Day: February 19, 2017

December gave many opportunities for final awareness and wrap up of old lessons we’ve been working on for nine years (9 – the sacred number of completion).

As this new year begins to open up for us, I sense a feeling of Higher Consciousness and Higher Love. It is a year for trusting, allowing and giving in to the bigger picture.

Using the sacred tarot, we can extract meaning from the numbers of the New Year.

When you add the 2+0+1+7, it equals 10.

The 1 symbolizes the beginning of the new nine-year cycle. 1 is the unmanifested, unlimited power of the Universe encompassing all that’s good and all that’s bad depending on the interpretation. It is also the Magician who with the inspiration of the Divine can manifest whatever he/she sets intention to create.

The 0 is total trust in God/Goddess knowing that the hand of the Divine will guide safely. It is blind faith, the Fool’s journey. The Fool has come to this point after many trails.

The number 10 alone is the Wheel of Fortune. You never know what you are going to get, but if you let go and allow the Divine plan to unfold, all the right and important lessons will be experienced. Complacency is impossible within this vibration. Growth, a new phase of life, and changes are evident with every turn of the wheel. Hold your center and you will not be thrown off course.

Another important number in 2017 is the 17 alone. This is the Star vibration. She is also unpredictable, but holds very hopeful faith in the midst of difficulties. With your true heart’s knowing you will live in higher states of awareness which always includes love, magic and mystery. Signs will be presented leading you through the necessary steps to make your dreams come true.

And what about the 2 that we have been enjoying for 16 years? This is the High Priestess. She holds the balance between creation and destruction, the conscious mind and the unconscious mind where the secret patterns of destiny are contained. We will be working with this energy pattern on Earth for many more years to come.

Including the TEACHERS, HEALERS, HELPERS, and CARETAKERS

So many of us are blessed with natural and soulful care and concern for others. We spend our days shaping our lives around others. We find love and beauty in selflessness, but without including ourselves in this blessed nurturing, a consistent, full heart remains illusive. Such fullness is felt through service, the love of others, the blessings of others, the joys and sorrows, and the soul plans followed and those not followed. We are helping, loving, accepting and showing our deepest heartfelt understanding by holding space for other’s soul fulfillment. “What a beautiful thing!” You might say. True, it is. Service to others is the ultimate gift to Self. What happens though is an odd feeling of emptiness when we forget ourselves. When the person receiving the caretaking withdraws and detaches to experience their own sense of self, we find ourselves stunned with a gaping hole in our hearts remembering the need to find joy in ourselves, and our own energy. In the moment of disconnection from those we care for, creatures of habit that we are, we are not equipped with the focus needed for ourselves and we lack the necessary routine and rituals that accompany a healthy lifestyle. And you know, some of these people never withdraw. They are the needy type. This may be comforting at first, then exhausting because each one of us have a deep, inner calling to find our true soul center. Our soul center is the place where our spiritual heart feels contentment, peace, love, joy and passion. As we follow our soul plan, we feel the fulfillment in everything we do, even when it gets tough as we are still learning and growing here on Earth. It is necessary to love and care with boundaries that allow both the caretaker and the receiver to each have his or her own space for soul growth.

Here is a simple, but Golden Tip #1:

Imagine a Golden Chalice in the center of your heart. Know this Chalice must remain full at all times and with all kinds of love. Ask yourself if you are “topped off,” fill your Chalice up! Cute huh? Sounds like a fluid check at the service station! If you are not topped off, fill it! You can fill it one day at a time, one hour at a time, weekly, etc…. This depends on your need.

Knock Three Times, Tip #2:

Boundaries are good. Here is a way to hold loving boundaries where you too are included in the love. Ask yourself three times. Do I need to tend to this and be present here? If you get a yes after “knocking three times,” it’s a solid yes. For those of you who may be my age, remember Tony Orlando? “Knock three times on the ceiling…?” If you get a single no (or more) out of three, it’s a no. Let go.

A Wonderful Journaling Tip #3:

Get a journal that is solely for writing one message a day about what you did that day to recognize how wonderful you are. Use your senses. Feel your favorite things spiritually (knowing and seeing included), emotionally (Feel, feel, feel and it is all ok! Give that to yourself.), mentally (You are smart and interesting.), physically (Eat, jump, dance, stretch, take risks by touching, feeling, and experiencing.), egoically (You have talent. Be confident.), and soulfully (How do you serve others and yourself with what you enjoy?). Take notice of what you love in nature, music, people, movies, exercise, words….

Suffering is an option. Pain may be present at times, but it can be transmuted into Light by asking your Divine Self, your Higher Divine Guardians, the Ascended Masters to heal it and release it. Breathe into the Light to feel balance, peace, joy, love, gentleness, connection, tranquility, radiance, wisdom….Recognizing the Light is gathering your awareness into the present moment where all healing magic resides.

Empathy and compassion are generated toward the other or toward yourself by recognizing the suffering or pain. Sometimes it seems needless and other times necessary, but all is for learning and transformation. Pain is unavoidable in life. To understand pain is to appreciate pleasure. Capture one to capture the other.

Be aware of pain before it becomes suffering. Develop the skills to grab a hold of it before it grabs a hold of you.

I have found Reiki Energy healing work assists the receiver of a healing session and the practitioner to sensitize to be aware of the first trappings of pain as it is experienced. Level One Reiki begins this practice of becoming more sensitive and aware of the subtle happenings that manifest in the body whether it is emotional, mental, or physical while learning tools to bring Light frequencies in as protection from suffering. Level Two greatly increases this ability. Level Three/Four Master Teacher delves into the Mastery of release.

Your Spirit Heart resides deeply within your core essence. It knows the abundance of the Universe. You can find this essence as you remember the feelings of radiant connection you have experienced in your precious, innocent, childhood memories. Do you remember those expanded glowing moments when you felt one with the present moment? Take time to remember. Sit quietly and ask your Higher Self, “When was I aware of my Spiritual Heart and what did it feel like?” Bask in the memories. Fill yourself up. Ask to awaken the magnificence of Love with and around your heart center and share it so brightly out to others bypassing all resistance from your egoic personality. Awaken your vulnerable, Spiritual Heart. FEEL the joy, the warmth, the tenderness and excitement all in one. You are brilliance in physical form!

2016 vibrates with a “9” energy, the power of completion and the path of the Hermit. Does that mean you have to wear a hooded cloak and hide from everyone all year? Of course not! The Hermit symbolizes shutting off outer distractions to go within to find wholeness by uniting the material world with the spiritual. You may find more time to be introspective during your normal daily routines. Heal, focus, and find and accept your Highest Truth. Break down the old patterns to allow the the light of the new and you will be quite pleased with your process by the end of the year. 2008 began this journey and 2016 will finish it. Shine your light!
