On-Going Lessons: Nov 25, 2018

Earlier this year the need for inner child healing work was screaming to be done.  Last year (2017) brought many unhealed wounds to the surface.  I erroneously thought these were no longer an issue, as it turns out they are huge issues begging to be healed.  I was pregnant for most of 2018 and I refrained from diving too deep to inner work because I was very hormonal and emotional.  I didn’t want to cause myself undue stress or anxiety facing the roots of my stress and anxiety.

I am now 6 weeks post partum at the time of writing this and the inner work albeit minimal has finally begun. My husband suggested a couple useful journal prompts for self reflection.  I also incorporate tarot into my self-work, more on that later.  It’s quite interesting when the synchronicities start happening on these inner journeys we take.

I knew journaling would be a part of this process. It’s always been a way for me to get to know the true, inner me. A theme that has come up for me specifically is soul purpose / life path.  I will start the string of synchronicities when I began to declutter our copious amount of paperwork in the house. It was stashed in various locations and we had several out of date and useless pieces of paper. Everything is now centralized and old documents shredded. Can a house lose weight? Because it felt lighter after that clean out.

I came across an old journal with entries dated 2006 – 2008. Seems I was unknowingly using it for the same process that I am embarking on currently. It was interesting re-reading some entries and how they are parallel to current events. Many entries written in pencil I decided I’ll just erase them and use the journal for my current journey. It was a process erasing the entries, but I went through and anything I wanted to keep I typed electronic copies.

I was chatting with some friends online and I had mentioned twice, once to each of them, the word “transformative.” It feels to me on a microcosmic scale to be true and I see this reflected in some of my friends’ experiences also.  The same night I caught a Facebook live broadcast of a friend and psychic/medium, Allison Boswell, was pulling some cards.  Lucky me, though this was no coincidence, a card was pulled for me: Transformation.  Everything Allison said was hitting the nail on the head.  This was confirmation that I am heading in the right direction.  I continued to listen to her broadcast and reading for others in the background as I worked cleaning this journal.  She mentioned in the next reading, as I was literally doing this task, erasing the past and rewriting your story… another BAM.

I finally get my book ready to be re-written in.  I plan on using tarot as a tool for further insight as it will show me things in an undeniable way.  I have several decks and I was having a hard time choosing which one I should use.  I was thinking Dark Carnival Tarot or Tarot of Sex Magic.  They are very specific decks, while they felt right they also felt as though they didn’t quite fit my purpose.  My son came with me to the tarot shelf.  He mentioned the Golden Tarot.  I told him the story about this deck and how I forgot I even owned it and just recently found it in this bag.  I lift the bag up, take the deck out, and hand it to my son.  As I’m telling him that he can have the deck if he wants it I noticed a little baggie and a tissue paper wrapped thing in the bottom of the bag.

The baggie has two small blue-green obsidian pieces and the tissue is wrapped around an aragonite piece.  It took a moment but my son and I remembered getting these things.  The obsidian was his and the aragonite was mine.  This is great as I’ve been working to get all the crystals in the same spot.  When it came to the tarot deck selection I input all the deck titles into a random name selector.  Dark Carnival Tarot popped up first.  I decided to do a top 3.  Mythic Tarot was number two and lastly Tarot of Sex Magic; 2/3 ain’t bad, another BAM.

I will leave this entry off on this note, as it is already quite wordy and there is so much more.  Just so many synchronicities I can’t possibly list them all!

On-Going Lessons: August 5 & 6

The other night I was on the phone talking about archangels with a close friend of mine. We discussed whether an archangel can be a spirit guide of sorts or whether they are too busy for our petty human lives. Many people call upon archangels, especially Michael. I have stated in a previous post that I was not always open to angels. These were not things I resonated with. As I’ve been growing, learning, and expanding I more and more see the value in working with these beings.

Several times AA Gabriel and AA Michael has come to me. In several readings I have done for my friend whom I was on the phone with Gabriel has attended those readings, or showed up closely after. In an angel reading I received from an different friend Michael was drawn, then her intuition told her to draw another, which of course was Gabriel.

Through a series of synchcronistic events I came into possession of an Archangel Gabriel oracle deck. I knew as I continued on my creative writing journey that I would want to see little messages from him. Unfortunately, the cards kept giving me repeaters: Daily Practice, Creative Writing, and Journaling. Which I had been adamant to follow, especially getting the Creative Writing from a completely different person with a completely different deck. After the phone call with my dear friend I had decided that I’m pulling out the Gabriel cards to see if there is finally a new message for me.

I received Classes, Creative Expression, and Writers’ Group. Which they all resonated very nicely with me. I have been working on getting out there more, I have attended some classes, and want to attend more (I’m working to get Reiki certification), and the possibility of teaching has come across to me more than once. Creative Expression completely falls in line and a good indicator to continue doing what I’m doing. Writers’ Group… never thought of it to be honest, however it did cross my mind to start a local spiritual support group.
The next day my dear friend whom I was on the phone to the night before posted an article on the Full Moon affecting the zodiac signs. I always take this with a grain of salt, yet I still read them (those nuggets of truth can be found in the unlikeliest of places). 

Sorry Sagittarius, the school of hard knocks is calling and you’ve been enrolled. The 2017 Sturgeon Moon and lunar eclipse will be a time of difficult learning for Sagittarius, according to Darkstar Astrology. So, what will you learn while this cosmic class is in session?

“You can work on your communication and try to be more open with what you need to express,” The Dark Pixie Astrology explained. “You may need to share something important, and you can work on being understood and listening more. You can be more mentally active, and you can find the right way to say what you feel.”[1]

While I hated the tone of the horoscope, as it made it sound dire and I was looking at it quite positively, it was totally in line with the cards I drew the previous night. The message of class and expression. Not to mention the sharing aspect, which Spirit pushes me to do endlessly.

To touch on the original topic of why archangels are in the forefront of my mind and the subject of this post. Do I think that an archangel can be a spirit guide? Sure, why not?! So many things are possible that our limited human minds do not always conceive. I also believe there are people that lean too much on the archangels and ignore the other choirs of angels that are there to help, as well as ignoring other guides and totems that assist in this spiritual-human journey. Do not discredit the other energetic beings that are helping and guiding us.

My main spirit guide (I call him my main because I have strongest connection with him) recently told me that he will not be helping me with something. I was looking for messages in regards to a 3rd party personal matter that I won’t get into, but I will say that when I asked my guide to help me he flat out told me he will not be helping me with those kinds of work. He has previously helped me with card readings and other things so I found this very rude to say the least. He explained I had other guides that would help with that and to talk to the angels. It wasn’t even that he couldn’t help me, but that he wouldn’t help me. Thanks.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hah

[1] What Does The 2017 Sturgeon Moon Mean For Your Sign? This Is A Big Event, Guys, August 3, 2017, Brandi Neal. https://www.bustle.com/p/what-does-the-2017-sturgeon-moon-mean-for-your-sign-this-is-a-big-event-guys-71753

On-Going Lessons: Week of July 17, 2017

This was written by me a few weeks ago. Some of you who know me will have already heard/read this . However, being called to share these exact type of things. 

Daily practice. Daily practice is sooo important. Whatever it is you want to be good at. Whoever the person is that you want to be. Practice it daily. Even if only for a few minutes of the day.

Be open. Angels – not something that has resonated with me… now seems to be resonating. Being open to learning, to new things. Just because you know something, and have known something for 20, 30, 40 years… there is STILL something to be learned. There are always nuggets of truth and wisdom to be found in everyone’s bullshit. Once you believe you’re an expert, the energy goes stagnant. Be open to things you think you can’t learn from.

I am magical. I am powerful. Those moments where I feel like an absurd whack-a-doo have been some of the times that have proven to be my most accurate. Remember the times of accuracy to remain empowered. Times of error or inaccuracy are there for a learning experience. Nothing is lost or wasted.

There is only the now-moment. Across all time and space, through all our lifetimes, there is only the now-moment. All of it is happening now. We are alive, we are dead, we are the leaders, we are the peasants. We are all of it happening now.

Let go of letting go. Let go of the idea of “letting go.” Getting too wrapped up in whether you are holding on too tight, or getting wrapped up in the “how-to” of letting go… it all just does the opposite. To truly let go is to not even have the idea of letting go, because whatever it is you’re holding onto will have already moved on, hence no need to even think of “letting go.” You cannot release something that you have never even held.

Send reiki to your morning coffee.
