tension known as ANXIETY. Anxiety prevents us from living because we are trying to focus on the future. This creates unhappiness. Our souls is designed to live in the now, being present, Enjoying the moment. If you have anxiety, practice the mantra  “Carpe Diem” which translates to seize the day. Stop and smell the roses, become present and appreciate what is.

How I overcame these obstacles and started living a more Zenful Life

Let go of the past

My biggest challenge and greatest lesson for 2016, I learned, was I was very unforgiving. I have a memory of an elephant. If you burn me once, that’s it, I never forget.  This was my biggest obstacle. Learning to accept the problem as it is and not returning to what was.  My advice here is don’t try to relive the past or rationalize it. That was yesterday, let it go. Today is a new day.  Accept who you are right now and be you. Be present. Treat today as a brand new day and address the issue as it is.

DON’T GO IN CIRCLES WITH THE PAST.

Ego traps us into yesterday, It loses its power when we are present. Being present is uncomfortable for the ego, its quiet, its lonely but it is so healing. When we learn to quiet the ego, we learn what true inner peace is. It is a gift.

Surrender

Let go of control and just surrender. When you feel out of control or your full anxiety, surrender. Accept what you feel and just let yourself bath in it. If you’re angry, feel angry. If you’re sad feel sad. Accept what you’re feeling and let your body just be. Learn to surrender, when the outside world is bursting out of control, the only way for your internal environment to remain calm is to surrender.  

How do we surrender? “ let that shit go” Anything that makes you frustrated or uncomfortable, let that shit go. It is not running away from your problems, it’s allowing the universe to unfold as it should.

          It’s ok to be upset, It’s ok to be lazy, It’s ok to lack motivation. The secret is that once you allow yourself to accept these emotions ( surrender) , you will soon be able to come out of it. It’s when we deny it, that we make ourselves feel bad for doing it.  We turn this negative emotion into resentment and we start to play the blame game.

                    Learn to surrender yourself. Your true power lies in learning to let that shit go.

       After a hard day at work, It was really hard for me to let shit go, I would lay in bed , not wanting to do anything, telling myself, I need to get up and do something because I was ashamed that I let work drain me so much.  What I learned from this internal battle was that the more I felt bad for feeling how I felt, the more drained I felt. I never allowed myself to just sit and be angry.  I didn’t allow myself to have a good cry because I felt weak. But to be honest, it is so empowering to sit with the discomfort and just be.  When I let myself be angry,  sad or depressed, my soul found its power. I didn’t like how it made me feel, so I decided in those moments,

 “ I’m going to make a change, One day I got tired of feeling that way so I changed”

Final words of wisdom

Awareness of us not being present is a huge step. Feeling every emotion at the current moment is very empowering. Don’t run or hide. Don’t try to find distractions in alcohol, drugs, sex or any other activity hoping to numb the discomfort.  Challenges are designed to awaken us. If we don’t heed the calling, we go into a deeper sleep. Denial, Depression, Unhappiness are signs of denial.

By being conscious and present, we grow in power. Tapping into how you feel presently and allowing yourself to bath in it, creates magic. 

We can only learn the lessons we need to empower us in the present. 

Don’t live in yesterday or wait for tomorrow.

Learn to live today and be present.

 If anything rocks your calmness, let that shit go.

Bath in the discomfort and welcome the blessing.

Our Spiritual Highway - The Crown Chakra

Crown Chakra

I began opening my crown chakra in 2014 and during this period  I had the greatest amount of growth and through its inspiration- I launched Tarot by Cyndee. It wasn’t something that happened over night, it did take a few months and for others I have heard it can happen over night and some it took years.  For me,  it was a matter of when I was ready. I would start to open, and odd things began to happen that terrified me and I shut back down.  During these scary moments for me, I was slowly introduced to Arch Angel Zadkiel, he would come to me during my meditations but I had no idea who he was at that time. The more he came around, the more I began to recognize his energy.

            Our crown chakra is our connection to source. I was able to open this chakra many years ago through some interesting techniques that I will teach you later on this blog.  When it is open and balanced we are compassionate, non-judgmental and free of negativity.  We are in tuned with the universe so we feel its divine connection and trust its course. Those who are spiritually connected will often say “ I trust the process” because they understand there is a higher power at play and in every experience there is a reason.

            The Crown Chakra floats above our heads, Some people have this misconception that its laying on top of our heads.  If you ever see me talk about the crown chakra, it’s rare that I ever touch the top of my head, it’s usually waving about 2-3 inches above where it’s floating.  It is beautiful in color, it’s this pretty iridescent purple with sparkles of clear gold.  It can be quite large, it’s like a big lotus flower with petals that bloom over the size of your head and creates this lotus crown.  Of all the chakras, this is the only that I have seen as a “true flower”

A Closed Crown Chakra:

            About the size of a tangerine, it will ball up into a small ball.  It becomes this dark solid purple ball. It does not move. It just sits there.  How to identify a closed Crown Chakra

-Close minded: You are not open to others opinions or have a hard time understanding others point of view.   You get what some call “ tunnel vision” its your way or now way.

-Obnoxious personality, You know every thing, your always right and you can never be wrong. Its other people and not you.

-Depression – a closed connection to spirit leaves us feeling alone.

-Head aches – that ball of energy tenses to stay closed when it truth it needs to be open, this force that keeps it closed causes migraines and headaches.  Headaches in the back of the neck and on top of your head or your temples are signs.

-Materialism is a great sign that the chakra is closed. Those who are concerned with earthly items are not centered.  There is something lacking in their hearts so they try to fill the void with “ things” They don’t have the connection to source that gives them meaning, so they try to find that connection by buying things.  IT’T OK TO WANT TO HAVE THINGS AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A WELL BALANCED LIFE.  IF YOU WORK HARD, REMEMBER TO PLAY EVEN HARDER. WE AREN’T HERE TO WORK OURSELVES TO DEATH.

An Open Crown Chakra

-          Your head feels light and airy.  Your thoughts are clear and your memory is phenomenal!  People will often comment on how great your memory is. Children with wonderful memory retention is because their crown chakras are nice and open.

-           Intelligence is also a sign of an open chakra – where do you think all that knowledge comes from? The universe of course!

-          Trust in the process. There is this unwavering trust that it will all be ok.

-          Lack  of worry – not to say that we don’t worry, but for those who have an open crown chakra, their intensity of worry will be less. Yes it’s a concern but its not so big that they lose sleep, this is because they have this trust that this is all about the process and it will be ok.

-          Lack of judgement – again, there is a trust factor. You may not like what someone is doing, but you trust that this is THEIR PROCESS.

-          Chakra will be open and rotating. The chakra will bloom and its petals will expand and open. In the center of the bloom will be a crystal that is very clear and shiny. This is the location for the energy of the PITUATARY GLAND.  (THE PINEAL GLAND which is different- Is connected to the third eye chakra. ) The Pituitary gland is called the “ Master Gland” and is the controller of all things in the body.  ( didn’t know that did you!)

-           

How to balance your chakra:

I discovered this process while working with Arch Angel Zadkiel. Many of you will who work with St.Germain, this is naturally your angel at birth.  These two wonderful spiritual entities work with what we call the “ Violet Flame” More about this another time.

           Zadkiel is the angel of the “7^th ray” – the 7^th chakra. When working with him, you will find you will have great memory. He helps us develop confidence and form healthy relationships- he gives us the confidence to trust.  When you are ready to open your 7^th chakra, he will help you “attune” using meditation.  Some of you will notice during your meditations that I will mention below, that you will feel surrounded in “purple” or your bathing in purple.  Zadkiel will engulf us during our meditation, just like Michael shields us in his blue light for protection,  in “ Violet Flame” that will transmute the energy in our auras.  He has taught me the only way to open your 7^th chakra is through meditation.

A. Meditation:  The crown chakra is a quiet chakra. Its energy is charged during periods of stillness and quiet.  And I mean, complete rest. Sitting still and being still.

B. -Binaural Beats :  specific sounds will help you get into a trance and relax your mind so you can enter a meditative state that will allow you to tap into the chakras for heightened abilities.  I use to listen to specific sounds that you can find on youtube.com I would follow the guidance of my guides and asked them what type of meditation do I need today.  I advise you all to do the same, go with where you are being pulled because some of you will need more of one then the other. 

 C. Crystals : I love crystals and I work with them all the time, but when it came time to focus on my crown chakra I specifically used

1. Moonstone a stone of intuition and insight,

2. Rainbow Fluorite – helps us calm the chatter so we can meditate , it also encourages development of psychic abilities.

3. Amethyst + Selenite  - Amethyst is a wonderful healer and will protect you from unwanted energies. This is a wonderful crystal for spiritual development on any level. Selenite is one of my favorites! It is a wonderful crystal that helps your draw a bridge that connects you to the angelic realm. I love this combination because its both soothing and relieving. When in meditation, this magical combination just takes all my stress and worries away.

           My regime once upon a time ( once its activated, you don’t need to redo the full steps, from time to time you will need “re-freshers”)  5 am Quiet Meditation 15 minutes before my day starts.  I eventually worked my way up to 30 minutes of quiet meditation. I would hold my crystals during this time.

           Evenings- I would ask my guide: Listen to 20 – 30 minutes of either

a.      Beta Wave Binural Beat :  This helps destress, and relaxes so you can enter a meditative state

b.      Theta Wave Binural Beat: this is a trance like sound that will help pull you into a deep meditation. Shaman’s and Buddhist often use this wave length during their meditative trances.

           Between alternating of the two, this is how I began my process of opening my crown chakra. The crowns chakra as I mentioned, closed is a tight ball. The Pituitary gland is in the center of this ball. During quiet meditation I was building roads and paths to connect to the universe, my spiritual guides where my taxi drivers.  When I was ready, My spiritual guides would show me which roads to take, the Beta or Theta waves. During this binaural wave meditations something really fascinating happened – I started to feel pressure in my head, this was my chakra expanding and releasing tension. I later on began to feel and hear “crackling noises” this was my chakra 1. Opening and 2. The pituitary gland shedding its protective layer.

And that my friends is how I opened my crown chakra. I also want to note, that you cannot run ahead and skip to your crown chakra.  As I mentioned, the Pituitary gland is the Master Gland. In order to open it, you must balance all your other chakras. If you decide to run head and skip the others, you may find yourself years later, still working on your crown chakra.

Soul Mate Connection and The Real Reason it hurts

You, Never Forget

                You meet someone, there is this instant connection and you connect on such a deep level, you don’t know it’s special. It just so magnetic and natural as if you’ve known each other before. You’re drawn like a moth to light. It just happens. That instant connection, that flick of flare, that beat that makes your heart skip, that’s a soul mate connection. The love of your life so to speak.  It’s also that terrible heart ache that rocks your world to the core. It’s that devastating blow to your world where you can’t speak, you can’t sleep and overall you just lose your sense of time. Nothing else matters. That terrible heart ache you never thought would end. Those endless nights you lay there awake, not able to sleep because you’re so overwhelmed by grief, it truly is a terrible loss.  It hurts, really, really , really hurts.

                I really loved the movie the Note Book. It’s one of my favorites.  Not because it was this cute love story, but because of its accurate portrayal of soulmates.   A boy falls in love and he never forgets. He gets older, but he never truly forgot her. He was lucky because in the end, he gets her back- but I have to say this isn’t always the case in real life.  And that’s ok! Soul mates, I hate to burst your bubble, but sometimes, (most of the time, ) you’re not supposed to live happily ever after! Everything has its cycle, and you get some and you lose some. Soul mates are no different, as a matter of fact, my angels have taught me, not only through my own life experiences, but for the clients I have read for, that soul mates come into a time in our lives when we are ready, they break our hearts so we can heal. When our hearts are broken, we can pick up the pieces and rebuild.

The cracking of our hearts is an amazing experiencing, that yes, hurts like hell. But it’s also amazingly healing because when it is broken, we are totally vulnerable and open .  They leave us during this period of heartache alone because on a soul level, we need to heal in solitude so we can build strength.  Sometimes the lost is so great, we can’t see the truth behind the pain. Once the air clears, we really do walk away from that relationship a better version of ourselves. That heart ache brings us life. It breaks our hearts and it makes us “feel” again.  No one wants to have their heart broken, but, how can we know how much we truly loved if we never experienced the lost.

I deliberately picked the Lovers and the World card, for my blog post today. I did this because I believe these two cards are a great way to show a soulmate connection. The lovers card can be mis-leading, although it says “ lovers” its not really about romance. Its about us coming to a decision in our lives and we are being asked to decide- and this card reminds us to follow our hearts and choose what we love and what will make us happy. When we re-incarnate, we actually choose our soul mate connections. We get together with our spiritual team and we ask what lessons can be learned and what experienced will help enlighten us. 

                You and your soul mate actually decided together- to have this connection in this life! Yes, it was no accident- it didn’t just happen and fate didn’t just align. You two came together and decided on a soul level, that you loved each other so much, that you would  do what was needed to help each other grow, even if it means hurting them like hell.  It is after all, for the greater good- like I said, you may not get it right now, but trust me ; it all happens for a reason.

                The World card is all about learning the lessons we are destined to learn and then restarting the cycle because we have a new lesson to learn.  You will find that you will often repeat soul mate connections. Not because the lesson didn’t get taught, but because you learned one lesson and its time to learn the next. Because of this, you never really forget. You can forgive and heal, but you never forget. Just as the world go rounds and round, so does your soulmate connections. It’s not a never ending cycle, don’t look at it like that. It’s more of an evolution cycle. Each time you end one chapter, you start a new one with new lessons for growth. One day You’ll complete your book, but that probably won’t be today.

Are you in need of healing?

Are you still broken from a previous love affair? Did the love of your life leave you broken and unable to heal? Maybe this is why you are so drawn to reading my work. Maybe you’ll find some comfort and learn something today. I don’t believe in accidents. I believe in synchronicity. I believe you came across my work at the perfect time for your soul. You have a fragile heart that is in need of deep healing and I’m happy to say that you can experience great healing today with the Full Moon we are experiencing at this very moment.

                No other card in the Tarot can symbolized this healing time more accurately that then the 8 of Cups.  There are many cards in the tarot that can symbolize healing and letting go, but for me- the 8 of cups has always shown me a soul mate connection that is in the works. The 8 of cups depicts a full moon, and a man who walks away with a cane in his hand. He is moving upwards and away- this shows his healing journey is beginning and it won’t be easy climbing over those emotional mountains but he is ready and willing. He has cane that he uses to support his journey, this cane is symbolic of your spiritual team at your side aiding you in your healing.  The 8 cups are all sitting upright which shows emotional fulfillment and a desire to heal.  The full moon is a great symbol for healing and letting go. If you wish to release anything, the full is the perfect time. Imagine your heart full of heartache and you’re ready to release it. It also depicts a new moon which is a great symbol for manifesting.

                After we decide to heal and are ready to let go, we can manifest love again! Let go during the full moon, and make room for new love at the new moon! What do you need to do to heal? Absolutely nothing! If you can across this article, its because your spiritual team is guiding you to it, they are letting you know you ready to heal and they are helping you. If you see the full moon tonight, breath and let go. Open your heart, feel it expand with each deep breath. As you exhale, release all that once was. 

Soul Mate Facts:

#1 Instant Connection - What is the first sign of a soul mate connection?  You meet and its instant connection. It’s like magnets- You’re drawn to each other.  It feels like it was just meant to be.

#2 you’ve known each other in another life.  Yes this is true. If you don’t believe in reincarnation that is ok, but I am willing to bet that most of you who are reading this, believe that its true. We have all lived many life times before this one, and everyone in our lives now, have lived with us in another life but probably played a different role. When you reconnect with your soulmate- its as if you’ve known each other before, there is a familiarity you feel on an energetic level.  You’re very comfortable with each other because there is no fear there.  They’ve been in your space before so you’re familiar with their energy. You’re more open to them because of that connection.

#3 They aren’t destined to stay- contrary to popular belief, a soul mate connection doesn’t always end in happily ever after. If it did- what would be the life lesson in that? Yes we all deserve happiness and all the bells and whistles, but the soul mate contract isn’t for that. You will meet someone one day, who you will love whole heartedly and grow old with but that perfect someone is very different from your soul mate.  Your soul mate- is someone you made a deal with in another life. You two came together and agree, together,  that you would help each other learn and grow. This growth requires heart ache.  Your soul mate will connect with you, open your heart, and then upon their exit, will crack it wide open. This devastating heart break will crack open your heart,  and allow you room for growth and maturity to prepare you for your life partner, the person your  meant to fall in love with and grow old with.  Your soul mate will come do his job, and upon completion, he will move on. Just as you will do the same. They don’t hold on because they aren’t supposed to. They are supposed to get you ready for a very big part of your life.  Because of this, Soul mate connections are often short lived.  Although they are gone, you never forget.

#4  their job is to help us open our hearts. I know when you get your heart broken, it’s very difficult to understand how this can be healing, How can this really open your heart, when you feel so broken you just want to build a wall and protect yourself?  We are supposed to learn to love and to forgive and let go. Life is full of ebbs and flows. When we fall in love, and we hold on, fear holds us back. Its stops our souls growth. We are afraid to live because we fear heart ache. That’s why we make these soul contracts- our soul mate has taken on that burden and challenge of breaking your heart.  They agree to do it because they love you so much that they know the hurt will be followed by amazing healing.  It’s like having kids, you have to let them fall and get hurt so they can learn and be better people. Soul mate relationships are the same thing, they come into our lives, awaken us, show us that we can be amazingly happy and then they walk out- they need to walk out because if they don’t, you’ll never learn what it means to really forgive and let go.  

#5 there is healing in heart ache. It sounds crazy I know, but it’s true.  You don’t know how alive you are until you’ve felt reality hit. Love is amazing and it can sweep us off our feet and take our heads into the clouds. Its takes away from reality and life which isn’t healthy. We are supposed to be human and feel humanly things. It’s what keeps us grounded.  To experience pain and suffering is to learn compassion and forgiveness. How can you learn one without the other?  People who live in “ lala land”  are still going through a big life lesson and maybe they needed a break this life time so they hit the pause button. They aren’t ready to heal, so they don’t want to feel anything. We call them “crazy” but in truth behind that is pure denial which is a protection mechanism. Again, on a soul level, there is a lot of lessons to be learned.  Do not judge because what if that was you?  What if you experienced such heart ache that you were afraid to love again so you hid in the darkest corners of your mind?  Does that shed new light and compassion? Let me also ask you, would you have that type of compassion had you not experience the lost yourself?  If you did not experience heartache you would not understand the pain, nor would you have the compassion to understand.  Do you see now, how a heart ache can be healing?

# 6 WE HAVE MANY SOUL MATES!  Did I just ruin your perfect fairy tale? I hate to burst your bubble, but its true. We have many soul mates. The myth “there is only one perfect person for me” is false! If this were true, we would never be happy.  The truth is we have many soul mates for different phases of our lives.  Don’t worry if you think the one you were destined to be with forever, doesn’t work out- I promise you somewhere in your life, another perfect fit will come along.

My Energy Cleansing Tips!

The Basics : Energy cleanse can be done by anyone, at anytime!  There will be times where yes, you will need to hire someone to do it for you, but…. For the most part, You can totally do it yourself. It’s just like doing an oil change on your car. It’s easy, anyone can do it, but some prefer not to and rather pay the dealership to do it for them.

AURA CLEANSE

We all have an energetic field around our bodies. Our auras are like fluid magnets and things stick to them. Somethings stick more than others. Some things are yours, somethings belong to others. The more you have in your aura, the more heavy and dense it becomes which in a way – “wears your down” or “holds you back “

So what is it that sticks to the aura?   Negative thoughts, Negative comments, Negative actions, Psychic Attacks- Yes this happens.  Things that you get form others, and things you accumulate yourself, they all float in your aura, that is until you do a cleanse to clear it.

Signs your aura needs a cleanse: Feeling Tired, Fatigued, Cranky, Fearful, Jealous, Sickness,  Coughing, Sneezing. (Did you know that If you start sneezing, it’s a sign that something has entered your aura that shouldn’t be there? Yes, it can be allergies…. But is it allergy season?

Aura Cleanse! Salt Water Bath- its so easy and fun to do!

 

   What you'll need    

 - Bath Tub

 - Warm Water

 - 1 cup of Epsom  Salt

 - Candles and essential oils are optional 

                    

      If your feeling down, or just not right, or something just feels off- Trust you body as it could be telling you, You’ve accumulated stuff you don’t need and it’s time for cleansing bath. Don’t just take a bath just to take one, have the intention to take a bath to cleanse your aura. Do things with purpose with friends. You want to use about a cup of Epsom salt because it’s the right amount needed to be effective. Anything less than this- forget about it.  You will also then want to soak for 45 minutes, yes 45 minutes! Set your timer. Don’t rush this process. Why? Its takes 45 minutes for the salt bath to cycle through your aura to cleanse it. Depending on how heavy your aura is, you may need to repeat the bath several times.  After 45 minutes the aura has done its full cycle and your water is now full of “gunk”. It’s best to drain the water so it can go back into mother earth to be recycled.

My secret tip #1 – Intention!

                After your bath you should feel relaxed and often very sleepy. This is because your body just went through a lot of work to clear the junk. Allow yourself to take a nap or go to bed early, don’t fight it. Your body heals during sleep so it’s important you listen if you feel tired.        After you complete your cleanse, call on Arch Angel Michael to shield you by placing a protective bubble over your body to protect your aura- this will prevent anything that is not yours from re-attaching.  In general, this bubble is about the size of your arms spread out.  Ever feel like someone is in your space when they get to close? It’s because they are in your bubble- literally.  Its ok to step back and ask Arch Angel Michael to get them out of your bubble!

My secret tip #2 – Seal your Aura!

Energy Space CLEANSE

Cleansing the energy in your space- aka Sage Smudging

The act of burning sage to remove negative energy is not a new one, this is an ancient Native American tradition that has made its way to many different cultures. I was born and raised catholic, I remember growing up and attending Special evening mass, the priest would burn sage in a little metal ball and walk through out the church to “bless us” This is something the Catholic church still does. Most people are unaware of this but it’s true.  As a matter of Fact, we are coming up on Ash Wednesday! I’m pretty sure the church will be burning sage for this event. 

Let’s be clear about sage, there are many different types of sage. The one you want that will be most effective for cleansing your home is WHITE SAGE- (if you need something with an extra kick and a little bit extra Omph! Go for Mugwort. ) regular kitchen cooking, over the counter sage is ok- it will work, but you really want WHITE SAGE if you want to do it properly. I actually plant my own white sage, dry it and then bundle it for my own cleansing use.

My secret tip# 3 – Use White Sage

Signs you need to cleanse your space –

                                                               i.      If the house feels “dark” and the energy feels “heavy” or if there is a space or room you don’t like to enter, I recommend a good saging. This will help lift the negative energy from the space and make the space more inviting.

                                                             ii.      When ever you move into a new place- its good practice to sage before you move in to remove the previous home owners energy. This will truly make your space, your space!

                                                            iii.      There is an item you can’t get rid of or sale- your energy could be tied to this item which makes it hard to let go of. If you’re ready to let go of something but find it challenging, wave a little bit of sage over it and wish it well.

                                                           iv.      If you own a business- or any place with lots of energy going in and out- these areas will need to be cleansed often to keep the energy and mood light. The more people you have entering, the more  you’ll need to cleanse. Why? All those extra people going in and out of your business, they all have their own “ junk” when they come into your place of business, not only do they bring that junk with them, but they also leave a piece of it behind. Ever had to listen to a customer complain? Yup that energy totally sticks to the walls and under the cabinets.

Enery Cleanse - What do you do?

 Ingredients: 

 White Sage bundle - can be purchased online (Amazon, Etsy)

 -  I like to use my large Abalone shell- You can use also a metal or glass bowl -just make sure it is flame resistant

-Lighter and sand or salt to put out the fire when done.

 -Music that you enjoy

  First: Clean your space- Get rid of clutter, organize things, and vacuum or dust the                            area so its nice and clean.  If you smudge a messy space it is not as effective!

Two:  Play Music that you enjoy- listen to things that are soft or up beat. 

           Play jams that make you want to dance! It will help “jiggle out the old energy”

Three: Open a window! Even if it’s a small crack- You want to give the smudge smoke room              to carry away the negative energy. Don’t worry- when it gets released, mother earth                  picks it right back up and recycles it. The fairy’s love this stuff!

Four: Have your bowl ready, Say a Mini Prayer, and light your smudge stick- Start in one                   direction and go into a complete circle around that space. 

           I like to go from Right to Left- I usually have a compass and I find north and begin                  there.

My Mantra when I’m space clearing

“ Arch Angel Michael, please guide and protect me as I clear this space, Angels that be- please help remove any negative energy that no longer serves me, Please help me cleanse this space!”
