Each night before I go to bed I consistently do a few things. I catch up on news, personal emails and before I turn in, I draw an Oracle Card and ask what it is I need to know, I then pray/meditate, visualize and talk to Spirit. I am not sure that catching up on news before bed is the best thing, with the disturbing things going on in the world that often provoke fear and worry, but it is often my only time of the day to get it done. That is why I draw an Oracle card, to find resolve and peace before I go to sleep. I end by meditating and talk to spirit/pray for resolve.
Last night, after a day of learning some big wrongs in the world, I drew a card from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron-Reid, “Co-Create” in protection (upside down). This card reminded me and talked about finding yourself in a slump to create, because you are trying to do it by yourself. The book states “Inspiration means the drawing in of Divine guidance. You must tap into Spirit, not simply yourself. Ask Spirit for inspiration. Two minds are greater than one, so co-create with your Divine partner. Reclaim your partnership with spirit. Inspiration will flow through you as soon as you get out of your own way.”
The card reminded me of the power of talking to spirit/prayer and meditation to counter my feelings from my day. I had listened to a seminar earlier in the day from Astrologer Deborah Silverman. One thing that caught my attention was hearing her talk about how being on earth is not normal for our souls. We are spirit first, living in a human body. We sometimes forget in all our humanness, we entered this body as a spirit, but as we developed our physical skills to survive on earth, we have forgotten who we really are. She emphasized the importance of connecting with spirit, our higher selves each day to inspire our daily living in the direction we want life to go. It is as important as eating & drinking water to survive. But most of us have forgotten we are spirit first which inspires and helps mold our lives. Although our existence is verified by our physical reality, I personally rely on my instincts to help motivate my actions and decision making. I see it as a cycle that feeds our existence, good and bad. I helps us to continue to explore, question and learn through experiences. Deborah Silverman was saying how important Prayer, connecting to spirit and mediating should be a part of our daily routine. I considered it a major component of existence. When we die, we shed this body and our spirit continues. While we are on this earth, it is easy to get distracted and grow away from the power spirit offers us in our daily lives. It feels to me like, some people are moving further and further away from their spiritual self and it seems to reflect in the world as chaos, imbalances, harmfulness and unhappiness. What I have learned over the past several year is, we can fall asleep, or we can wake up to our greatest strengths, ourselves, our spiritual selves!
Lastly, as I am provoked by some of the horrifying things going on in the world, I learn through alternative news sources. I am often times left feeling powerless and like a victim. But the truth is, I have a lot of powerful tools for change and that is through positive affirmations, visualization and rallying my spiritual partners and angels to come help. Some people may say, turn it over to God, having faith & using my spiritual tools are what that means to me. If only for a few minutes each day, you will be rewarded and inspired to do it more. This morning I did my usual daily visualization of a big red heart watching over the Earth. It pours white light over the earth nourishing all things in truth, balance, love and justice. I see white light beings locking hands surrounding the Earth. They join together as beacons, generating truth, balance, love and justice. I send extra white light to the evil people and activities in the world and ask for healing and positive change. I dream about what all these things I desire will look like. I ask the angels and spirits to convene on specific issues in the world to help heal and create what is best for humankind to each issue by adding truth, balance, love and justice. That is my spirit becoming active in my life.
If we can all remember that the power is within us for change and to turn our fear, victim, anger, frustration, etc. into what we would like instead though daily pray, conversation with spirit and meditation it can make a big difference. Part of our daily existence relies on us to take the time each day to send empowerment into the world through energy. I believe, how you think and feel empowers the energy of our world and formulates our reality each day. How have you spent the last 24 hrs mentally and emotionally? What have you ruminated about and what did you solve by doing so? Please take the time each day to pray/meditate, visualize, dream and talk to spirit. The angels and spirits are there and ready to assist you to co-create a better future. Send the energy we need to counter the victim, fear, anger, destruction and control at work in this world right now. Spend more time solving instead of cowering! Remember, our world is a reflection of ourselves and the only way to change it is to change the energy you put forth in the world. There is a reason one house will still be standing amongst the destruction of a housing development after a tornado! I have a friend who for years, prays daily and believes strongly in the power of God/Creator in her life. She is presently living at the bottom of a housing development where the land is shifting and moving all around her house. Her next door neighbors are not able to open/close doors, the ground is buckling in several places in the development, even at my friends house. But, every day she prays her house will be safe and they are unharmed. So far they have seen no destruction to their house, although the land behind, around and right up to the edge of the house in one spot is changing and a few houses in her development have been red tagged. Take your power and use it wisely my friends!
Peace and Love, Susan
