Magic Prayer

Each Morning I ask for guidance from my cards to post on my Facebook Fan page. This morning was not different. But, as always, it was.

Upon opening my page, I say a post on one of my news feeds talking about what I, too, have experienced to be a theme of many at this time. Mechelle wrote,

"Things change in our lives. Sometimes we are tested to see how strong our faith is. It is a test of how much you will give and how much you will receive.

There is a balance we must achieve to enjoy life to the fullest. We have to learn to be still and let the World move around us while we watch." She then began a prayer circle. This Prayer Circle is Powerful and indeed Magical. 

I went outside for a bit and when I came back in, I decided to pull a card from my pile. With synchronicity on my side, the card that I chose was Magic Prayer. There is indeed a theme and a reminder. 

Mechelle's post today was also consistent with the card draw on my page, which is the Snake. The balancing theme is Peaks of Joy.  With that, I wrote,

♡ ﾚo√乇 ♡ The Wisdom of the Snake, with a reminder of the Joy that exists within and around ♡

♡ ﾚo√乇 ♡ Change has been set in motion. This is a time of Transformation. This is a time of hope, love, and faith, which comes from the Power Within; Creative, Intuitive Energy and Spiritual Guidance. Ask to be gentle and kind during this time. Important lessons of the Universe have been experienced, the old ways, thought patterns are being shed. Be sensitive to the healing within, always sending love to any pain that you may be experiencing. Send light and love to the lessons as you heal within and prepare to move forward.

♡ ﾚo√乇 ♡ The Snake represents Spiritual Guidance on a Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Level. You are reminded, at this time, to pay attention to how you use your energy and where you draw it from. The reminder is to see and draw from the Joy within and around ♡ Seek to see the beauty and love all around. It is always there. Hope Faith and Trust, always ♡

 

                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Believe. Believe deep within, with every ounce of your being, with every muscle in your body, with every word that you speak, every song that you sing, every tear that you shed, that your prayers have been heard and will be answered. Then love yourself, knowing that you are worthy and deserving.  The is the Beauty and Magic of Prayer. 

The truth is that we are whole. The truth is that we are perfect, in every moment. The truth is that we are love. The truth is that there is power in prayer. The truth is that only love exists.

the House Where Hope Lived

There has been much going on for me over the past month. I never really understood 'writer's block'

until now. Mostly because I write upon inspiration or rather, thoughts of inspiration.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have given many insightful readings. Typically, this has lead me to an inspirational comment. I have realized that my 'gift' is separate from my writing. Not sure if that makes sense to you, cause I am not sure if it makes sense to me.  I guess it's because I am able to read no matter what, the messages always come to me. This is probably the first time in my life that my current circumstances have held my thoughts hostage. The CrossRoads, of sorts.

But true to who I am, once I understood what the experience, the lesson, was, I was able to move past. Good news.

We recently moved out of our home. This was a home that I so dearly loved. I loved the freedom, I loved the beauty, the sunsets, the sunrises, the flowers, and most especially, I loved the birds. This was the place that I had dreamed of creating my retreat. It was perfect.

Having said that, I knew that there were 'things' that I would like to change, such as, I wanted to be close to water, a pond or stream would do, and we wanted more wooded area. But, I thought, it would all do. If we built it....

So this past week, I had to drive past the house twice. The first time, I thought, why not? And then I began to cry. The second time, it occurred to me that the reason that I was crying and so upset, was that it felt as if my hopes and dreams were lost when we sold that house.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a positive person. It felt, if but for only a moment, that this too was lost.       

The Gift is that once we understand, once we see what is before us, we can then move forward with change. And so with this I did. I first embraced the feelings. I gave them love. I was then able to move forward. <3 Love <3

Move forward I did... My mind, my thoughts have been exploding once again. I LOVE this feeling! 
I say this often, we are all unique and special. I say it because I believe it! No other person offers what you offer. No other.  

I fully understood that with two separate experiences. I post many pictures of the sunset. It's because I am stunned each day with its beauty, with the colours. But NOW that we have moved to the water, the colours rising to the sunset, each and every day are so different, so spectacular, each in their own way! Each Sunset is Unique ♡ Carrying Within It, It's Own Beauty♡

Such are all of us. THAT was the reminder.

Then as I stood watching the water flow last evening I was reminded of the the flow of life. Life goes on. It always does. The Spirit of Water, Intuitive, Artistic, Passionate, Empathetic. 

My beautiful niece, Kalli, wrote this last night, "Life goes on... Whether you choose to move on, and take a chance on the unknown. Or stay behind, locked in the past, thinking of what could've been, or what you have done." 

Water reminds us of the Ebb and Flow, the Current. Some days the wind brings great waves, other days, there is a calm, peaceful stillness ☆ but it is ever flowing. The water doesn't seem to mind. There is a great power in this understanding. Tides change, bringing challenge and opportunity. 
Each drop knowing, that it is part of the whole, that without each individual drop, there would be no lake. They work together creating a unity. Beauty

Whatever life brings, we choose. We move on. We continue. Love always. I belong to the most loving and compassionate groups on facebook. It is a group that offers and exhibits unconditional love and peacefulness. Today, I wrote a message to the many on the page, 

"This is not new to me or to you, but I just had a Yay Me Moment... it came to me when I was handling a situation. Being tired of the circumstances, I thought, "I can't do this anymore!" I went on to say my prayer, when it occurred to me/reminded me, that I had to change the words (only I have that power) so I did,

☆I CAN handle this!☆Still with a prayer, but also with a little smile!

I realized that my 'Field of Dreams' was wherever I am.
Where there is Faith, there is Hope

Namaste and Love, Lori
