Trust in Higher Forces

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

Trust in your angels, guides and ancestors. If you have given your power away, claim it back.

There are spiritual allies working in your favor and their miracles will unfold much more easily when you move into a state of trust.

Call back your power and stop allowing external forces to divert you from the miracles you deserve. Hand over all of your concerns to your spiritual allies. When you do so, you allow them to send you intuitive guidance and messages that will allow you to correct this situation and come out on top.

You have shamanic potential to move between realms and connect with your guides in an extremely personal way.

Shamans believed that when there was illness or disease, it was because a person’s power had been left behind somewhere or a negative pattern had installed itself in them. In trance, they would travel to the underworld to recall this power and remove the ‘demon’.

You need to do some release work with the lower energies or with your lack of trust in the spiritual energies that are guiding you.

We All Make Mistakes

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

People often complain, and want perfection. They behave as if they have the right to punish others if they do not carry out their ‘assignments’ perfectly.

The same applies to Soul assignments. Despite what our Soul wants to learn, we often head off in a completely other direction. Thankfully, our Soul will not punish us, but we do need to work to make things right.

While you may be tempted to cover things up and not be open about what has happened, especially to yourself, it is best to see what can be done to rectify the wrong.

Guiding Light

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

A sublime sanctuary resides within you. It is always there. You are connected to something greater – something that exists outside of time. Some might call it ‘eternity’.

Within this sanctuary, sacred sound is felt rather than heard. That sacred sound is the reverberating heartbeat of the entire universe. Your own heart rhythm is inside this universal heartbeat. It is through this heartbeat that we experience a love that inspires, energizes and moves us to create, even beyond what we thought was possible.

Trust your heart. You know what to do. You know what is true.

Your willingness to trust your heart and rebel against fear will serve you well. Let your heart lead you. Be sure of your faith and trust in what you feel.

You are shifting now, from head to heart. You are exactly where you are meant to be, doing exactly what you are meant to be doing.

You are now in a position that is more powerful than ever, because you are allowing yourself to be guided by your heart – a heart that beats in harmony with the heart of all existence.

Your affairs are in accord with love and no matter what may appear to be at times, all is unfolding according to that greater love. You included.

“I love you. I trust you. You are beautiful and you are wise. You beat in harmony with the greater plan of love. You are my guiding light.”

Honor the Whisper of Your Soul

And the day came when the wish to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin

What things do you get complimented on and shrug off because it comes so naturally? This is an important question when determining what your special gifts are.

What situations bring out your bliss?

Dreams are important because they speak the language of Soul. They are a compass, pointing you in the right direction, helping to correct your course when needed.

The language of the Soul is different than spoken word. Often it is symbolic, for example: the roof of a house = the roof of the body … the Mind. Learn this language, and you’ll advance much quicker than if you try to take the dreams literally.

First Ray of Power

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

The First Ray of Power is a frequency of leadership. This power can be used to eliminate the past, or allow for a fresh start. It strengthens your willpower so you can accomplish any task you choose. Clarification is coming about matters that have you questioning. Whatever is holding you back is being removed.

Be open, as your spiritual journey might be helpful in the world of politics. Speaking your truth will be very helpful at this time, not only for you but for those around you, who are willing to hear your voice and make their own choices. Don’t be afraid to be heard.

Accept the loving gauntlet being thrown down by the Universe and take your hands off the controls of your life! Detach and be curious. The Universe will show you exactly what you need and remove what you do not.

If people remain in your life after the onslaught of Divine Will, this means the Universe is confirming they are meant to be part of your path at this time.

THE LEGEND OF THE CEDAR TREE

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

A long time ago when the Cherokee people were new upon the earth, they thought that life on earth would be much better if there was never any night. They beseeched the Ouga (Creator) that it might be day all the time and that there would be no darkness.

The Creator heard their voices and made the night cease and it was day all the time. Soon, the forest was thick with heavy growth. It became difficult to walk and to find the path. The people toiled in the gardens many long hours trying to keep the weeds pulled from among the corn and other plants. It got hot, very hot, and continued that way day after long day. The people began to find it difficult to sleep and became short tempered and argued among themselves.

Not many days had passed before the people realized they had made a mistake and, once again, they beseeched the Creator. “Please,” they said, “we have made a mistake in asking that it be day all the time. Now we think that it should be night all the time.” The Creator paused at this new request and thought that perhaps the people may be right even though all things were created in twos….representing to us day and night, life and death, good and evil, times of plenty and those of famine. The Creator loved the people and decided to make it night all the time as they had asked.

The day ceased and night upon the earth. Soon, the crops stopped growing and it became very cold. The people spent much of their time gathering wood for the fires. They could not see to hunt meat and with no crops growing it was not long before the people were cold, weak, and very hungry. Many of the people died.

Those that remained still living gathered once again to beseech the Creator. “Help us Creator,” they cried!” We have made a terrible mistake. You had made the day and night perfect, and as it should be, from the beginning. We ask that you forgive us and make the day and night as it was before.”

Once again the Creator listened to the request of the people. The day and night became, as the people had asked, as it had been in the beginning. Each day was divided between light and darkness. The weather became more pleasant, and the crops began to grow again. Game was plentiful and the hunting was good. The people had plenty to eat and there was not much sickness. The people treated each other with compassion and respect. It was good to be alive. The people thanked the Creator for their life and for the food they had to eat. The Creator accepted the gratitude of the people and was glad to see them smiling again. However, during the time of the long days of night, many of the people had died, and the Creator was sorry that they had perished because of the night.

The Creator placed their spirits in a newly created tree. This tree was named a-tsi-na tlu-gv (ah-see-na loo-guh) cedar tree.

When you smell the aroma of the cedar tree or gaze upon it standing in the forest, remember that if you are Tsalagi (Cherokee), you are looking upon your ancestor.

Tradition holds that the wood of the cedar tree holds powerful protective spirits for the Cherokee. Many carry a small piece of cedar wood in their medicine bags worn around the neck. It is also placed above entrances to the house to protect against entry of evil spirits. A traditional drum would be made from cedar wood.

A Blessing

Published March 12, 2022 by tindertender

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.

We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
