Signs

I can be slow to pick up on the subtleties of life on the best of days, when others are trying to get something across to me, and sometimes even slower when spirit is trying to communicate with me. Spirit usually starts small and the message gets louder and louder, until I feel like my guides are hitting me over the head with it.

I try to stay mindful, pray, clear and shield. I like to think I am a clear channel for spirit. I like to think I listen, and most importantly trust.I feel called to write this because I’ve been mulling over the times when don’t I listen, where are my blind spots, and how do I manifest a small whisper becoming a full-blown roar.

For some spirit 'speaks' to them through butterflies, others feathers. The Native community see spirit messages through animals, birds, and fish. Others see the star seed planets and orbits or auras. Wow.

There are the physical divination practices which invite spirit to work with you in a very specific way, like reading tea leaves, palms, the tarot, and pendulum.

Sometimes spirit will communicate with you in your dreams, through a stranger on the bus, and for me spirit likes to send me the messages through the art wall at Value Village (out of body experience, let me tell you).

Communication skills are challenging enough in our tech savvy world, never mind with ourselves, or neighbors or colleuges at work.  How do we begin to stay deliberate in our dance with the spirit world?

A friend of mine told me that he had not found any dimes recently, which are his sign from his brother. He then went on to say he has a rabbit on his front porch, mice at the cottage, and his girlfriend really, really wants a puppy. I asked him if he looks for signs ‘other’ than dimes, like animals trying to say hey! Pay attention to this! He thought I was nuts. So, it made me think, where am I not paying attention…what don’t I know? Just when I had things all figured out my guides told me…to pay attention and look again.

There is always room for improvement and practice when it comes to listening skills, on all levels and dimensions. 

If you are reading this article, the spirit message is to look for messages and signs where you wouldn't normally expect them, and seek out unexplored and unusual practioners you normally wouldn't go to, or pick up a book and try a new divination technique. 

Anyone and everyone can read tarot (tea leaves, palms, .....), especially you!

The Magician ( 1 energy) - Welcome New Nine Year Cycle

The new year is here as personified in the tarot card the Magician. The Magician, is an experimenter, they/he/she doesn’t think too much, the divine spark is ignited and there is no fear of error. The Magician, has no fear, just enthusiasm for change, abundant creativity, and an innate knowingness that they will be given all that is needed, whether it be ideas (swords), resources (pentacles), ideas (swords), and the emotional intelligence (cups). It is the garden in the spring, full of promise and opportunities.

Calling in the Magician can help you overcome any inertia that has been lagging around you. You will be forced to get off the couch and do those dishes. Now is the time to get rid of anything you haven’t used or worn in the last year or more. Declutter the old to make way for the new.

With the Magician, you can finally focus on those changes you’ve wanted to make like quitting smoking or going to the gym. It is time to go to the Dr. and face the truth of any health issues  you have not been able to face or deal with up to now, now is the time, and you will call in the help you need.

If you hear  yourself saying, 'Hey! What about me?!' The magician is around. Hey! What ABOUT you?? You can't help others if you can't pay the rent. You may feel selfish, but it's time to look out for and take care of yourself.

Maybe your head is still reeling from the changes around you. Relationships and situations that were mutually serving are not longer healthy. Give thanks and when you don't understand the choices of the people around you, it is time to focus on WHAT YOU ARE DOING, and they will go away.

This energy would constitute as 'EARTH' energy. It is a low earth vibration. Gardening, doing anything physical, getting into your body and moving, however slowly, and connecting with the earth, and nature, will all bring you into your natural self, and self care.

I just finished watching the movie ‘The Big Short’. Amazing how individuals, communities, and countries will continue to deny what is right in front of them until everything falls to pieces, and they must begin again. What is the divinity, the presence of spirit when everything around us falls to dust? As we begin again the ‘Angel Sandalphon’ is with us, he is the twin brother of Metatron, who reminds us of the power of prayer, the power of our thoughts, and the power of our beliefs in what we are manifesting in our lives. I invite you to research Sandalphon, walk with Sandalphon, and give your inner Captain Picard a try, ‘Make it so’.

I’ve been shown in the last few weeks, that it is important to have fun and remember to play! New beginnings and choices should be made from a place of love and joy – not the alternative…f-e-a-r.

* This is an excellent time to have FUN with a vision board for each area of your life. If you need more guidance, the following is one of my favourite books. My only advice is be very specific, because it works.

Other fun activities to bring new abundance into your life is starting a daily gratitude journal or a gratitude jar. My previous blog post includes a fun 'Abundance Decree' to read OUT LOUD, that will also call in all good things.  

I wish you and our communities all the best as we move forward into these new healthy beginnings, with love and joy…
