Full Moon, Abundance a Message

Today I was guided to pull a card from my Messages of Universal Wisdom, Empowerment Cards by Barbara Evans. And ABUNDANCE is the card that jumped out of the deck as I started to shuffle.

It is especially perfect given that we enter full moon in Virgo tonight.

Set your intentions and confidently let them come true.

I’m not an astrologer but as I see it, this moon in Virgo is asking for me to step out of my victim mentality and open up to higher vibrations, ones that fill me with forgiveness and compassion for myself and others and asks me to step into a new higher consciousness.

It also asks me to let go of my limiting beliefs and enter into a relationship with and surrender to the mystery that this amazing Universe holds for me. To stop holding myself back and let the universal forces work through me. For me this signifies a deeper relationship with my Goddess who is patiently waiting to open new doors.

This card brings me the message of abundance in every way, but to receive it, I need to let go of what no longer supports me, start looking at things in a new way, and open to and accept the gifts that are waiting for me to unravel.

I welcome and invite you to share your thoughts.

Wishing you moon blessings and great abundance,

Masha

Trust and Surrender

The words TRUST and SURRENDER have come up a lot in recent days.

Today I pulled this card from my The Enchanted Map Oracle Cards by Colette Baron-Reid.

It’s letting me know that I’ve come to the end of a journey and that I have to let go of the old ways of doing things and the old ways of thinking, they are no longer supporting me in my highest.

This really touches me because I have known for a while now that I’ve been holding on but I’ve been unable to let go. I can’t stay here any longer, I’m at the end but I’ve been unable to see my way. It’s time to take the next step into a higher level of consciousness and move into the new journey that is opening up for me.

It’s time to let go, believe and have faith in the Mystery and know that every thing I need will be and is being provided to me by my great Goddess. When I will totally TRUST and SURRENDER a new way will open on this new journey for me to walk through.

I don’t need to see my way all I need is to take that leap into the mystery and trust and surrender into the Goddess that I know is holding me, guiding me, protecting me and showering me with her grace.

And then I opened my email and this was in my inbox from – terri st. cloud, bone sigh arts

commitment

it is in the commitment to trust that mountains begin to move. it is in the commitment to love, that walls begin to crumble, and it is in the commitment to one’s self that worlds unimagined begin to become real.

The journey is a forever unfolding spiral of higher levels of consciousness and there are always deeper levels of TRUST and SURRENDER that I need to move into.

Blessings on your journey

Remembering my Mother

“If there ever comes a day where we can’t be

together, keep me in your heart,

I’ll stay there forever.”

Winnie the Pooh

My beautiful darling mother passed eleven years ago today.

She was a holocaust survivor; she was the only survivor out of her entire family. She knew about love and pain and suffering and horrors. She survived the gas chambers of Auschwitz, and she somehow escaped her sentence to be killed 3 times.

She was the strongest woman and the most courageous woman I will ever know.

She knew about forgiveness and even after all that she suffered, all that she stood witness to and all that she saw, all that she lost in her life – even after her heart was torn out of her, she somehow still believed, still had faith, still went on and built a life.

She loved to laugh, she loved jokes, she was humble, she always made the best of what she had, and she loved her children unconditionally. She gave my brother and me all that she had within her to give.

She had the strength to go on after my father passed and still take care of two small children, while being all alone in this world. She had no one to rely on, no one to ask a question, no one to trust. And somehow she trusted and somehow she still worked hard and we had a home, thanks to her.

When she was in her senior years and I would ask her how will I survive without her? She always said that her spirit will always be with me.

Well my darling mother, I feel your spirit with me everyday.

I honor you, I am grateful to you, and I love you with all my heart.

Blessings

I nourish myself with love today

Look for love in your day

Give yourself loving thoughts and loving words

Draw a heart and place it on your fridge

Find one thing to love about yourself today

Write the word LOVE on a sticky note and place it on your bathroom mirror, on the door so you can see it on your way out, the dashboard in your car, on your computer, on your fridge, place it on your night stand next to your bed

Make one healthy food choice today

Give yourself a hug

Buy yourself a small present

Take a moment and have a hot cup of tea and just sit and reflect on your wonderful self

Remember you are divine

Dance in your living room for no reason

Laugh

Sing

Wash your body with love

Buy yourself flowers for no reason

Smile at a stranger

When you love yourself you are automatically giving out loving energy into the universe

How are you loving yourself today? Love to hear from you.

Blessings

Savoring a Moment

I’m taking a class with Vivienne McMaster, Be Your Own Beloved. It’s about “seeing ourselves with kindness through our cameras.”

This is only the first week into this class and I feel already like I’ve opened myself up to a whole new place within myself of creativity and exploration of parts of me that I haven’t touched.

Today’s assignment is about savoring a moment and exploring the feelings that we experience in that moment.

For me that moment is when I’m in my sacred alone. When I am in the quiet of the morning hours and I feel myself, I feel my body, I feel my higher self, I feel the energy that is in me and around me. I love these times the most, they don’t happen so clearly every day, but when they do, ahhh they are the most precious to me.

What moments do you savor? What moments make you feel most at peace and connected?

Blessings

What’s Next in 2016

October is when I start to explore my sacred journey. It’s when I start thinking of what has come together for me this year? What do I want to let go of, what do I want more of. What am I doing to make changes, to open and allow in the new.

At the beginning of this year I decided that I want more community, spiritual partnerships, mystical experiences, peace, harmony…

I wanted what Mary Oliver wrote –

Pay attention

Be astonished

Tell about it

I think I did some of this.

I have moved myself out of fear and into the unknown with trust and faith in the Universe. And glorious miracles have happened.

I have paid more attention to compassion, surrender, love; I have opened to the mystery in a greater, richer way than ever before. I have welcomed new astonishments into my life; I have embraced my oracle cards in a new way, and am now feeling a pull to the Tarot.

I have stepped into my power and am lighting the way.

I have been letting the outrageous out.

With all of this my word for this year was ‘courage’ and courage has certainly been my companion. And so has our heavenly Mother Mary supporting me on my journey.

So now is the time to think about what I want to bring into my life in this next year?

Up to now I thought that ‘courage’ was still such a strong energy that it will continue to be one of my words for next year, but today I got the feeling that It may not be so. Maybe courage is kind of done with me. A couple of weeks ago when I asked the Universe for a word that will carry me for next year, immediately before I could even finish that thought the word ‘health’ popped into my mind. And it’s still with me as a strong energy. So ‘health’ is my word. And I’ll see how honoring health in mind, body and spirit will unfold and reveal itself to me in 2016.

Silence – that is being in silence with myself is something that I crave more of, so this will most definitely carry over to next year. I am now on day 10 of a promise I made to myself of not turning on my computer before I spend time in silence every morning. I spend time journal writing every day and I just sit quietly with myself immersed in my own thoughts. There is always plenty of time to be involved with the outside.

Showing up for me – for what I want, for what honors me, for what nourishes me, is a goal I have set for myself for this next year. Being in my power means all of this.

Some of the words that I will carry with me

Believe

Trust

Surrender

Wonder

Listen

Nourish

Ask

Give

Love

Yes
