Everyday Magick

June 12th, 2011

Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

When I was a kid, I lived with my Gram.  We would go to Sunday School early every Sunday morning.  At noon, when church got out, we crossed the street and went back home.  My other grandma (Gram’s daughter-My mom’s mom), and my aunt Phyllis would already be there, in the kitchen having started lunch.

Around 12:30 we would all sit down to Sunday Dinner.  By 1:30 everyone was asleep.  There’s nothing quite like a Sunday afternoon nap.  When we all woke up, usually an hour later, the rest of the afternoon was filled with reading, playing, gardening, etc.

Gram wouldn’t work on Sunday.  She didn’t fix anything or run anywhere.  We didn’t even go to a store on a Sunday.  A lot of the church folks would go for lunch at the local diner after church.  Not Gram.  Not ever.

I remember trying to get her to leave the dirty dishes in the sink and come play with me by saying, “But Gram, you’re not supposed to work on Sunday!  Dishes is work!  Come play!”

Sometimes it even worked.

She prayed a lot on Sunday.  Well, she prayed a lot, period.  So to say it was more on Sunday truly is saying something.

Today is Sunday.

Gram’s been gone for fourteen and a half years now, but every Sunday I still think of her.

Today I will clean-up in the sun room.  I am surrounded by nature in there and it is my most sacred space.  I am at peace there.  It is where I sit, now, as I write this, and where I spent most of my days.

I will bless and rearrange my altar.  Also in my sun room.

I will spend time in meditation.

I will spend time in my garden with earth on my hands.

I will take a walk outside.  A walk not intended for exercise.  A leisurely, moving appreciation for the divine nature of everything around me.

Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

We need a day of renewal.  We need a day of reconnection.  Sunday is the first day of the week.  Your week will ripple out from Sunday so why not begin refreshed and focused?

Happy Mother’s Day

May 8th, 2011

We’re off to a family picnic at the creek.

I hope all you Moms out there have a beautiful day.  May you be fully appreciated in all that you are.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Mother’s Day smells like sunshine and dirt
It looks like dandelions and clover
It feels like warm Earth beneath my feet
It tastes like nectar on my tongue
It sounds like laughter and love

Let There Be Cash

May 4th, 2011

I’ve been listening to the replays of the “Healing with the Masters” series that’s going on right now.  I’ve found some speakers to be very informative and others I didn’t even listen to the whole interview.  Everyone is at a different level and all one can do is take what’s relevant to you and leave the rest. Right?!

Well, last week they had Mahendra Kumar Trivedi.  I didn’t know who this was before listening, but through listening I have become completely enamored with this man.  I searched him on Youtube to find out more and found TONS.

He created a foundation to study himself.  They’ve currently conducted over four thousand scientific experiments on his abilities, and seen effects all the way down to molecular levels.  He’s literally changed DNA.

Now, I’m not a born skeptic as I’ve said before.  I WANT to believe.  But the things this man claims is so fantastic, it’s a little hard to swallow, even for a believer such as I.  Because I believe we ALL have the power of God built right into us, and I believe this because I see my own power multiply regularly, as per my intention for it to do so.

It helps me that Deepak Chopra likes him.  It’s easier to swallow when someone you truly respect, respects the person in question.

So anyway, Mr. Trivedi is doing these blessings.  Three of them on three different dates.  More on that here.  And the cost is $150.  I don’t want to be scammed, so I decide to see what my Angels think.

** I’d like to participate in the 3 blessings from Mr. Trivedi. Is it a good idea for me to do so? Is it conductive for my purpose? **

The four cards told me…

#1~ General theme ~ Gram is with me and guiding me here.

#2~ Possible Block ~ Focus on your divine purpose and stop being indecisive.

#3~ Angel Guidance ~ We’re acting for you if you will only ask.

#4~ Expected Outcome ~ “Archangel Raphael” I am a healer like you and am guiding you into your light.

So I’m thinking that’s a yes.  But still, it’s $150.  And on TOP of that, I’m wanting to manifest $275 to work with this woman that I just met.  That’s $425 extra, unaccounted for money to manifest.  But I’m not gonna look at the problem because it’s not MY problem.

I’m no longer indecisive.  I want to be a healer.

I journaled my card reading as I’ve been trying to make a habit of doing, and at the bottom of the entry, I added the following intention/request:

♥ Angels~ Please bring me the one hundred and fifty dollars so I may attend Mr. Trivedi’s three energy calls if it is what will help me to live my divine purpose. ♥

It’s been six days.  Every morning at some point, I find five minutes to stop, and center, and clear my mind, and then I ask, even though it’s more of a statement… “Make me a channel for divine healing” and I focus on the crown of my head and I feel like the hair there moves. LOL  I know there’s energy there.

Last night as I sat down to look over Eden’s bills for the month, I realized that the month of April was a five Friday month.  That’s an additional $400 that’s unclaimed and unaccounted for that I have to spend in the month of May.  If I throw just $25 on the pot, which I can totally swing, I have the amount of money I need to do the Trivedi calls AND to work with the woman I met.

Another synchronous point is that the calls are scheduled for 9:00 pm EDT.  As the Domestic Goddess in charge of Eden and all it’s inhabitants, I have had trouble participating in things because there are certain hours of my day that are just for my family, and these hours are often when most other people are finally free.  There really couldn’t be a more perfect time for me to participate than 9:00 pm.

So… looks like I’m signing up for everything!
