Pondering the Future

December 15th, 2010

New Years is coming up super fast and it’s gotten me thinking about where I would like to be at this time, one year from now.

What do I want to accomplish in 2011?

I’ve been thinking about doing tarot readings. I’ve become so familiar with my cards, and I communicate with them regularly, I thought, why not read for others?

I’m going to start by doing it by donation only, otherwise known as, “for free,” and by way of email, because frankly, I’m shy. I know I’ll get over that, but I think some real confidence in my reading ability will help.

So I’m going to take a step in the right direction and see where it will take me. I look forward to it taking me great places :)

Here’s the beginning of my list of new years resolutions, or rather my one year manifestation outlook.

Things I intend for the New Year in no particular order~

# Make a page and begin doing 3 card tarot readings~

# More homemade crafts. I have so much material already~

# Expand my morning Spiritual practice and focus on it more in my writing~

# Give up the behaviors I know are holding me back~

# I’d like to see my blog traffic triple~

# Be more organized~

# Make a habit of reading before bed~

# Be more disciplined with my garden this year and can more fresh food~

# Follow through on lists and plans and ideas~

# Practice stretching my psychic bone more~

# Reiki

So there it is, my list. I’m sure I’ll add on and rearrange between now and then, but this is a good start.

What are you intending for 2011?

Full Moon Group Meditation

September 21st, 2010

I feel a group abundance meditation coming on!!

Things are just going SO beautifully for me right now that I really want to share this wonderful energy I’m feeling. Last night while I was out taking my evening walk, the thought just popped into my head that, if I moved fast enough, I could get the word out and gather a group to do another group abundance meditation on the full moon.

The last two were huge successes! For myself and some others who emailed me stories of their manifestations and synchronicities. And others still who had so much success that they sent the most generous donations my way.

We’ve really created some beautifully abundant energy when I’ve hosted these meditations in the past, so I really hope you’ll join us and manifest your heart’s desires :)

The biggest issue in the past has been timing. So many people, so many time zones. Seems there’s no one time that can suit all, so I’ve hatched a plan.

I’m going to host THREE.

We end up with three days of full moon so I’m going to stay as close as I can to the full light and host on the evening of the first day, the middle of the second day, and then the morning of the third day. You can pick the most convenient time, or attend two or all three. It’s completely up to you!

The group meditations will take place on;

Wednesday September 22 @ 10:30 pm EDT ~
Thursday September 23 @ 2:30 pm EDT ~
Friday September 24 @ 10:00 am EDT~

The exact time of the full moon is Thursday September 23 @ 5:17 am so all these times fall as close to that time as possible, while using all three days.

There is nothing you must sign up for in order to participate, but I would love if you’d drop me a line with maybe your first name, location, and the area in your life where you seek abundance.

Remember, this isn’t just about money. This is about focusing upon increasing within our lives that which we want to increase. If you are focusing on money, awesome! But if you want health also or love or cars or beeswax(!) then throw it in the mix. This is a feel-good session for whatever you want to feel good about!

How to Participate

You can participate in whatever capacity you feel comfortable. Some of my witchier friends perform all out rituals. Some of my more Buddhist-esk friends simply sit in a love bubble and intend great fortune to anyone reaching out for it. Some of my more Law of Attraction oriented friends like to play with pictures on their vision boards intending their objects of focus into their own lives and the spirit of the object into the lives of those reaching out at that time.

There is no wrong way.

The point is, time and space are illusion. We are actually no further away from each other than we are from the clothes that rest against our skin. When you reach out with intention, you MUST connect to your intended destination. In our group focus, your intended destination will be everyone who may be reaching out to you. You will feel them. It’s quite a lovely sensation.

Some people feel nothing. That doesn’t mean it’s not working. Intention of thought is all reality IS, therefore whether your sensory perceptions are picking up the subtle energy or not, it’s there and happening. You can count on it. As a matter of fact, it works better and better the more you DO count on it :)

Here’s what I will be doing.

Half an hour or so before Wednesday and Thursday’s group meditation, I will be found soaking away all tension in my giant bathtub. Any time I really want to relax and focus, to the tub is where I go.

Then I will be found sitting cross legged on the floor in my bedroom (my sanctuary) at my altar, which is just a small collection of things gathered together that make me feel happy, centered, connected, and loved. I will light a special candle that I intend to use for all three meditations, and then I will clear my mind of clutter and focus on reaching out to everyone who’s reaching out to me and send great imaginary tidal waves of abundant and loving energy outward from my heart.

I intend to remain in meditation for 15 minutes. I’m going to use my free meditation timer and my very favorite of all time ambient background music, Zen and the Art of Relaxation for my bath AND during my meditation. It makes me feel so relaxed and peaceful.

I hope you’ll give a shout out and let me know you’re there. All email addresses are completely confidential always, as will be anything you write. But if you’re shy, I understand :)

I still hope I feel you there! I have so much I want to give you!!

I’ll Keep You in My Prayers

August 31st, 2010

How many times have I heard someone say that? Probably thousands.

I have to wonder though, just what are they doing when they are keeping me in their prayers. How do they hold me in their prayers. What image do I take in their mind as they pray for me?

It’s occurred to me recently that the image one holds in their mind as they pray is probably more important than the actual prayer itself.

After I read the book Mirror Therapy back in July, I began doing this meditation. It’s not something from the book, but it uses things I learned about in the book.

So if you ever hear me say that I will pray for you… this is what you’re signing up for.

The basic premise is, once I go into a relaxed state, I see my “soul mirror,” which I’ve constructed in my own imagination and is unique to only me. When I look in my soul mirror, I see my soul looking back at me. Basically my soul looks exactly like me, only perfect. Glowing. Beautiful. Untouched. Unharmed. Ageless. Angelic even.

I imagine my soul looking back at me with complete love and acceptance, smiling with warmth. I send love and light into my soul mirror and my soul radiates love and light back at me.

Now, I choose another person. Someone whom I am wanting to “pray” for. I see their soul looking back at me from their own unique soul mirror. Just like mine, their soul looks like the perfect, ageless, beautiful, angelic Being that they truly are. They are smiling out at me with the same warmth and love as in my mirror. I behold the image of their beauty and perfection and once again send love and light into their mirror, bathing them in love. I feel the same energy radiating from their souls back to me.

I have come to believe that when Jesus walked through towns and healed people, it was a variation of THIS prayer that he used.

I’ve heard some current day gurus philosophize that the reason Jesus could heal people in that way was because he didn’t see the malady. He saw only the pure, perfect child of God that is the reality, and therefore by the laws of consciousness, the lesser vibration of the diseased had to rise and meet that of the healer. He literally injected them with love, light, and complete faith in their well-being.

My grandmother was rather ill a while back and I said I’d pray for her. How could I do her any good at all by holding the image of an ailing person in my mind and begging for her health. The first thing that comes to mind is that, you should always hold the image of what you want to see in your mind. So right there has me seeing her healthy. The second thing is, I would never request her healing or regained health. Those are back-words for disease. I asked that she maintain her healthy balance and be vibrant and happy.

Only I didn’t ask. I didn’t see her perfection in her mirror and say, “Dear God, please bring my grandma her healthy balance and make her vibrant and healthy.”

If I said that, I would be praying to a God that is outside of me. The divinity is within.

Within the act of SEEING her as who she TRULY is…. her SOUL… and seeing her in that perfect state of Being, the request exists. Only it’s not even a request, because to request something implies the possibility of the lack of fulfillment, but in praying this way, I find that there IS no possibility of lack of fulfillment. That IS her soul. It IS perfect and whole and the total sum of all she has the potential to be. It already IS fulfilled.

I believe that seeing the souls of the people I pray for and knowing that what I see, literally already IS sure amps up the “faith” part of the equation.

When I pray for you, I do not see what you could potentially be or have. I see a representation of the divine force within you, and encourage you to recognize it for yourself by projecting love to it and helping it grow.

*How do you pray?
