Daily Oracle Card...30 Jun 11: Mother Healing

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Magical Mermaid and Dolphins Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


By receiving this card, Heaven asks you to release some remaining "mother issues."  Give the entire situation to Heaven, knowing that everything is in the hands of Infinite Spirit.  The situation may heal in unexpected ways.  Be unconcerned with how it heals, and be vigilant in releasing any lower energies connected to your mother that could interfere with your life's mission.
 
By releasing any mother issues to Heaven, your heart opens further to accepting joy and blessings into your life.  Your mother benefits when you're happy, whether or not she's consciously aware of it.  Be willing to forgive and release old issues relating to yourself, your mother, mother figures, or anyone connected to your mother.  By cleaning your inner house, you invite new love, opportunities, abundance, and healing energy to enter your life.

Daily Oracle Card...29 Jun 11: The Prison Waif (self-sabotage, poverty consciousness...Ally)

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Colette Baron-Reid's "Wisdom of the Hidden Realms Oracle Cards" deck.   This is my only deck where the meaning of the card depends on if it was pulled upside down or in the upright position.  Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Ally (upright) 
 
When the Prison Waif arrives in his realm as your Ally, he comes to remind you of the Law of Paradoxical Intent.  Your own self-sabotaging thoughts and hidden beliefs are, in fact, preventing you from your highest good.  You might believe that you're doing all you can to manifest your reality, but perhaps you're giving in to thoughts such as the following: 
  • I can't do this.
  • I'm unworthy.
  • I'll fail, so why try?
  • I don't deserve this.
  • I'm unlovable.
In fact, you're locked in a prison of your own making.  That's good news, because it means you have the key to let yourself out.  This is a sign that you need to spend some time with yourself addressing those beliefs that counter your hard work to get ahead.  You can change them if you want to. You don't want to stay in prison, do you?
 
Take inventory of your thoughts, let yourself out of jail, and spend a few minutes outdoors in gratitude.  It's time to let the sunshine in.

Daily Oracle Card...28 Jun 11: Take the Lead

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


You're intuitively beginning to find your way.  Notice what part of your life leaves you so confident that you no longer feel the need to ask for outside approval.  What qualities inspire others to compliment you for your bright energy?
Your soul's purpose right now is to trust your creativity and elevate your confidence.  Let your natural beauty, grace, talent, and wisdom take over.  Don't wait for others; take the lead.  Allow your optimism to carry you past the dreary scene of the moment, keeping you on track with your soul's path and pulling others out of the shadows and back to center as well.
Your soul's lesson:  Allow your love of life to prevail over current negativity and cynicism.  Be the beacon that eliminates your darkness and ignites the sleepy imaginations of those around you---not to show off or be the center of attention, but as a leader who keeps others from losing heart and spirit.  So shine on and spread your wings.  Don't wait to be invited; let your light speak for itself.

Archangel Raphael sends this card to inspire you to increase your prayers surrounding your health question.   This may mean putting requests into prayer groups, such as those associated with churches or temples.  It also calls for you to pray more personally and to ask your spiritually minded loved ones to join you.

Daily Oracle Card...25 Jun 11: Water

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Magical Unicorns Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


To feel good, your body needs to have water and foods that have water in them, such as fresh fruits and vegetables.  This card asks you to drink a lot more water as a way to fuel your energy.  When your body doesn't have enough water, you may feel tired and not be able to think well.  So, carry a water bottle with you, and drink from it a lot.
 
When you drink water and eat fruits and vegetables, you'll have a lot more energy and feel happier.  Stay away from foods that have sugar.  Even though sugar tastes good, notice how your body feels after you eat it: You'll find that your body gets tired soon after you eat sweetened foods.  A better way to enjoy this taste is to eat ripe fruits.
 
This card can also mean that swimming or bathing in water would make you feel happy and healthy.  You can also pray over your drinking water and food, and the prayers will make your meals even more healthful and tasty.
 
By eating and drinking fruits, vegetables, and water, your skin will look good, you'll feel good, and other people will soon ask what your secret is!

Daily Oracle Card...24 Jun 11: Body Care

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


The angels urge you to care for your physical body.  You are asked to eat healthful foods, to exercise regularly, and to avoid toxins.
 
This card is your angels' way of asking you to pay attention to your physical body.  Perhaps you resist this guidance, and the angels have repeatedly come to you about this topic.  They remind you that the body is an instrument that, when well tuned, emanates greater harmony.  Your spirit is like the music of a grand piano, and the angels remind you to maintain that piano.
 
Your angels know that if you follow this guidance, you will feel terrific.  Your increased energy and happiness is your reward for following the angels' suggestions.  They will help you find the time and motivation to exercise.  They will also help you lose your cravings for unhealthful substances.  And, the angels will help you enjoy the newfound pleasures that come from purifying and maintaining your physical body.

Daily Oracle Card...23 Jun 11: Soul's Path

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Steven D. Farmer's "Power Animal Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


It's time to stop fooling yourself and get moving on your soul's path.  Pay close attention to the subtleties of your experience; and listen very, very carefully to those urgings that are begging you to honor the deepest truth of who you are---not what you think everyone else will approve of, but the path that heeds the voice of your soul that's been calling to you since before you were born.
 
Every experience up to this point in your life has shaped you, and even the lives that you've lived before exert their karmic influence.  At this point, you can no longer live your life driven solely by ego.  Instead, it's important to consciously and consistently attune to your most profound sense of self and align with Spirit's intent.  It will take courage and faith to dive into these depths, but you have indeed funded the power and the strength to do so.  Claim the destiny that you know is yours, and act on it now!
 
Additional Associations:  Migration; Devotion; Communication; Soul Memory

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "Ask Your Guides Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Patience*  Practice*  Reevaluation*  Assessment
 
Your Creativity Guides are advising you that there's no way to avoid risk if you wish to live a creative life.  Stop worrying about making right or wrong choices, and view all of them as creative opportunities.  Be glad that you have the freedom to make choices at all, and realize that no matter what you choose, you'll create something.  If you don't like the result, then simply go back to the drawing board and make new and, hopefully, better choices.
 
Your Creativity Guides remind you not to look at life in terms of black and white, me against you, all or nothing.  You're a creative spirit regardless of what else is going on in your life.  Assess your creations with appreciation and respect.  Whether good, bad, or indifferent, they all reflect your creativity.  Celebrate everything you enjoy, and don't fret over the rest.  See your less desirable creations as interesting rough drafts, and follow your Creativity Guides' advice:  "Go back to the drawing board."

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


The fairies love to play musical instruments; and they know that consistent practice increases their enjoyment, confidence, and competency.  In the same vein, you received this card because you've asked how to accomplish something.  The answer is for you to invest time practicing and working on your goal daily.  Even a few minutes will add up to big progress---for example, writing one page a day will lead to a complete book by the end of the year.  Push yourself to practice, beginning today!
 
Additional meanings for this card:  Take up a new hobby or skill*  Join a class to learn something new*  Open a private practice conducting healings or other one-on-one work*  Take private lessons to polish your skills*  It's time to showcase your talents publicly*  Take active steps toward your goal in order to realize your dreams.

Daily Oracle Card...18 Jun 11: Goddess

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Angel Therapy Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


This card speaks of a need for sacred female energy, which brings gifts such as intuition, nurturing, and artistic expression.  Perhaps you've been spending too much time thinking or engaging in creatively void work.  If so, then this card is your signal to move your body in dance; and express your intuitive, artistic, and nurturing side.
 
You're also guided to call on benevolent female deities for help with the situation you're inquiring about.  You can call upon Lakshmi, the beloved Hindu goddess who helps with abundance; Brigit, the Celtic goddess of healing and courage; Mother Mary, the saint who guides our children; Athena, the Grecian goddess of wisdom; the Egyptian goddess Isis, who helps women juggle home and family; or any of the thousands of other trustworthy and sacred feminine deities.
 
Action Steps
Within every woman are three parts of the goddess:  Maiden (inner child, at times pure and at other times adventurous and bold); Mother (nurturing qualities); and Matriarch (the teacher).  Men have analogous inner qualities of the Lad, the Dad, and the Patriarch.  It's important to express each of these three parts daily.  This helps to balance playfulness with work and relationships.  Spend time each day expressing all three characteristics, and notice how much more energized and balanced you feel.

Daily Oracle Card...17 Jun 11: Roadrunner (quit taking everything so seriously)

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Steven D. Farmer's "Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


It's so tempting to view life in all of its many manifestations, permutations, and variations as something to be taken quite seriously, yet this is exactly the opposite of what you need to do right now.  No matter what the situation, look for the humor in it.  It may take time to find something, but if you look for it with this attitude in mind, you begin to see the absurdities and ironies inherent in whatever shows up in life, even in the seemingly darkest circumstances.  Maintaining a healthy sense of humor about most experiences causes you to be lighter in spirit, to smile unabashedly, and to appreciate life that much more.  Turn that scowl upside down by doing what makes you openly laugh!
 
Of course there are certainly times that require a more serious demeanor.  Tragedies or traumatic experiences don't call for cheerfulness and humor.  When these events occur, appropriate social restrictions apply that demand the expression of emotions congruent with the circumstances.  However, these instances are temporary and like all things, will soon pass.  Other than these kinds of situations, life's ironies and absurdities abound.  Rather than feeling personally victimized by these vagaries, take a deep breath, see the humor in the situation, and have a good laugh!
 
Associations:  Speed; Agility; Multitasking; Intelligence; Adaptability; Laughter; Humor; Ingenuity; Flexibility; Toning; Communication; Courage; Self-Care; Balance

Daily Oracle Card...16 Jun 11: Easy Does it

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Nurturing a cause or a relationship is a long-term commitment, and one that can't be rushed.  This level of devotion comes from a place of deep loving and concern.  I care what happens to my planet and to my loved ones so much that I'm willing to stick with them through thick and thin.  This isn't always easy, but to me, it's the only way to ensure that matters are resolved and healed.  I listen to the passionate stirrings of my heart.  I reach out and take action to let my loved ones know that I deeply care about them.  I take action to spur on my pet causes.  Never mind what other people think; you will benefit by carrying through with your priorities.  You'll feel so good about yourself if you make time for the relationships and projects that truly count in your heart.  Do what's important to you, and do it with absolute devotion!  But remember that there's no competition for your true life's purpose, so there's no need to worry, hurry, or feel that you have to force things to happen.
 
Various meanings of this card:  Don't worry about your purpose or your goals*  Make no sudden moves*  Slow, steady progress is best right now*  Ease into your new life instead of rushing into it*  Do your new work as a part-time venture to begin with, while slowly exiting your old career.

You deserve this time of victory.  Your unwavering focus and dedication have resulted in blissful manifestation.  Peace and pleasant feelings are yours right now.  Let your focus be on this present moment, and savor each feeling and experience fully.  Know that the future is taken care of in a positive way, as you allow yourself to enjoy the present moment.  Feel good about who you are, and know that your success benefits others.

Daily Oracle Card...14 Jun 11: Passion

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Steven D. Farmer's "Power Animal Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


The winding road of your life, with all its twists and turns, expected and unexpected, has brought you to this point.  You're faring quite well, yet, there's an urgent need that you're feeling in your bones and your soul---the need to express more and more fluently your true self, your inner core.  It's so much safer and in some ways easier to deny yourself the fruits of following your true passion.  Questions of safety and survival abound by stepping into this total expression of who you truly are.  Let them remain as questions, cast them aside, and embrace what turns you on.

Once you've discovered what your true passion is---and you probably already know what it is---by honoring it and living it, all else will be taken care of.  Does that surprise you?  Challenge you?  Trust that your inner yearning is real, and express it, if not all at once, then gradually---but express it.  Don't worry about how it will look to others or whether or not anyone at all would approve.  When it comes to the end of your days, you will be able to say with all sincerity and without reservation that you lived your life passionately and in truth!
Additional Associations:  Sensuality; Strength; Clarity; Solitude

Daily Oracle Card...13 Jun 11: Take a Step Back

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Do you feel that you have pressing matters too great to decide?  Are you fearful of making the wrong choice with possible negative repercussions?  It's true that you're at a decisive crossroads in your life, and your actions will lead to significant changes.
 
Therefore, take a step back and review your options thoroughly.  You're entering a new stage of soul maturity, and the decisions you make now will influence your life for the next several years.  Do know, however, that you're more than capable of picking the best course of action if you give yourself enough time.  Just don't rush.
 
Your soul's purpose right now is to make your decisions with the sole intention of serving your Higher Self.  Never mind your security or your obligations to others.  Serving your spirit will address them far more effectively than your ego ever can, and will also make you secure in your own skin.
 
Your soul's lesson:  Sit quietly in meditation at the foot of your Inner Teacher and pray.  Dissolve your attachment to the expectations of the world, however pressing, and listen to your soul.  Pray for the stillness of mind in order to receive the counsel and guidance that comes from your Higher Self...and for the strength to follow it.

Daily Oracle Card...12 Jan 11: The Sun Dancers (joyful activity, celebration of life, abundance...Challenger)

The Challenger (reverse) 


Beware of losing yourself in your dreams of the future when the Sun Dancers come to challenge you.  Their message is sweet and simple: stop what you're doing and go have some fun.  Celebrate what is and don’t worry about what will be or what could be.  Be here and now...just be, just for today.


You will find your answers, but only after you've made time to play.  Tomorrow, after all, is another day, and the sun will rise again to shed its warmth and light on all that needs clarity.  You can count on it.

In the past, you may have seen yourself as insignificant.  This cards asks you to release any thoughts or feelings of inferiority.  Truly believe that you are utterly qualified for any endeavor you can dream about!

Write down a list of your fears about moving forward, and then "drown" those fears by putting the paper into a bucket or large bowl of water.  Then, take a cleansing shower, bath, or swim.  The water seals your new way of seeing yourself....as you are in truth: an equal to all other children of God.

Daily Oracle Card...10 Jun 11: Balance

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Has your schedule been lopsided lately?  Be sure to balance your time between work, play, spirituality, exercise, and relationships.


The angels know that you're busy, with many Earthly demands on your time.  They want to help you with your responsibilities through the process of balance.  Whenever our schedules become disproportionate, our energy drops.  Lowered energy creates the illusion that there isn't enough time in the day, so a vicious cycle of time limitation ensues.


Your angels ask you to add regular doses of meditation, exercise, and play to your days.  They know that balancing your life between work, play, spirituality, exercise, and relationships helps you to grow and feel joy.  If you feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, don't hesitate to ask God and your angels to lift your burden.

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Doreen Virtue's "Messages from Your Angels Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment




Additional Message:  "You may feel sad, as if your heart is breaking, as a result of this ending.  Allow yourself to cry and grieve, but know that we angels are near you right now.  When you are ready, we will gently show you how this ending brings new blessings into your life.  But for now, the sadness that you feel may reveal new insights to you.  It might inspire you to finish a project where you have been procrastinating, or to take better care of yourself, for example.
"It is important for you to express your feelings during this time of transition.  Either keep a journal, talk to trusted friends, join a support group, or discuss everything with us angels.  The more that you can release, the freer that you will feel.  Watch out for self-destructive tendencies, which can arise from misguided guilt.  I will help you take excellent care of yourself during this transition if you will call upon me.  Whenever you need a hug, just ask, and you will feel me envelop you with my wings."

Daily Oracle Card...7 Jun 11: Blow Off Some Steam

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "The Answer is Simple Oracle Cards" deck.   Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website at:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


Whoa!  Easy now.  Your ego is feeling threatened, so it has moved into "fight or flight," filling your body with adrenaline, making you ready to come out boxing.  When your body is flooded with this hormone, it's difficult to connect with your Spirit, because you're filled with fear.  In this state, you're likely to make rash decisions, say things you don't mean, draw conclusions that aren't accurate, and overreact.
 
The best way to reconnect with your Spirit and find the correct course of action at this time is to blow off some steam.  Go to the gym and punch a bag.  Hop in the shower and scream at the top of your lungs.  Visit the seashore and yell into the wind.
 
Tell the Universe how you feel.  Grumble to the heavens and let it all out.  If this isn't possible, get a journal and write down your anxieties and frustrations.  Spare no detail.  Vent until the adrenaline inside is burned up and you begin to calm down.
 
Make no decisions while you're riled up.  Stay off the phone.  Refrain from sending e-mails---no text messages either.  Wait until you have clarity before you act.  As your fear subsides, your Spirit will emerge.  Just be mindful not to vent or lash out at innocent people.  Take your frustrations and anger to a neutral place and release them there.  Also, be conscious not to hold in your anxiety and stress, denying that it's there.  This, too, blocks your Spirit and hurts your body. 
 
Go ahead---find a safe way to blow off some steam.  It will help shed the light of Spirit onto the situation.

You're fairly certain about your next move, and you received this card as additional validation which will spur you into action.  This card confirms that your intuition is accurate, and that you can trust it fully.
 
The joy you feel, knowing that your intuitive feelings are valid, may be tempered by the fear of making life changes.  Heaven wants you to know, however, that all of the details are being taken care of.  You're supported in all ways as long as you ask for help and then accept it as it comes to you in various forms.

Daily Oracle Card...5 Jun 11: Mentors and Role Models

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "Trust Your Vibes Oracle Cards" deck.  Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


If you've heard that being intuitive is a special gift only for a select few, then you've been misinformed.  Once you start paying attention to your vibes, you'll see that there are creative, artful, six-sensory people all around, and they look normal except for one thing---they shine.  If you hesitate to step out of the closet as a six-sensory person, look for these mentors to inspire you to navigate the psychic highway with more confidence and ease.  Seek out public people who demonstrate that being six-sensory can indeed be graceful, creative, supportive, and fun.


Role models for intuitive living are not that hard to find.  They're the people who are ethical, humanitarian, and spontaneous.  Their auras sparkle, they laugh out loud, and their enthusiasm for life is infectious.  They listen, follow their heart, trust their feelings, speak their truth, and act on their instincts without hesitation.  And they encourage you to do the same.  Ask them what their secret is, and inevitably they will say, "I trust my vibes."

Daily Oracle Card...4 Jun 11: Solitude

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Steven D. Farmer's "Earth Magic Oracle Cards" deck.  Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


The solitary tree on this island surrounded by the glassy sea can evoke different feelings depending on one's perception and beliefs.  The tree which is in full blossom, stands out amid the relative starkness, and is illuminated by a beam of light emerging from the otherwise dark sky.  It's an elegant reminder of how even in what might appears to be relatively barren circumstances, there is still beauty and growth.


Although an island like this can be a metaphor for isolation and desolation, the thriving tree proves that even in the harshest of environments, there is Life.  We can see the tree's spiderlike roots spreading out along the rocks, seeking nourishment from the moist soil.  The sense of peace and solitude depicted in this image provides nourishment for the soul.


You need to take some time for solitude, preferably in silence.  Spend the morning, afternoon, or even the entire day by yourself, completely unplanned and unstructured.  The bombardment of your senses by the noise and intensity of society leaves you on alert far more than is necessary.  The vibration of millions of people's worry and fear throughout the world can impinge upon you and greatly affect you if you do not honor your need to pull back from time to time.


When you have passed through any self-constructed barriers to enjoying the quiet peace of solitude, it will serve you best if you simply observe the thoughts and emotions that pass through you, especially those that cause shortness of breath or a quickening heartbeat.  Remember that isolation is experienced not by choice, but out of fear.  When you decide to spend time with yourself in solitude, however, you are choosing to once again find and connect with who you really are.

Finding Compassion Amidst Untruths

When people lie, it never really is about sparing your feelings or not wanting to hurt you, as you have been told when the truth finally comes out.  It's always about the person doing the lying.  They are trying to cover their own feelings and belief of inadequacies with outward illusions.  They are also afraid of the possible consequences of their own truths such as the fear of being rejected, have anger directed towards them, or being thought less of.

When people lie to us, our egos flare up, our feelings are bruised, and we say, "How DARE he/she lie to me! How could I be such a fool to have trusted them?!"

Take ego out of the equation and see these lies for what they really are.  Depersonalize them and realize that the lies were never about you....even if it appears to be so because it feels manipulative.  When you see how difficult it must be to always live in fear of speaking the truth, and how little confidence they must have within themselves to not live aligned with their integrity to where they must keep lying or making things up to look better on surface appearances.....it really isn't that hard to find compassion for them.  It doesn't mean they will change, but it will help you find peace and center within the situation, which is a lot better than holding resentment and anger.

Daily Oracle Card...3 Jun 11: Share a Breath

Today's card (with book meaning) was drawn from Sonia Choquette's "Trust Your Vibes Oracle Cards" deck.  Join me on Facebook under Christine Watts Awakening Empowerment or visit my website:  Christine Watts Intuitive Services: Awakening your inner light and empowerment


One of the best ways to open up positive communication and good vibrations with others is to share a breath.  Observe their breathing pattern and match it with your own.  Do this for four or five breaths, longer if possible.  You can enhance this rapport by breathing deeply in through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth.  This relaxes your muscles, relieves tension, and opens your fifth chakra, or communication center, to a higher vibration.  Sharing a breath is particularly effective when you feel anxious, or are having difficulty understanding or agreeing with another.  It's a powerful technique in diffusing conflicts because your spirits connect and establish a common vibration, making for harmony in thought and emotion.

A shared breath is a shared spirit and invites solution, creativity, and cooperation to any situation.  This is exactly what is needed right now.

Don't Become What you Hate.........

............become what you LOVE.


If you hate being gossiped about, do not in turn gossip or listen to gossip about others.

If you hate people who lie, do not speak untruths yourself.

If you hate being broke all of the time, do not think or speak poorly, or of lack.

If you hate people who judge, do not in turn judge them or others.

If you hate injustice, do not treat others unfairly yourself.

Thoughts are so powerful and it's amazing how much time and energy we use to focus on the things we can't stand, rather than the things we love!  What bothers us is usually something we are guilty of ourselves.  Because so much focus is put into this, we become that which we don't like.

Turn it around and become that which you love!  If you think that's easier said than done, think again.  All it takes is a shift in perception and what you choose to put your focus on.  Love and hate are both two very passionate emotions.  They really aren't different in intensity, so it's up to you which emotion you choose to align with.

If you love people who help others, be inspired to reach out and help others as well.

If you love music, set aside time during your day or night to be in the midst of it.  I bet you will find your creative juices flowing and new ideas and inspirations coming to you!

If you love the idea of being financially stable, think thoughts of abundance.

If you love beauty, let your thoughts and words be beautiful.

Let your inner light shine, and if you shift the opposite way......don't worry about it.  Just choose in the very next moment to change your mind and begin anew.
