Be Patient

Published October 3, 2020 by tindertender

Now is not the time to act. Now is a time to show self-restraint; to be patient and wait. Do not let your desire for an outcome or resolution result in one that is not to your liking because you forced it to manifest before it was time. Trust that all will be as it is meant to be, when it is meant to be. Be still. Let go of all frustration and impatience, and remember that good things come to those who wait.

How I Became A Warrior

Published October 2, 2020 by tindertender

Once, I ran from fear
so fear controlled me.
Until I learned to hold fear like a newborn.
Listen to it, but not give in.
Honour it, but not worship it.
Fear could not stop me anymore.
I walked with courage into the storm.
I still have fear,
but it does not have me.

Once, I was ashamed of who I was.
I invited shame into my heart.
I let it burn.
It told me, “I am only trying
to protect your vulnerability”.
I thanked shame dearly,
and stepped into life anyway,
unashamed, with shame as a lover.

Once, I had great sadness
buried deep inside.
I invited it to come out and play.
I wept oceans. My tear ducts ran dry.
And I found joy right there.
Right at the core of my sorrow.
It was heartbreak that taught me how to love.

Once, I had anxiety.
A mind that wouldn’t stop.
Thoughts that wouldn’t be silent.
So I stopped trying to silence them.
And I dropped out of the mind,
and into the Earth.
Into the mud.
Where I was held strong
like a tree, unshakeable, safe.

Once, anger burned in the depths.
I called anger into the light of myself.
I felt its shocking power.
I let my heart pound and my blood boil.
Listened to it, finally.
And it screamed, “Respect yourself fiercely now!”.
“Speak your truth with passion!”.
“Say no when you mean no!”.
“Walk your path with courage!”.
“Let no one speak for you!”
Anger became an honest friend.
A truthful guide.
A beautiful wild child.

Once, loneliness cut deep.
I tried to distract and numb myself.
Ran to people and places and things.
Even pretended I was “happy”.
But soon I could not run anymore.
And I tumbled into the heart of loneliness.
And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude and stillness.
That connected me to all things.
So I was not lonely, but alone with All Life.
My heart One with all other hearts.

Once, I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors, confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility, an unshakeable Presence.

In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness”,
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.

I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.

And started listening.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day 9-30-2020

Published October 1, 2020 by tindertender

“Don’t be afraid to cry. It will free your mind of sorrowful thoughts.”
~ Don Talayesva, HOPI

Human beings function from choice. We can choose to stuff things, or we can choose to let go of things. If we choose to stuff things, then we will feel a heaviness, or sorrow, self pity or fear. Sometimes we feel the need to cry. Sometimes we are taught it is not okay to cry. The creator designed the human being to cry. Crying is a release. This release allows us to let go of thoughts that are not helping us so we can open to new thoughts that will help. Crying is natural for women and men.

Grandfather, if I need to cry, let me realize it’s a natural process and help me to let go.

The Becoming

Published September 14, 2020 by tindertender

This world tries to tell us who we are from the beginning of our lives.

Fat, skinny, dim witted, intelligent, mentally challenged, pretty, ugly, selfish, generous, and any number of other things.

Before we become adults our psyche can be corrupted by the many opinions of our peers. We attempt to live up to their expectations.

Doctors may label us as ‘something’ in order to have an excuse to prescribe various medications which alter our chemistry in order to ‘help’ us. Once they do this, family, friends, society as a whole does its thing and tries to validate this ‘diagnosis’. Usually all done out of ignorance, or a requirement to prescribe meds, or a failed understanding of our experience of the Spiritual Realms, which we may have become connected to.

Triggers born of such experiences and judgments can be difficult to shed as we begin to stand more firmly in our OWN perceptions and ideas of Self. It can take a lot for us to finally say, No More … you are not allowed to define me any longer.

Yet the trigger is sometimes flipped by our connections, even unintentionally, due to the wounds we carry.

This is a good thing, for it allows us the opportunity to see it, to evaluate it, to sit with it and trace it to its source, to see how it has affected our lives and our decisions about self and relationships.

This is when healing can occur if we are willing to look at it deeply, acknowledge it so that it can be released, rather than suppressed. In suppression it will ALWAYS have opportunity to rear its head.

Acknowledgement and release is the only way to freedom from the stigma that began with others placing their own perceptions of our value on us, which we often take on as our own.

Becoming a healer is a difficult process, and always begins with our willingness to heal Self first. Becoming a healer cannot BE any other way, for books cannot teach it … it must be experienced for Self in order to BE IT, and to be of assistance for others.

Bless the courageous and their Stubborn Will which demands to become that which they have always needed, a nurturer. And somewhere along the line, transforming that Stubborn Will into a Skillful Will that is of benefit not only to Self, but to the World.

I love you so much.

Your Brilliance, your Endurance, and your Love for Life is tremendous and oh so beautiful.

I am one of the most Blessed Women, simply for knowing you. And for finally, coming into the true knowledge of what it means to be whole. I am so happy that this Life is a continuous opportunity for development and advancement in the Spiritual things …. in the Heart, Mind, Body and Emotional states which need focus to become Balance.

As chaos flies all about the world, let us reel in our energies, harness it, and apply it to that world we wish to co-create together … a world of beauty, acceptance, care, compassion and Love … in all of its forms.

Muah.

Reality

Published September 3, 2020 by tindertender

In these days, it is easy to walk away from those ‘people’ who attack us … not so easy with the invisibles. No, there, we simply must withstand it.

Good luck everyone, we’ll all need it.

Unity was my intention … however, rejected … told to get over myself … to get off my pity party … simply for the sharing of an astral experience and the seeking of insight.

May this world and all benevolence come through the trials we face intact, whole, and in love.

Affirmation 8-4-2020

Published August 4, 2020 by tindertender

Today is a day to focus on protection. I will protect my heart and mind from the negative thoughts, feelings, and actions of others. I do not immerse myself in problems. I do not worry about things I cannot control. I do not try to change people or things just because I think they should be different. Instead, I focus on the positive aspects of all people and situations.

Moods, In Animal-Speak

Published July 30, 2020 by tindertender

Moods that are heavy for the heart are common … we’ve all experienced them.

Let us focus on consciously creating an upward momentum.

It starts with gratitude.

Even when you are angry, depressed, or extremely sad … look within and ‘force’ yourself to start a list of gratitude.

It can be simple things, such as you have hair, or you have vision, you can walk and talk … etcetera.

Start small, and watch your list grow, and you MOOD lift.

You’ve got everything you need to conquer the mind …

Master your emotions.

Do not be mastered BY them.

YOU have the Power.

Early Day Surprise

Published July 14, 2020 by tindertender

My supervisor did an update to the computer program I use at work, it took two hours … and then something went wrong. So, I got to leave an hour early! Surprise!

I went to the park for a walk-about.

Saw some flowers …

Came across a caterpillar munching down dinner.

Ran into a patch of stinging nettles, first time in 40 years. Probably only noticed because my legs were bare. That was fun.

Hope you enjoyed your day my Human (and otherwise) family.

I love you.

PS ~ I found golden grasses!

I also spotted a couple of heart rocks. Love is in the atmosphere!

Stand Strong

Remember we are a huge team and we have each other’s backs throughout the dimensions. Connect with that team in alchemical unification as we create a more powerfully positively polarised collective consciousness than this planet has ever seen.

This is your choice, how you take this for you hold the power. Not so easy in person – but well within a starseed’s ability to neutralise when it is online.

The reaction you need is no reaction. Pure observation. A lack of reaction, a lack of response, neutralises any movement of energy of attack towards you and the transmutation thus moves from attack into failed attempted attack.

Remember, no matter how ugly and vile the words, these are minions from a long established system finally being uprooted from their positions of power. They hold no sway on social media or astrally through psychic attack unless you allow them to.
