“such synchronicity is quite staggering”
What a crazy good day I had today filled with symbols and synchronicity and intuition. I had plans to meet up with an old friend that I had not seen in a few months over the winter as I am like the Bear in Winter and I hibernate; even though it is really a myth that Bears hibernate in the winter. Yes, they slow down and sleep a lot, do not come out much since there isn’t much food, but they do not completely hibernate. I do that. I am really good at being a hermit or a Bear. This blog is long, I had a lot to say; your weekly wisdom video and card reading is all the way at the bottom….Be patient, keep the faith good fortune is coming your way!
Listening to Spirit, your Higher Being or you Angels- While I was getting ready I started to think of another friend that I had not seen in a while; my original Shaman who taught me how to do Spiritual Shamanic Journeying. I was going to message her to see if she would be in the area that I would be lunching and shopping in; I felt the need to go to my favorite Crystal Shoppe, when my Spirit Guides, Higher Self or my Angels told me that it was not necessary to message her as I would run into her today! Sure enough, when I arrived at the meeting place, I was looking around to see where my lunch partner had parked. Although her car was not 20 feet from where I was standing, I did not see it, but I saw my friend (that Spirit said that I would see today) walking down the street. Things like this always make me laugh and once I saw her then I spotted my other friend’s car in front of my favorite Crystal Shoppe, she exited upon seeing me. Everything is perfectly timed. Apparently I was running late to meet my friend for lunch; she actually arrived earlier than she expected. I was only blocks away, but the traffic was so gridlocked that I could have walked faster than the 20 minutes it took me to drive and park my car. Had I “been on time” or early, I would have missed the opportunity to see my Spirit Guidance and never would have seen my other friend that I “knew” I would see.
The message here is do not rush or push anything. You need to just go with the flow; do not freak out when lines are long, traffic is heavy and you are being delayed; you never know what is waiting for you or what you may luckily miss by being delayed. I do love to be punctual, but if I am delayed it is for a reason; Angels could be saving you from a tragedy or leading you towards a wonderful synchronicity!
Blue Tourmaline Indicolite- One of my acquisitions of the day! I am mesmerized by this piece and have to share, maybe you will be just as amazed??? Look at this (pictures do not do the piece justice)
This stone helps to accelerate psychic gifts and mediumship; an instant connection to our Spirit Guides, Higher Self, Angels and Ancestors. This stone will help assist with connecting to the departed loved ones of not only yours, but of your friends so they can receive direct messages that will help ease their grief. It is great for automatic writing and channeling. It makes me feel like the Ocean for some reason and all airy and floaty, which is why it is super important to keep yourself grounded when using this stone. My recommendation, use it at home and make sure I have a good grounder like Black Tourmaline on me when I leave the house. I want to put a caution sign on this stone – Do Not Use Machinery While Using This Stone. It will be difficult to realize that you are not grounded when you are using it because you will feel very good and if you remain ungrounded for any period of time it could cause health issues. This stone is really good for the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, helping you speak your word and see your vision. It is especially helpful to enhancing your clairaudient or hearing abilities; allowing you to hear Spirit whisper sweet messages to you.
The good, the bad, the ugly- Speaking of crystals and stones, I had a very strange and unfortunately sad
occurrence with one of my most favorite stones; a 20 year old Malachite spontaneously broke in half while it was sitting on my nightstand next to me. As strange as that seems, I have seen this happen many times with Hematite. Healing stones that absorb illness, negative energy and toxicity tend to over time build up that energy and if not cleansed properly and often will explode, break or fracture. Now, one of my friends said that she had heard that when a crystal breaks that it is meant to be shared and I did not resonate with that at all. I did not “look it up” on Google and waited to speak to my crystal expert – Donna. Lucky for me, she was at the Crystal Shoppe! She feels that just as I had suspected, it had too much energy build up and fractured; my bad for not taking proper care of my stones and cleansing them frequently during the Full Moon (using the power of the Moonlight) or using the power of the sun to cleanse and recharge it. She gave me recommendations to heal these stones, cleanse, charge and let them rest for a long while before attempting to use them again. She told me to ignore what Google says when a Malachite breaks; that someone close to me will die – I did not Google, so I did not know that old wives tale. I did however learn a valuable lesson, cleanse, recharge and rest my stones frequently.
A lovely lunch was enjoyed with tropical cocktails from the islands, good conversation, laughs and not enough time to really catch up on everything that we both wanted to say; isn’t that always the case? Upon our departures we both decided to milk a few more minutes with each other by lighting up a cigarette and finish the chat when we both discovered that we had pulled out the same psychedelic print lighter; another synchronicity or not, but definitely a coincidence. Either way it gave us a really good laugh. What are the chances that two friends who have not seen in other in months and of all of the different lighter colors and print choices in the world of lighters that we would both have the same exact?
On my drive home I happened to see something out of the corner of my eye. I slowed down long enough to look over and see an enormous vulture eating a fox on the front lawn of a sprawling estate. I am sure he drug the fox from the road so he would not be disturbed. My breath was taken away. I love foxes and the size of the ominous black vulture was really frightening to look at. A vampire in a black cloak hovering over the poor defenseless fox, taking from him his life force. My heart broke and then a light shone on it; there is symbolism here that I must pay attention to. My first thought was that it had to do with being consumed by something or someone; having the life force sucked out of me. The fox is sly and clever and no matter how sly and clever we are, there is always someone waiting to take advantage of us; this world is cruel and people can be opportunistic. I decided to ask my guides and I channeled the following – however, I was interrupted by the dogs and it broke the channel before I was finished…still I get the main message and I feel that it is related to my family; those closest to me.
What was the meaning of the vulture eating the fox?
Do not allow yourself to be consumed by things taking advantage of you and using you and all of your resources, protect yourself and be aware that there are always people sitting int the wings waiting for you waiting to use you but do not allow this to jade you either be generous and give of yourself but be aware of the perils of giving too much of yourself allow others to help you and do for you. stay true to yourself . take a respite and allow yourself to rest when you need it you are the mother birthing a new plan a new generation a new light and it is time to make your move into the right direction. not everyone is out to take advantage of you.
5 Planets still in Retrograde- How is everyone making out during the Retrogrades? For me personally, other than being really tired (slept 12 hours last night), nothing too bad going on here. Of course I just go with the flow, expect delays and take it one moment at a time. I nurtured myself yesterday with the best hot salt bubble bath and tucked in early. Be sure to take good care of yourselves for the next 2 months and listen to your body and mind for what it needs! I slept another 12 hours last night and I am feeling extremely creative. I suppose being well rested and refreshed helps with that! I would love to hear how you are all feeling so be sure to leave me a comment!
Full Moons, Fire Ceremony and craziness-During the last Full Moon I attended a Shamanic Fire Ceremony, which is typical for me as I am always looking to release, expand and I enjoy doing it through this ritual while connecting with my friends and the Earth. Everything was going as normal as it usually does even down to the Native American Spirit that loves to pull on the back of my hair ever so gently to let me know that he
is standing by my side – he must be an old Spirit acquaintance or maybe a guide that I only seem to connect with when I am in this place where we hold ceremony. He will tap me on my shoulder while I am meditating, I often see him out of the corner of my eye. He is small and stands only about 5’5″ tall (small for my 5’10” height that is). I seem to tower over most of the people that attend. My nephew has even encountered him several times and brought him to my attention when I was accusing my nephew being the one tapping me or pulling my hair when my eyes were closed; he once said “No, it is that guy behind us”, as Spirit ran behind the tree in the darkness, I caught a glimpse of him. Heis fairly young; in his 20’s I assume. This has been going on for about a year and I really wish I knew more about him, his purpose to me and why he wants my attention. Any way, once my prayers were made and I placed my offering into the fire I turned around and I saw my heart, green and black in color – similar to that of a piece of Malachite, shatter into a million pieces. The pain of this broken heart was so intense, it was like all of my broken hearts over the decades all at once; the broken hearts of disappointed love, death of my loved ones and life’s other disappointments all came rushing back to me in a millisecond. Tears began to pour down my face in uncontrollable streams, my breath was taken away from me as I was experiencing these pains all over again and understanding the necessity of allowing myself to let all of this brew and boil up to the surface so that I could release anything that I have suppressed over the years. No one likes to feel pain and I have a tendency to bury the pain so that I do not feel it and move on probably quicker from situations than I should only because I do not want to feel pain. I also never want to appear weak or gotten over on so it has always been easier to just bury it, forget it and move on. It was all pouring out on this Full Scorpio Moon. When the Shaman came around to do the final blessing and healing on each of us, she stopped at me and asked me to turn around and face her, which never happens; everything is conducted from behind us. I turned, she placed her Mesa on my Third Eye and then on my Heart and in that instant I felt all of the broken pieces all pull back into my chest cavity, full of the color red and it felt like she sent me all of the love in the world to fill my heart, make me whole and feel loved; I knew I was going to be o.k. in that moment. Words really cannot express that whole experience, but I have never encountered such weirdness in my life. It was profound and life changing. I feel as though many levels of this life and past lives had been healed in this one Fire Ceremony, I also know that I still have more to work on. We are never finished working on ourselves. If you ever get the opportunity to attend one of these ceremonies I highly recommend it. It is powerful, profound, life changing and transformational.
