THE POWER OF LETTING GO

Merry Meet to All of You!

Lisa and me have been looking into tapping and EFT recently (Lisa's attending a course shortly, so excited!)and I have just watched this clip of Robert Smith, who is one of the experts in the field.

While I was watching it, it dawned on me that the message he tries to bring over really holds great truth and wisdom, it is all about the power of letting go, in order to create something new and better and be happy in yourself. Due to some personal stuff going on for me at the moment, it was exactly what I needed to hear, and i think it holds relevant insight for everyone, even if your not interested in or practising EFT. So, have a look and think about it, and most of all:

START CREATING YOUR OWN HAPPINESS!

Manifestation experiment

Here's a little experiment you might like to try for yourself. When it comes to the Law of Attraction and manifesting abundance, it might be easier to start with something small, like feathers or pennies.

First you align yourself with Source. I like to use the following affirmation found in Stop the Excuses: How to Change Lifelong Thoughts by Wayne W. Dyer:

'The creative and intelligent power manifests perfectly as the universe. I am a result of this power. I feel connected to it, and I know it will work with me in creating the life I desire.'

Make sure you truly feel connected to the Source before you proceed.

Then just picture what you want to manifest flowing towards you effortlessly. If you like, you can imagine a funnel of abundance above your head. See pennies or feathers, or whatever it is you desire, flowing towards you from all corners of the universe and going into the funnel above you.

Accept, acknowledge and give thanks for the abundance of pennies or feathers (or whatever you decided to experiment with) that is already yours, then go about your day with a sense of wonder - open to the endless possibilities of ways that the object you desired might manifest.

Lastly, bring yourself to be completely present in the now. Just as you know that the sun rises every morning, you can know and trust that the Law of Attraction is working without any effort on your behalf when you are aligned with Source.

Personally, I chose to try this experiment with feathers the other day, and the result can be seen in the picture above. Within a minute after activating the manifestation of more feathers, a large owl feather landed in front of my feet.

We happened to be at a fair ground where there was a large European Eagle Owl on display. I did not see him when I decided to manifest feathers, but he appeared almost immediately thereafter. Time seemed to stop as I beheld the large owl feather float to the ground only seconds after starting the manifestation experiment. Chance? In my universe there is no such thing as chance!

Not only did I manifest a feather for myself this way, but when my youngest daughter saw that I had been given a beautiful large owl feather, she decided to ask the owl keeper if she too could have one. Of course she could. The keeper had one tucked away that she handed to my daughter without hesitation.

Please let us know how you get on if you try this experiment!

Love & Light

UP IN THE AIR

Merry Meet to All of You!

Isn't there a strange feeling in the air at the moment?!

When we met for our meeting last night (which was brilliant, a really good exchange of views and experiences), we all said that we felt really strange over the last couple of days, a mixture of being charged up to the brim and at the same time being close to tears.

It was actually quite reassuring that other people are experiencing the same mood, because, to be honest, Lisa and me both felt like we were loosing it slightly.

We reckon it has to do with what's going on in the heavens right now, being in the sign of Gemini, which is pure Air, in conjunction with certain planetary alignments, can give you a distinct feeling of not being grounded, like floating aimlessly, even more so if you are an Earth or Water sign.

If you are feeling overcharged and a little lost, you might want to try burning some incense mix of cedar, chamomile and lavender, which can all help you to calm and ground yourself.

Lisa published a blog on the subject aswell, see: http://tarothealingbylisa.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-deserts.html

So, lets all be reassured that this mad phase will not last forever and just try to keep our feet on the ground.

Warm Blessings,

Ilona

TIP OF THE DAY - PSYCHIC PARTY GAMES

Having a party? Not sure what theme to go with? Well here is the good news - you don't have to wait for Halloween to have a metaphysical theme or to do some psychic party games!

Here's a link to a website that has a few simple games that you might like to try: http://carrieanddanielle.com/improve-your-intuition-psychic-games-for-parties-and-groups/

If you're looking for more variation as well as games that go with specific types of celebration or the major sabbats of the year, you might want to check out Cassandra Eason's book Psychic Party Games.

You may also consider enlisting the help of one of your psychic friends to do mini readings for each of the guests, or hiring a professional psychic tarot reader (can be expensive!).

The bottom line is that we are all psychic and it's easier to bring this out in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. It's important that everyone is at ease with what is going on, so check and make sure that none of your guests have any hang-ups about psychic activities before you get started. Besides, being psychic yourself, you probably know which guests to invite and which ones to leave out until you have a more conventionally themed party ;)

TIP OF THE DAY- THE WISDOM OF GRASS

Merry Meet to all of you!

You probably wonder, what the title is about?


Well, it's just something I came up with, when life gets on top of me sometimes and everything seems a struggle.

In Taoism, one of the roots of unhappiness, ill-contentment and negative personal energy is our constant striving in the material world. In our society, it gets ingrained in most of us from a very early age, that it is the most important in life, to be successful - in both personal relationships as well as career wise. People tend to measure their self-worth in what they have been able to achieve and amass in material possessions. The pressure to keep up a 'successful, perfect' image puts a huge emphasis on constantly 'bettering yourself' and achieve more, and there are no excuses allowed, if you can't keep up.
This strive for socially accepted 'perfection' in your life can lead to rigidity and the inability to deal with changes, which might not fit into your 'personal achievement plan' and thus affect self-worth in a negative way.
Taoism teaches that you can reach happiness and contentment by detachment to the material world. Now, that sounds pretty profound and a bit scary, but the core of it means: you have to learn to bend with the flow of life, in good phases as well as bad, and stop denying yourself the right to regress and re-assess...and yes - to feel sad and awful.
Stop striving for societies blind prescription of 'happily ever after' at all costs!

That's why I call it 'the wisdom of grass', because why is grass one of the most successful species on Earth? It is flexible and bends with every direction the wind might blow from and so it survives!
It is an allegory of embracing change instead of fighting against it (the grass would break
standing up to the wind).
So the next time life puts you on a low ebb, visualize a great plain of grass swaying with the strong wind, and how it will not break, but stand upright again, once the storm is over.

Warm Blessings,
Ilona

TIP OF THE DAY - WALK IN WONDER

According to psychic and author, Sonia Choquette, one of the best ways to develop psychically, as well as to increase your sense of happiness and wellbeing, is to maintain a sense of childlike wonder about life.

Try the following little exercise to develop eyes that see the beauty of the world in wonder:

Go for a walk in nature. It's ideal if this is somewhere you normally like to go walking, and where you feel familiar with the surroundings. It doesn't matter what time of the year it is or what the weather is like, your mission is to capture the beauty and magick of nature as it is.

Your magickal tool for this exercise is your camera. Pause where you feel guided to pause along the way and use your eyes to truly see, the way you did when you were a child. Is that a couple of shrubs or is it a faery portal? Observe the play of light and shadow. See the beauty in the smallest flower or oddly shaped stone. Capture it!

Don't be surprised if the fairies have left a gift for you, but don't come empty-handed. Bring something to leave in return. You may come home with new insights, but whether you do or not, the only thing that matters is that you experienced a sense of wonder and connectedness.

Make an illustrated journal entry of your magickal walk. If you make a blog entry of it, please feel free to link to it in the comments section below.

The great thing about seeing everything with a childlike sense of wonder is that it automatically makes us completely present and aware. It's a bit like meditating without meditating really... and this is the reason why children see things that adults have long since forgotten how to see.

The images in this post are from my own magickal walk by the river Swale in January this year.

Bright blessings,
Lisa

TIP OF THE DAY - TAROT MEDITATION

Merry meet everyone!

I usually do a 'card of the day' first thing in the morning, with either one of my tarot decks or my Medicine Cards. This card then serves as my meditation focus for the day.

You can easily incorporate a 'card of the day' meditative focus in your daily morning meditation.

Personally, I like to start by lighting a candle, as the candle represents all the elements and is said to draw angels near. You can also light some incense to further raise the vibration.

Sit comfortably and with your back straight, shoulders relaxed. Make sure that there is nothing to restrict your breathing. Take a couple of deep breaths and sigh deeply to let all the old, stale air out of your lungs.

Ground your energy, visualising roots going out from the soles of your feet on the out-breah, all the way into the core of the earth. On the in-breath, draw the red earth energy up into your body, all the way up through the top of the head. Just above the top of the head, the scintillating red earth energy meets the white light of spirit. Breathe this white light in, and on the out-breath send it all the way down through your feet and down into the core of the earth. You are now grounded and centred.

Shuffle the cards while asking God/dess, your spiritual Master and/or the angels for daily guidance. Pull the card you feel drawn to. Sometimes this is the top card and sometimes a card will jump out all by itself. Always pay extra attention to the 'jumpers' as the most definitely contain a message/lesson from spirit.

If you've got a book that goes with the deck and you feel like reading about the card you pulled, this makes a wonderful form of meditative study. If you prefer to work strictly based on what your intuition brings you while gazing on the card, then this works equally well.

Whichever way you choose to absorb the message, make sure you note your impressions and ideas down. You can keep a special Tarot journal for this, or you can use your Book of Shadows. Personally, I prefer to blog about my daily draw. If you don't feel like sharing your thoughts online, but still prefer typing to longhand writing, you can just create a Word document for your daily card reading and keep it safe in a folder. The advantage of keeping digital copies in a special folder is easy retrieval. Label each of your entries with the name of the card and the date of the reading.

Don't forget to give thanks for the insights you've received in your meditation. The best way to come back to reality if you've floated off on a psychic cloud during your meditation is to stand up and stamp your feet a few times.

Remind yourself of the archetypal energy you're working with throughout the day and keep your senses peeled to messages relating to the card.

Not only will this way of working with the cards help your personal/spiritual development, but you'll find that you bond with the cards on such a deep psychic level that eventually are able to produce brilliant intuitive readings for yourself and others.

Bright blessings,
Lisa
