New Moon In Libra

September 24, 2022September 24, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

The Full Moon in Libra is Sunday October 25 in the Northern Hemisphere. Libra is about aligning your inner beliefs with your outer world to create balance, fairness and harmony in relationships. Being your true self and expressing it. Having the courage to have honest conversations aligned with your heart (truth). There are influences that support the heart and spirit to align. So if you follow your heart, are motivated by love & divinely guided to do the right thing in your life, you will get where you want to be in life. Check mate for motives of co-dependency, judgement of others, manipulation & controlling others. Those are the dark side of the influence of Libra and this is a good time for them to be illuminated to heal & be let go. They can be the limiting qualities preventing us from having the relationships truly desired in life.

Fall Equinox in the N. hemisphere is a time when the length of daylight & nighttime are at a balance before days get shorter and nights longer. Spirits presence is magnified in your conscious awareness at the same time you are able to go deep into your unconscious. The light illuminates the darkness. This is an excellent time to evaluate what your inner most desires are in relationships with people and your world. It is a time to look at how those two align. Make a list and categorize what you “really” want your life to look like in relationships and day to day. Then note/categorize what your relationships are & what exists in your reality, your world. Next start to pay attention to your thoughts & emotional patterns & place them in the categories of desires vs. reality so you can be aware of the associations you have within yourself to each. Recognize what motivates you to take the actions or non-actions in your life. Is it fear, judgement or fear of being judged, thinking too far in the future, the need to know the outcomes, self-criticism, lack of worthiness, wounds from your past actions and their outcomes? This will give you a reality check of why things are the way they are in your life. Remember your outer world, your world realities are a direct reflection of what you belief inside yourself. Your inner beliefs are a mirror of your present world, acknowledge that. Journaling on a daily basis about what you are thinking and feeling also gives you something to look back over to recognize your patterns & life associations. Change can only come if you are honest about what you no longer want in your life and you take action to change.

In setting your intentions this month, know with Mercury in retrograde until early October & Mars is going into retrograde around the same time, our intentions will be slower to manifest. This gives us time to work on the issues we have that keep us from getting what we want or need in life so that we can create a truer outcome. Trust spirit to show you the way and read the signs presented. When you feel inspired to act toward your desires & truth resonates in your heart, have the courage to act. When you feel unsure, you need to keep focusing on what you want and resolve your conflict. It is very important to believe you deserve everything you desire. If you don’t, you need to know why and heal the beliefs that block you from having your desires or change course to authenticity. What you believe is who you are and what your world currently reflects back to you. Inner = Outter!

I want to share a story, today I called my vet office to request lab records for my dog before I went to pick up his prescription. When I called, I could tell that the receptionist was being bombarded with lots of calls as she didn’t answer the first attempt and then put me on hold the 2nd time, it seemed hectic. When I requested to have copies of the labs, she quickly replied “well I may not have them for you by the time you pick up the prescription.” I replied, “I understand, could you mail or e-mail them when you have time?” Because I really did understand, I could tell she was overwhelmed. She then replied very quickly, “well, I have your file right here and it’s not like you are asking me to copy the entire file, I’ll do it right now.” I was delighted and surprised by her sudden change. I truly believe she just needed some understanding & my reply created a shift in what she could and couldn’t do. My point is, we need to offer compassion to others. There are lots of moving parts in each of our lives & usually we only know a slice of another’s reality. When we offer compassion and understanding, we often have a better & more honest outcome.

Let’s draw a card: Today I am drawing from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. My question is what can everyone do to move closer to authenticity in their lives in relationships to self and their world? I drew “Not for you.” The essential meaning of this card from the book is: A clear knowing that something is being denied you. The book goes on to say, there are times that no matter how hard you work at something, the result you seek seems to elude you. This is a card to radically accept that not everything is available to you when you want it. There are forces who desire the best for you & have a much clearer idea of what is for your highest good. “Rejection is God’s protection.” Something much better that will make you happy is on it’s way. Sometimes the flags escape your observation or you refuse to acknowledge them. When a relationship is not meant to be, it is not possible to make it be. Think of rejection as protection from the Divine. I will leave you with the above message from the book to ponder, pay attention to what may have come into your awareness when you read this and ask to be guided to understand. Or decide if what you desire is truly what you want.

Self-Healing

September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Since I was in my mid-20’s I have been working on self-healing. It was the physical pain that caught my attention and the recognition I needed change to heal. I discovered Louise L. Hay very early in that journey. She focused on mental causes for pain & illness & how to change your thinking to heal as well as the importance of self-love. She published several books and did tireless work helping people to understand the mental patterns within themselves were the root cause of illness. She said through her own process, she learned she had to stop blaming people and circumstances outside herself for her own pain and misfortune. After all, your actions in life are motivated by how you think, feel and believe. Not only did she show people that repetitive negative thought patterns create pain and illness, but she also taught them use of positive affirmations to replace the negative patterns to heal.

As a young adult I started to have physical body pain and could never find a way to heal it. It was mostly neck, shoulders and back pain. When I discovered Louise L. Hay’s philosophy, I began looking at it in a different way. At times, my neck pain would become unbearable, before I would start to pay attention. At that point, it motivated me to listen to what I was telling myself & note when it would trigger the pain to understand coinciding affects I was manifesting. I was able to stop the pain by changing my thoughts to more positive beliefs and began to understand how I had created my pain. Depending on when you try to change course with your situation, you may have a web of thoughts, emotions & actions to change, but starting with recognizing your thoughts that trigger the symptoms begins the shift. You also have to commit to let go of the attachments that justify what you believe to be true to be able to make the shift. Sometimes that requires going inside yourself to process incidents, recognize where the thought originated & recognizing how this thought pattern serves your life presently. It takes commitment to change the way of thinking and believing to see results. When you constantly think negatively it triggers all kinds of things in the body physically, how you respond to situations and the actions you take or don’t take in your life that contribute to the problem. You may have done severe damage to yourself by a decision & acted on it in your past that creates your present reality. When you forgive yourself and change that within yourself, there can be healing.

I am sure you are not a stranger to the reality of stress on the body. Not only do you trigger body chemistry, but you trigger energy to continue to manifest this reality of pain/illness. You feed this reality for yourself and reconfirm it when it serves your beliefs. It is always good to recognize what it is you are getting out of your pain. How does it serve you in spite of the pain or illness. What would you prefer instead? Our body has a defense system to try to help us survive in flight or fight mode, but over time, our body falls to illness trying to sustain that lifestyle of stress. When I do energy balancing on people I can hear what their body tells me to help the person process what is stuck. It is a mutual dialogue between the person, their body & myself. People also receive communication from their body during the session as well and learn to do inner-self dialogue. Sometimes physical misalignments have to be physically corrected & you have to change to maintain the alignment.

Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” It is the same with energy as Shawn Leonard pointed out during a private seminar recently: “You can’t change the same level of energy with the same level of energy. Remember we are all spirit, just living a human experience.” To make true change, you have to let go and aspire to a higher consciousness of unconditional love of self and others. Let go of blame, anger, helplessness, etc. Take responsibility for your part in situations that play out in your life. On some level, there is some responsibility you can grasp if you really open yourself to find it. Even if it is a just lack of knowing. Love yourself & love others for the good of all, because energy attracts energy. By making improvements with your own health, it helps to shift the energy to empower others to do the same. Remember, we are all connected & the new influence of your changed energy then exists for us all to become empowered, it has an affect. This is just another example of how we affect our environment by our actions and energy. It is sort of a human super power at our fingertips for the good of all!

The photo on this post is a reference guide by Louise L Hay for thoughts associated with different bodily conditions/illness that illustrates the thoughts & affirmations associated with several medical conditions. It is one of my first self-help books that I still use today and I am sure you can tell it is very used & dated. Thankfully I just reordered a new edition. Below I have given you a couple examples from the book:

Problem: Headache – Probable Cause: Invalidating the self. Self-criticism. Fear. – New Thought Pattern: I love and approve of myself. I see myself and what I do with eyes of love. I am safe.

Problem: Indigestion – Probable Cause: Gut level fear, dread, anxiety. Griping or grunting. – New Thought Pattern: I digest and assimilate all new experiences peacefully and joyously.

There are many healing resources available in this world to help with self-healing that are more organic and capable of producing real change. I am not one to turn to medication unless it is a situation of necessity, as I feel they are a mask and not the solution. I don’t condone medication and realize it is necessary in certain cases. But ultimately, I am after the root cause, not the passivity of a convenient relief, as ultimately you are pushing the problem deeper into the body moving toward a chronic, irreparable dis-ease. Sometimes medication can provide a temporary relief until you can heal yourself. But feeling the pain helps to undo the puzzle to figure out how you can balance the trigger/effect. These are my beliefs of course that I have used to navigate my life & health. I too am a student.

Let’s see what the cards say! I am using the “Oracle of the 7 Energies” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew is: “Wishing Upon a Star.” The essential meaning of this card is: Intentions based on your desires and aspirations, the act of consciously committing to a vision, sacrificing something of value, gambling on yourself, trusting that dreams can become reality, the importance of daydreams.” The book goes on to say, “Perhaps the point all along is not how something can happen, but the power of wishing and intending.” I say, this is all so important that no matter what gets you down in life, know there is a solution. If you intend for a solution, you will be so blown away by the magic from the universe when you open yourself with optimism to see the answers. We often let ourselves believe in disappointment & failure over the true belief in the power of optimism & success. You lose the race when you give up. Ask for help at this moment & believe. We have many thoughts and emotions that keep us from believing we can attain the end result of solutions. Recognize each and every one of those walls, tricks and patterns within yourself that try to prevent you from getting to your success & replace them with “I can, I will, I am.” Healing is like driving to a party with only the address & no directions in a unfamiliar place. You have to trust your instinct, stop to talk to people along the way to get advice and to look for land markers to know where to turn until you reach your destination. Having an end goal in sight, asking for help & trusting spirit to help when you are well intended and from a space of love, is true magic and should be a way of life to find your true path in life. Trust & give it a try with a loving heart!

Visiting Spirit in Dreams

September 13, 2022September 13, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

A few weeks ago I talked about mediumship and mentioned a dream I use to have when I napped during the day. In case you missed it, let me revisit. I would take a nap during the day and at some point I would feel like I was a awake, but know I wasn’t. There would be these people in the room with me that would flip my nose, poke me, etc. and the whole while I would feel paralyzed, unable to move to get away from them until I would finally wake up.

I have been listening to some free seminars by Shawn Leonard the Indigenous Medium, who is promoting a year long course right now on how to get in touch with the spiritual realm. He talked about dreams yesterday. The above circumstances occur when you are having an astral dream. In Astral dreams, your soul leaves the body, but doesn’t completely disconnect and travels into the spiritual realm during sleep. He explained some times when you astral travel during your sleep, you start to wake up before your soul is back in your body. Spirits will come to help you get your spirit into your body so you can wake up. He explained, often times people will awake to a spiritual being pushing on their body and it is often interpreted as the being holding them down. In my case, the spirits were trying to get me to feel my body to get back into it fully. In either case you will feel paralyzed because you are not in your body fully, nor awake. It is nothing to be afraid of, but to allow the spirits to help so you can fully enter your body to wake up.

The Astral Dream itself, is where your soul leaves your body & enters the spirit realm where you can visit deceased people you know or unknown spirits in your dream. But the easy way to identify this type of dream is if there is a deceased person you know in them. This person never speaks in the dream, but delivers a message. I usually have dreams with a certain friend of mine, Penny who passed away over 20 yrs. ago & sometimes have dreams with my Grandmother I was closest to in them. They are usually informative or healing dreams for me. One series of dreams began shortly after my life-long friend Penny died. In this dream I would go through her death again, but then somehow she would come back to life and be living another life somewhere else & and I would encounter her. For a long time I couldn’t understand the message. But when I started to explore mediumship, I understood the dream was telling me that when you die, it isn’t the end, your spirit lives on and your life just changes. Now that I have understood this, we are meeting up in my dreams with different scenarios & processing issues we had together as children. Visiting her in my dreams has been very healing for me. And I believe it is also helping her spirit to heal while helping us both to raise our vibration and spiritual awareness.

Let’s see what the cards say about dreaming. What is it we all need to hear about dreams: Again, I used the Enchanted Map Oracle Card deck & drew the card: “Magic Stream.” The essential meaning of this card is “Everything is connected through the universal flow of consciousness.” How appropriate, right? I say, this card is about understanding your experiences are within a pool of the collective and to share them with others can be a great source of inspiration. Let go of feeling less than, intimidated or threatened by other’s greatness when they share it with you, because every person’s experience of greatness is meant to awaken or help you accept the greatness within yourself. They are mirroring to you the potential you have within yourself. You are encountering this person because your soul is calling you to awaken & hopefully to go on to inspire others to do the same. We are all made of energy and meant to evolve with one another to our true potential on this earth. This means we are able to follow our own truth path in life which helps the world to expand and broaden into a healthy society of many great ideas and view points. No one answer is the answer. It is the collective that blends to greatness that continues to evolve by the truth of our souls. In this sense, we continue to raise each other up to our highest potential to lessen the existence of a lower vibration where control, conformity, suffering, poverty and such hardship exist within it’s powerless, contained bubble. A place where we lose our individual spirit and truth. As humans we have a need to know the end result, rather than trust as we follow our hearts and faith to find our way through our destiny in life. We have to live more by trust in our truth, than believing what someone has proven to work for them as our own truth. It is a continual evolving process that we as humans could benefit to find comfort in. I feel as we move further into the age of Aquarius, it is important to balance the vibration levels of our population so that we can come together to live a more balanced life where community exists and we vibrate at a more hopeful, empowered and loving way. Time to tap into your own truth & support the creativity of others truths to create your way forward that serves your life’s purpose for the good of all.

Full Moon in Pisces

September 9, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Saturday, Sept. 10 in the northern hemisphere is the Full Moon in Pisces. This means we have the Sun (conscious awareness) in Virgo (the body/daily routines) & the Moon in Pisces (the unconscious, spirit, oneness, intuition, dreaminess, feeling connected). With these two in opposition it is generally about the spirit realm and the human body/reality. The push and pull between dreams vs. day to day, intuition vs. logic, passions/desires vs. responsibilities, spirit vs. flesh/physical world. Dr. Michael Lennox, Astrologer says, “We are being bombarded with a lot of Pisces energy at this time, but we are also being deeply guided as Neptune (planet of spirit) the ruler of Pisces is very close to the moon & playing a part in the influences of this Full Moon.”

Every Full Moon is a time to release what no longer works for us. In this Full Moon we can learn to apply time to our daily devotion, whether it is prayer or meditation in order to deepen our connection to spirit. Become conscious of what we keeps us from devoting time to connecting with spirit and let it go. Pisces can be emotional & this powerful connection to everything will surely stir things up in that department. Overall, it is a wonderful time to open ourselves up to a stronger relationship with spirit and empower our lives toward what it is we really want in life. With the world moving so fast and propelling us forward this year, this Full Moon brings the energy advising us to slow down so we do not miss the lesson that stands between us and our truest desires.

The other planetary and astrological signs say we need to find middle ground, forgiveness, have healing conversations, focus on the tug awars within, clarify misconceptions. It may also be a time for some to re-evaluate, reorganize or revise plans already set in motion. Once you let go of things you thought you wanted, but realize they were not truly your desire, be brave to change course. There is supportive energy right now to get in touch with what is the right thing to do, no matter how hard it may be. To manifest your truest life in alignment with who you really are, tap into what lights you up, your desires & mindfully set intentions. Take the necessary actions to get what it is you really want. Pay attention to the limitations you place on yourself when acting on a desire and let them go! Lack has no place in manifesting your truest desires in life. Be sure to start small, something attainable & as you empower you’ll find bigger is attainable!

Lets see what the cards have to say about connecting to spirit more fully during this heightened time. I drew “Protecting Treasure” from the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid’s deck. The essential meaning of this card “You are always protected & Divinely directed.” I say, when you get in touch with how spirit guides you in your life, you will learn to trust divine inspiration. You will feel safe because you will know what is true and what is not true. You can overcome fear when you take a risk in a new direction in your life because it will be backed up with solid confidence and sound evidence of your desire. If you feel otherwise, it is not the right action. Enjoy this wonderful time to get in touch with your inner truth and intuition as the mega power is all around us right now.

New Moon Coming!

August 23, 2022August 24, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

The New Moon in Virgo will happen this Saturday, August 27th. Backing up a bit, the Sun moved into Virgo on the 22nd & since August 20, Mercury (issues/lessons of the mind) has been sitting in it’s shadow & will continue to do so until it retrogrades September 9th to early October. Mercury rules Virgo (about organization, details, putting everything into place, the physical body & it’s processes).

I wanted to share, because this week is a time to pay attention to issues that arise with interaction, communication, thoughts & processing mind patterns. The incidents or negotiations that happen this week will give you a hint of what the Mercury retrograde over the next 6 weeks will be about for you & what issues/lessons may present themselves. This gives you a chance to start focusing on what is ahead.

Now and during Mercury’s retrograde journey, there will be 3 times that Mercury encounters influences with potential to trigger irritations. Starting with later this week with Mercury sitting in it’s shadow, then again when it turns around/goes retrograde and then a 3rd time when it turns around again and begins it’s path forward. Presently this week starts off in a positive with empowered use of our voice, but as the week progresses, we move into agitations that can influence the power of persuasion & turn communication into necessitated conversations. Again, pay attention to the issues that come up inside yourself, as this could be a hint of what the retrograde will be for you over the next 6 weeks.

As we move toward the New Moon and our time to plant the seeds of intentions, it is important to look yourself in the mirror and decide if the direction you are heading is true to your hearts desire, bodily health and if you believe you are deserving of it all. If you are true to yourself in your intentions, you are capable of materializing your dreams and they will last as long as your truth. This New Moon will be like setting your resolutions for the remainder of the year. More on the New Moon this Saturday.

Lets draw an oracle card to see what everyone needs to know about this week. I drew the card “The Storyteller.” The essential meaning of this card is: identity, positive self-definition, teaching others how to treat you through the stories you tell about yourself.” I say – if you want to create positive change in your life, it starts with the stories of your life and your experiences. Do you tell the same victim stories over and over. Are you a hard luck Harry? How does that serve you as a person being a victim or painting a particular self-image to others or the images you send to the world? How you talk to yourself and the guidance you give yourself is of equal importance to your direction in life. Change begins with you. Remember the world is a reflection outwardly of your inner self. To head toward your dreams and goals, you need to be in touch with the truth inside yourself to propel your life forward. Be aware of the motivations behind your actions and communications because that is what guides your future. The Universe can only respond to who you are and what you are deserving of. The rest of your misguided actions have to be worked out until you have reached truth. You can thank this retrograde for helping points those aspects out! Wishing you well as you navigate to fill your dreams.

Is Death the End?

August 20, 2022August 20, 2022 susangtib3 Comments

For quite some time I have had experiences of seeing shadows, movement out of the corner of my eye, smells nobody else smells & being touched, but nothing is there. Some times when I do a reading for people, I receive information from a deceased person or animal. While I do not consider myself a medium, I definitely have experiences. I have been listening to a series of podcast on Mediums and it has reminded me of some of my encounters and confirmed to me they are true.

When I was in my teens and early 20’s & I would take a midday nap, I encountered spirit beings. I would be in a deep state while thinking I was awake. These people would gather around me and do things to bother me. I would feel paralyzed, unable to move my body to try to get them to leave me alone. They would flick my nose, tickle me, tug at my toes, etc. I decided I had to stop taking naps during the day because it was so bothersome & I couldn’t stop it. At that time, I was not even remotely aware it could be dead people coming to me in spirit to get my attention.

Over the years I have seen shadows and movements out of the corner of my eyes or even been stopped in my tracks by a shadow appearing in front of me, not knowing what it was. It was only later in my life that I had experienced mediums & I got pets that I started to understand. The first solid understanding came when I had a young dog named Sadie suddenly drop dead one evening. My husband & I were devastated. After we came home from the vet office, I was laying on the couch grieving and something licked my foot. I looked down and there was nothing there. But I knew it happened & felt comforted by it. My other dog would come over and look at the spot where Sadie always laid, but would never go near it, she was the dominant dog of the two. I do believe he saw here there & I felt her presence many times. I now see her shadow in my house regularly. An animal communicator verified her visits & told me she would continue to guard our home & she has.

I volunteer for dog rescue, and several months after losing Sadie, my husband & I were traveling in Turkey and were contacted by our rescue president. A black female, Mariah, that looked a lot like Sadie had come into rescue & she asked if we would be interested in her. We were not ready and told her I was not interested. When I got back to CA, I went in to walk the rescue dogs & was told Mariah took a while to warm up to people & to take it slow with her. When I approached her kennel, Mariah stood there and wagged her tail at me like we were old friends, seemingly eager to know me. So next time I visited the rescue dogs I took her out. On our walk, there were times she looked just like Sadie & it relieved my grief. Long story short, we adopted her, although it took several meetings for her to accept my husband comfortably. All through our life together I always felt a strong connection to her. Years later, by her side and she passed, I felt a surge of energy pop out the top of my head. There was no doubting it was her spirit leaving & our physical connected energy left on some level with her. That night, as I lay in bed grieving, I had this vision of her & our other deceased dog Cooper standing in front of me, Mariah wagging her tail. My body started to vibrate all over, to the point where I felt it shaking. She told me she was okay and happy where she was. I asked her to please come visit me and she agreed and then they both ran off playfully together and the vibrating stopped. I had never felt that before & there was no denying what I had experienced. To this day, I see her & Cooper’s shadows about the house now and again.

Since the Mediumship series, I have been working on my skills in this area and have begun to expand my awareness of my abilities. I am smelling scents my husband says don’t exist, but they are very strong to me. The other day I felt a big drop of water hit my thumb, but nothing was there. I have felt things bump into me or sweep past me. On a dog walk & other occasions, I heard my name called very loud and clear, when I turn around, nobody is there. Last night as I lay in bed meditating and doing affirmations, my phone across the room in Airplane mode, silenced, my phone screen would light up after finishing certain thoughts, myself taking that as the last thought was one to have confidence in. I am very curious if any of this rings true for you or if you have any similar experiences? Please feel free to comment, I would love to hear.

Lastly, I will share something one medium said when asked how they felt about death. They said: “When we die, I believe our life doesn’t end, it just changes.” That is the way I feel. And I think once you let go of the fear of dying, you can truly live and not be coerced by fear as our world seems to be so good at provoking these days. Getting people to do things they would not normally do because they are acting out of fear. Remember to always check your motivation before acting. Check in with your heart to see if it feels truth & clear that your path forward is smooth sailing. If you feel conflict, ask why? Ask for spirit to bring you the truth, help you to understand your ill feelings. Remember, when you receive messages, only act on what resonates with the peaceful, inspired feelings that seem right. Use you hearts truth, not your emotions to find your solutions.

Let’s see what the cards say about the all the goings on in our world today and how to handle the emotions it triggers. From “The Enchanted Map” Oracle Card deck from Collette Baron-Reid I drew “Listening” in protection mode. The essential meaning is: “an open heart will hear the message!” The protection message from the book says: Are you feeling that you’re not being heard— that perhaps your needs aren’t valid, that your song will go unsung? Now is the time to bring your message to the world. Speak up….It’s time for your voice to resound throughout your sphere of influence. Say what you mean & ask for what you want. In protection is also asks if you’re refusing to listen to someone else, preferring to hear what you want instead of what is being said. Time to get out of denial. Reversed, this card always brings freedoms if you heed it’s advice. I say, I believe we all have divine intervention for solving our problems and creating ideas. We hear ways forward all the time, but shoot them down within ourselves for various reasons. Good for you if you are acting on them! Some times we wait until we are in a dire situation & provoked to act out of survival. Save the drama and follow your leads that ring true! The key message here is utilize the gifts from spirit that are given to you. Set your intentions, meditate, focus and at that moment, generate the feelings you want to feel on a daily basis to manifest a new reality. Not only do you help yourself, but you help to create energy for the world to empower goodness and overpower evil. That is a small gesture you can contribute toward healing the world and improving your life as a result. When and if you feel helpless, turn to your emotions and create how you want to feel. If you can’t do that, smile as big as you can and hold it. It will get you started toward changing your current state! Together, lets heal the world!

Dreams of Manifestation

August 18, 2022August 18, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Last night I listened to a monthly focus talk by Collette Baron-Reid before I went to bed. She credited learning about manifestation from Unity Church. She said to manifest, it is about creating the feeling of how you want to feel. It is about the essence, not the form. You need to trust spirit will guide you toward the form of what is in your truth. So instead of just seeing & visualizing, you need to create the feeling of the end result. How you will feel when you are doing what it is you are wanting to do or have. She also stated the importance of aligning yourself with people who help create the essence of who you want to become. Avoid being with people that are negative, talk bad about others or are not supportive of you. Be particular who you spend your time with. Remember several weeks ago, I talked about your “Truth Tribe?” Well here you go! Also, you have to take action when spirit sends you urges to follow, you can’t just expect everything will materialize without action.

To be honest, I didn’t sleep that well last night as I woke up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep. I tried some homeopathy that usually helps, but it didn’t. So I resorted to laying there with a clear mind and creating how I wanted to feel. Maybe I could manifest sleep! I later woke up with the memory of this dream. I was at a place of business to meet with someone for a reason I don’t remember. It was an open room with lots of cubicles filled with employees. They all seemed to be artist and created their artwork during their breaks in their cubicles, which were displayed. As I walked around I saw their many creations & everyone was so kind and generous, some sharing their work. I then met with this lady who was supportive of me and welcoming. I left my purse at her desk as I got engaged with some other people and their art. After many interactions, I suddenly remembered I left my purse at the ladies desk and was a bit stressed about it, so I rushed back to get it. It was there amongst several people safe and when I picked it up, it was full of of clusters of folded dollar bills. I didn’t understand how the money got there and started to look through it to see how much was there. I was delighted about this good fortune, but felt unsure about how it got there and not clear it was really mine, something I need to process, then I woke up.

This dream illustrated to me I need to put myself amongst passionate, creative & artistic people to manifest what I want in life. This months astrological influences have been very strong for me. The fixed signs have left me feeling depressed & resistant to doing things. Therefore I have not been blogging much. Last night I wanted to write something, but felt no motivation & great resistance. But I did feel the urge to watch Collette’s talk in my subscribed Oracle Circle Group on manifestation which led me to this dream, which led me to understanding more deeply what she was saying. When you follow your urges, which I believe is spirit, it will lead you to your solutions. Because look, here I am writing a blog I have not been able to do for almost a week!

Let’s see what message the cards have for us today! I am using the “Enchanted Map” by Collette Baron-Reid. I am asking what everyone needs to know about their manifestation. The card I drew was “Intention” in protection mode. The card book specifically says: Are you clear about your intentions, or are you in a foggy state of denial about your true motives and/or ambitions? In general it goes on to say, step back, gain perspective & clarify your direction. Check your motives and ask if they are sincere. Are you pursuing goals blindly without asking it’s cost? Time to regroup, self-evaluate & self-nurture. You will benefit greatly. I say, you have to trust what you feel inside when trying to create something for yourself. Are you influenced by possibly just the amount of money you can make, but have no passion for what you are pursuing? Are you interested in something, but don’t really enjoy doing it, yet continue to try to create it? What is it that fulfills you? What makes you happy? Maybe you don’t believe what you really want is possible or you don’t deserve it. If that is the case, you need to look inside yourself and see how denying yourself serves you. What do you get from lack, not doing or having? Does it bring out something in your relationship with others that you like? These are just some examples. Find a way to heal what keeps you from being you and living your passions in life. Love, abundance, prosperity, happiness, etc. are awaiting you to live your best life. Find out what is standing in the way of you accomplishing what your heart desires in life.

Full Moon in Aquarius

August 11, 2022August 28, 2022 susangtib2 Comments

At 6:35pm Pacific the Full Moon will hit in Aquarius. Remember the Full Moon deals with the unconscious and letting go. Aquarius created the concept of community & is about how we can all serve the community. Opposing the Moon is the Sun, our conscious mind that is still in Leo. Leo is about serving the self, identifying our personal talents, leadership skills & gifts. The shadow to Leo is the ego, attachment to attention, self-inflated sense. So in the Full Moon we have energy that pulls between the Sun & Moon challenging us to identify how we bring our talents and leadership forward to serve the community & what issues needs to be released to do so.

Other influences are Saturn (the teacher) in an amplified position demanding we learn the lessons before us & Saturn can cause breakdowns, stopping us in our tracks to make sure we are learning the lessons. Because Aquarius who is ruled by Uranus ( the great awakener) there are the same influences of the New Moon because Uranus (the Great Awakener) is still hanging out with the North Node ( the future) & Mars (action) where the influence are hurdling us forward to wake up & fast. Lastly we have Chiron ( the great healer) hitting our South Node ( the past, old wounds we are trying to get away from) which gives us the influences to heal our past & our deep wounds. With Saturn present, there is the amplified demand to heal & let go, which will likely happen whether you accept the challenge or not.

So to summarize the influences of this Full Moon, we are being pushed into figuring out who we are so we can more effectively to serve the needs of the community which is being hurled forward blindly by all the demands of the fast changing future while having old wounds & our past brought up and demanding we heal and release these wounds to improve our leadership skills. The more in touch you are with how you are feeling, the ability to decipher truth & understand what in our past is needing to be released will help you process the inner changes needed to heal & create. This is a demanding time. It is to our benefit to ditch the old days of coasting through life without paying attention to how our future is being molded. A time to discover how we each can influence the future by living our truth or accept living your life by the will of others.

Lets see what the cards say about what we need to know about this Full Moon for our highest good. The card I drew is from the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid, “Ghostlands”. The essential meaning of Ghostlands is: You learn from the past and imagine the beautiful future, but you must live in the here & now. This card talks about staying in the now. To think beyond today has no substance. And to reflect on the past & try to change the past has no power in today. It is okay to revisit and remember what was & dream about the future, but you can’t live in either. My intuition says that when you are unsure of yourself it is a time of learning. When we feel blind, it is the time to turn to your faith and let spirit guide you. You have to read the signs and opportunities that are presented to you while you focus on faith & hope for your future. We can’t know what the future is, but we make choices that can guide us toward our future like stepping stones. Today is about the choices you make, the hope & faith you send for your future and the ability to choose at the fork in the road toward your truth & the good of all.

This post is inspired by Dr. Michael Lennox & Collette Baron-Reid and the many other spiritual teachers in my life. If you would like personal, tailored guidance check out the services on my web page at http://www.giftedtruths.com.

Teeter-Tottering, Finding Balance

August 9, 2022August 10, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

It feels like the world could use some balance these days more than ever. There is a lot of social, political & life issues right now that have people polarized. Along with the good things, our emotions are high, we are confused, overwhelmed & tired of the uncontrollable in life dictating our realities. What can each of us do to help bring things into balance and create more self-empowerment for the good of all?

First off, can we agree that we are all made of energy? Self-care is where I always find I need to start. Take time to eat well, rest, stretch, relax & build strength. Find an exercise routine you enjoy, not what you think you should do. If you find things you like to do, you are more likely to be more consistent at it. I am not good at belonging to clubs or going to scheduled classes. What works for me is to exercise at home, while others like to belong to clubs or gyms. Whatever makes you successful is the key! My routine starts with meditation, an energy medicine daily routine, yoga and muscle building first thing in the morning.

Meditation: Clearing your mind is the pathway to communicating with the Diving/Spirit/God & building your intuition muscle so to speak. Building your meditative skills leads to more spiritual guidance in your life as you allow more empty space in your head for spirit to come in. It is also good to learn to focus on the task at hand with a quiet mind to hear spirit & be inspired by your truth & innate knowing. I love hobbies that require complete concentration to get me out of my stress. We are constantly being stimulated with outside noise or busy doing things. Creating time to clear the mind is a good way to sustain balance. Distraction and overstimulation starts at a very young age. Kids are constantly bombarded with toys, noise, videos, things that direct them away from their innate wisdom to keep them occupied. They grow up forgetting to slow down and take time out, except when punished which is not a positive association. It might be good to incorporate slowing down time together as a preventative instead of wait for off-balance behaviors to do so. Meditation is also a great time to make sure your chakras are all balanced and open. Simply visualize the energy of your chakras turning in a clock-wise manner in the color associated with each Chakra. If you are in the LA area, I do energy balancing along with an intuitive body reading.

Morning Energy Medicine Routine: I start off with my morning doing Energy Medicine, more specifically, the daily energy routine that balances my bodies energy. I learned from the renowned energy medicine guru, Donna Eden. You can find it free on YouTube. This routine gives me energy, gets my energy running in my body in a healing manner & over time has many health benefits. Check out her web page for many free videos to heal your body as well: https://edenenergymedicine.com. Donna Eden healed herself of MS!

Yoga: Working at home, I let my body guide me to do the many yoga poses that I am spontaneously moved to stretch and muscle build. If you listen to your body, you know what it needs. There are many great yoga studios out there. Or you can search online for a free yoga class or sign up for online classes to do from home. It is good to learn the proper way to do the poses & breathing by an instructor before doing yoga independently to get the optimal intended benefit.

Building strength: I use resistance bands & weights for muscle building to work on the weak areas of my body & maintain overall strength. Building strength helps my mind set, posture, motivation & overall builds confidence. I have less inflammation, body pain and injuries when my muscles are strong. I also use chiropractics & accupuncture to support my overall body energy & health to keep me healthy as I build and maintain strength.

Eating: Eat as much organic & fresh food as possible. Maybe even consider growing some of your own food. It is really rewarding to make a salad with dinner from your garden or an entire meal. With the constant reports of metals, pesticides, etc being found in foods, take control of what you put in your body by avoiding as much processed, prepared foods as possible. I have learned a lot of alternative, healthy resources from my niece who makes great, easy recipes at http://www.minimalistbaker.com. Her recipes are healthy & free!

If you can bring your body into balance each day it has a positive affect on the those around you and also builds the feeling of balance in the world. It is a simple way to contribute for the good of all & self-benefit. I am not a morning person, but I can start my routine in bed and it motivates me to get going in the mornings & kicks off my day in a better mental, emotional & physical state. Find what works for you & you feel motivated about!

Be grateful! We have a tendency to put a lot of energy into what we want & with focus on what we don’t have or don’t like about our lives. We are constantly seeking change. To focus on what is missing can put a lot of energy toward lack in your life. While is it always good to self-improve, acknowledge what you do have and recognize what you are grateful for in your life now. Gratitude lifts others & empowers spirit to inspire you toward abundance. Remember we are all an extension of one another. To empower others is to empower yourself. As you self-improve, always remember to include the gratitude.

How do you use your resources? Examples would be food, water, money, friends & family, material possessions, religion or faith. Do you empower yourself with your resources? Do you use them to make your life & health better by your choices? With money, lets look at who you give your money to when spending/donating – is it to businesses that empower your life, support your beliefs? Or to people who are making your life or possibly others lives worse? I’ll share another, different money example: I had a friend who was distraught because their son was covered in tattoos ( I am not against tattoos). Every tattoo that kid had was paid for by them as they were supporting him. They kept giving him more and more money & he kept buying tattos which was so upsetting to them. Instead of empowering him to become self-sufficient, they contributed to his dependence on them & his wasteful uses of their hard earned money according to them. Another thing to be mindful of is buying personal possessions. Do you buy what you take the time decide if you really need it, or is it something that is trending & you don’t really want nor end up utilizing? Sure we all make bad buys, but mindful taking/use of resouces is important. Think about the natural resources involved in making products & if it becomes your trash after a week how that affects the planet. I think you get what I am saying here. The desert is now becoming a dumping ground for trash because there is nowhere else to put it. Very little of what you put in your recycle bin is actually being recycled.

We live in a time where you need to do your homework on what is important. You can not automatically trust what you hear. Check sources that reflect where they get their information from, the resources used to gather their advice. There is no better time to learn to get in touch with your inner truth and decipher what is true and what is not!

Lets see what the cards say about what we need to know about finding balance in our life: I drew: “Smoke & Mirrors” from the “Oracle of the 7 Energies” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The essential meaning is: seeing through the lense of past conditioning, the inability to recognize the truth of what is being offered, healing from misguided perceptions, moving beyond the illusion of seperation, being accountable for your biases and the way you view the world. Some of the points the guide book points out are: Ask yourself if what you see is really just what you are looking for? Can you drop into your heart and soul and call for a vision, a feeling, an awareness of true and authentic? Every day remind yourself you are intrinsically connected to all life. The universe need you to learn about it. Today trust the inner voice reminds you that you truly will find what you seek & more, even if the outer conditions appear to challenge that. I say, have courage to believe what you feel in your heart is possible. Break down the walls of conditioning, this is a very fertile time to create a new future. Be a part of the solution – believe in your inspirations when thinking of what excites you moving forward in life with love and goodness in your heart. Don’t just follow what the powers that be say is your future, create it yourself. Within your inspiration lies your passions and ability to provide abundance and to empower the people you share this earth with to do the same. Only you can make your impossible seem possible! Your energy is as abundant in our lives as the air we breathe. They both are our life lines!

New Moon in Leo

July 27, 2022July 29, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Hold on to your hats folks, because we are in for a ride. This new moon in Leo on July 28th signifies a time to be playful, personal self-expression, leadership, a time of joy and action. Other influences will be the possibility of the expansions of abundance, the teacher & reckoner of lessons & lastly a huge thrust forward toward the future with an awakening in mind. The most significant energy started a few days before the New Moon & peaks on the 31st. It involves the North Node (energy guiding us into the future), Uranus (the great awakener where anything can & will happen), Mars ( the planet of action) conjuncting (melding of planet energies) in Taurus (smart, ambitious & trustworthy). This conjunction is being compared in significance to 2020 where Jupiter (global expansion), Saturn (the teacher) & Pluto (death & rebirth) were in a great eliminator angle to the North Node (the future). That angle said, we are leaving the old world behind and moving into a new direction, into the new world that has been being created right under our noses & many of us have not been paying attention. I think we can all agree that 2020 forever changed our lives. Now 2 yrs. later we are entering Uranus (the great awakener) going into retrograde for 10-14 weeks, 18 degrees of Taurus (smart, ambitious & trustworthy). Uranus will be completely still when it is conjunct with the North Node (move us to the future) & Mars (planet of action). When a planet is not moving (Uranus), it’s energy is way more powerful. Therefore what is ahead, is Uranus sending us a lightening bolt of energy to move us forward into the future with the intention of waking us up, however we need awakened! If you know your natal chart, you can look up which House Taurus is in to prepare how the energies will affect you. If not, you can go to https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi to see your natal chart and find out, but it would require you to know your birth time, birth location & your date of birth for an accurate chart. If not, think back on the past 7 months and where your challenges have been in life & that will be your clue. The message here is, this bolt of energy can be either negative or positive for your life, depending on how awake you are and how much work you have done in this area of your life.

With each New Moon, it is a time to set intentions. How you set your intentions with the influence of Leo (and other influences) will affect how you will be propelled forward to accomplish these seeds you plant. This time should be about expressing ourselves in the world for the good of all. Work toward tapping into your personal creative expression & sharing your individual gifts with the world. It is a time to move forward in the world with your purpose & put it into action. It is advised by Astrologer, Michael Lennox to plant your intentions more in how you want to feel than the actual form you want it to take. As Uranus does not care whether it is good or bad & depending on where you are at with your growth, you will be thrust forward powerfully ready or not. Remember to every positive, there is a shadow (lessons to be learned before you can have what you wish for & our wishes are not always in the form we want, but in the form we need). Don’t wish on a star you are not prepared to handle in growth & awareness to accomplish it. Come from an authentic & honest place.

How can you help humanity at this crazy time when we are being forced into a future blindly that none of us knows the outcome? Think in the long term, not the short term. Don’t get caught up in finger pointing at people who are not awake or contributing to the things you oppose. Be a beacon of light, meditate for the good of the collective to awaken in a healing sense or to manage the thrust forward into expansion with support, grace, peace and love. Connect with spirit in a partnership and use the wisdom gathered as you follow your heart forward. We all are in this together and the best thing we can do is extend goodness to everyone to best benefit positive change. No matter how crazy this world seems right now, know that your actions make a difference in shifting the course of the outcome. We always have a choice even when it appears there is no hope. Having hope is what stirs the pot to provide momentum forward.

Lets see what the cards have to say & I will ask: What is it we all need to know in this abundant, awakening time to show leadership & remain optimistic? Using Wisdom of the Oracle deck by Collette Baron-Reid I drew: “Building Blocks” in protection mode. This card is saying (from the book) it is time to evaluate the values & convictions in your life. Let go of things that no longer serve your vision moving forward. Remove the rotten pieces and reinforce your core moral strength & integreity. Now is the time for rigorous honesty, for you are called to renovate and upgrade your consciousness! Spirit has a beautiful blueprint of our life far beyond your imagination. Don’t be afraid to replace what’s not solid. Well, I think the deck’s book explained it pretty well, but I’ll share my intuitive thoughts as well. Time to get in touch with what you have been longing to do, allow yourself to be who you are and demonstate it. Believe in your drive, passions and creativity. Start something and see where it leads you. Make necessary changes to tweak your path forward to stay on course as you grow and see change. Let go of what drags you down and no longer serves your highest good. Let go of your grip on familiar and comfort because these are opposite times. Trust your partnership with spirit moving forward to help guide you into the unknown. When you are being true to yourself with the good of all in your intentions, you will be lead to opportunities of self-fullfillment. If you act on those opportunities you will benefit the world by spreading your talents that can affect others in a positive way. Don’t let the bumps in the road stop you. Have courage, lock arms with the people who give you the strenth to fulfill your purpose.
