Releasing the old to embrace the new

Every day I pick a few cards from my divination decks and sometimes they really speak to me. Not that they don’t always have some sort of divine message for me but there are days when the message is clearer than others and today is one of those days.

I have been flailing around trying to find a steady ground upon which to anchor but like it or not, this is a time in my life when challenges are occurring on all fronts. Funnily enough though the first card I pulled talked about female power and while I can understand the power inherent in ME, there just doesn’t seem to be any forward motion moving to the next stage. And what is the next stage? I have not a clue.

It appears that my relationship to me is also stagnant. At times I feel like I am simply floating through my days in a haze. How did I get to this place in my life? Who is this woman that inhabits this body? Why is she not taking the next step towards a life full of love and joy and ultimate creation on all levels? And as I sit writing this I see that I am separating myself from me, as if the woman I am talking about is another being all together.

On talking with other friends of mine, it appears that many of us are going through the same turmoil. Attempting to move forward working with our own unique gifts yet still finding that the veils are becoming thicker, if that is possible. Opening up to newness in our lives yet somehow not receiving all that is possible. I write and I write and still nothing concrete occurs.

And back to relationships…..I am a very social being and able to resonate with many different personalities. In the past when there was a change coming, it seemed that the perfect option presented itself to me at the perfect time but not now. So very frustrating.

Am I holding on to old ways of being while not being aware of this? Are the shadow aspects of my Soul standing in the way of my forward motion? I have not a clue. I used to feel guilty about a lot of the choices that I made in the past but being as how I know everything happens for a reason, I have let them go. Or have I? Am I still being affected by all the discordance that occurred in the past? It appears so.

So now here I sit. The sun is streaming in through the window and the warmth is welcoming. I think I will simply go out for a walk in mother nature and allow her to comfort me. There are no tears and no sadness – just an uncomfortable feeling that all is not as it appears.

Sigh. I truly hope that your day is going well for you and that your own relationship with Self is sustaining you.

Blessings

The Miracle of Life

I have been a bad girl it seems. I recently started a new blog with - how shall I say this - ADULT content and Blogger is angry with me. See Katrice blushing.....oops. Ahem.....

Here is something that is much more heart friendly and I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone. It will NOT happen again. And now back to your friendly little Spiritual Advisor.....A little inspiration for the Soul.............

The miracle of Life

Take a moment to settle in to that place of sacred refuge that lies deep within. Feel that wondrous vibration that is you on the level of the Soul and breathe deeply of this magic elixir. And this magical elixir is you for a miraculous being is what you are. You just forgot.

It seems that so many of you see life as something that is hard - a constant struggle on a number of different levels. Can you find it in your heart to start to look at your life as a joy and a blessing with many wondrous events readying themselves to unfold?

As Deepak Chopra says in The Return of Merlin life is magical, mysterious, wondrous and miraculous. Lose the magic, and you lose life. It becomes dull and joyless. When you have flashes of wonder, hold them close for that is the touch of your Soul. The worst curse to befall anyone is stagnation, a banal existence, the quiet desperation that comes out of a need for conformity.

But we are not all the same. Why do we persist in trying to be like another, trying to conform to what society thinks of as the norm.

You are all your own Gods and Goddesses just waiting for the moment when you align with your own Divinity and start to fully express the miracle that is you. For you are each a miracle in your own right and it is now time to start to express this from the deepest parts of your being. Awaken to the fullness that is life when expressed from a place of trust and love, joy and wonder - with acceptance for it all exactly as it is.

No longer to simply wile away your days and nights with trivial pursuits but to really open to the incredible possibilities that are simply waiting to be manifested into your reality now. For once you truly choose to move into the most magical way of being for you, the universe flips that magical switch and everything that your heart desires is presented to you. All you need do is accept with gratitude and joy. Acceptance is very hard for many of you to do it seems. Therein lies the problem.

You are always trying to do something else and be someone else without discovering who you really are at the core; with no acceptance for who you are in this current flow of life. Who you are at the level of your Soul is what you are being prompted to discover….what you have been attempting to unearth since you first arrived in physical form. This discovery is the catalyst for you to step into your fullest potential and the magic that is available in every waking moment.

It is time to cease looking at life as a big struggle filled with hardships. Instead, choose to shine your brilliant light on the wondrous adventure that life is meant to be. Discover your part in the game of life and master your craft however it presents itself to you.

We all have a sacred gift just waiting to be made manifest. What is your gift? What do you see as your life’s work?

Step into your own personal mastery as it resonates within. Step into the power inherent in physical form as the God or Goddess that you know yourself to be at the level of your Soul. You did not come into physical form to simply grow old and die. You came here to be a part of this amazing journey… a journey full of magic and excitement.

This does not mean that every moment will be filled with excitement. It is important to have quiet moments as well where you are left to reflect on life in all its splendour. You still need the quiet times of solitude without all the distractions that show up to prompt you to learn more about who you are and what it is that you came to do. Listen in these quiet moments for the messages that Spirit is sending to you.

And in this quiet moment listen to your Soul. Truly resonates with the higher thoughts that are filtering down into your consciousness. Open to the highest vibration possible and align with the magic of the Universe, the magic that is you, the miracle that is you and this life that you are currently living. Not some far off distant life but the one wherein you currently reside.

For here is where you are right now. And this is the perfect place for you right now in this moment. Feel the energies starting to flow as you relax into a place of acceptance for all as it is. Allow your own unique Soul to speak to you, guiding you to become the You that you know yourself to be…a Divine being with a light so bright that even YOU won’t miss it.

What is your piece of the magic? Where are your miracles? Where is Life leading you now? Settle in and allow for all the wonder of the Universe to filter down in this quiet moment and receive the answers that you are seeking.

Allow Life to bestow miracles on you as you begin to see it as an expression of the miraculous……..an expression of you.

Many blessings to you all.

Sunday thoughts

I am not going to start off with lamenting the time it has been since I last sat here to post. It just makes me feel guilty and I don't need to be doing that to myself.



The past week has been one where I am rethinking the life that I am currently living and where it is I see myself going. Have any of you been sitting immersed in your life lately and going "What the f**k is going on with me?" I know that I have. Even started putting out feelers regarding getting a REAL job which is not something that I had seen myself looking at for ages. It just seems that I am flailing around these days and not really moving forward. Not moving backwards either but going around in circles and ending up in the exact same place from where I started. It is not supposed to be like this.



Doing the family thing later today with my Father's 88th birthday celebration being held in my little sacred space. I love the family thing so it feels good. Plus Dad is always happy to be whisked away from his care centre. For him spending time with me and the grandkids is heaven and it makes me feel really good to be able to give him these happy times. Sure wasn't like that way back when but things change with age and we all seem to be morphing into something that almost resembles normalcy.



And therein lies the problem now that I think of it. I have never thought of my life as normal, even when I was doing the home and family gig in the suburbs. Always felt like I was pretending and now that I am sitting here in my home by the water, Life has become real for the first time in a very long time. That of course causes me some distress because I am flailing around trying to figure out what exactly IS normal for me.



I know that I am an excellent healer/intuitive but getting the clients has proven to be such a challenge this past year. Perhaps I just wasn't focussed enough on sending the proper energy out into the Universe. BINGO....that hit a nerve. I know I wasn't focussed enough and now that I know that, the only thing to do is refocus and move forward. Saying it is one thing but actually putting this thought into practice seems to challenge me most days.



Any thoughts from anyone out there in cyberspace??? I'd love to get your thoughts on me and mine.........thoughts that is.



Have a great day
