Counsil Fire

Published January 7, 2022 by tindertender

To admit wrongdoing and to make amends builds character and makes a Tribe or Nation stronger. There is no losing face when a person is willing to make amends. Honor is found in the willingness to change. This act of courage, which is the willingness to right a wrong, allows everyone to see how the offender is once again walking the Sacred path.

One comes to realize a sense of unity when observing the way our Ancestors had of making democratic Council decisions. When the good of the whole is placed before the good of the few, all are assured of a future filled with abundance. These teachings stress that until all the People are doing well, in truth none of the People do well. This idea encompasses all races and creeds because Grandfather Sun shines on us all. We then respect the value of the individual and acknowledge the need to nurture the Self first so that the talents each individual brings into the world can feed all of the People. If these guidelines are followed, the Children of the Earth will break the bonds of inequality and dictatorship.

If you have been waffling over what to do next, the Council Fire card is insisting that you make a decision. There can be no forward movement if you fail to decide which trail will lead out of the swamp and into the forests. It takes courage to make changes in your life and all changes must begin with a decision. Do it and don’t look back. Life awaits you in all of its beauty.

If the decision of another has left you in a precarious position, make new decisions of your own. There is no need to make your decisions based upon another’s. Consider all possibilities and how your decision affects others, then be courageous enough to act. Find your truth and stick to it.

Affirmations ~ January 7, 2022

Published January 7, 2022 by tindertender

Neuroplasticity happens when connections are made across the neural network in our brain. Essentially, our brain creates super-highways that it travels quickly in response to outside stimuli. Thought patterns that are repeated often create massive highways that the thought travels on. The more the thought occurs, the more it will occur.

One of the most effective ways to reprogram the mind, to reformat the consciousness, is through using affirmative statements. I share with you examples that you may find helpful should you wish to use them to assist in reformatting the thinking mind.

A Moment’s Regret

Published January 6, 2022 by tindertender

“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “When one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole ~ and yet ~ it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”

When we make life changes and take large steps into the unknown, it is perfectly natural to have a moment or two when we wonder whether we have made a series of mistakes! A light shines on the doubts you are having and asks you to accept these uncertainties as part of the process of change.

You are so very far away from where you once were, but you still have no clear idea of exactly where your path will take you, and you are filled with uncertainty. Instead of allowing dread to fill your mind, live as if life is a great adventure. Understand that as you change, there will be many ups and some downs to! It is not in your best interest to judge yourself harshly. Instead, anchor yourself firmly in the present moment and allow any regret and nostalgia for your comfortable past to wash over you … let it flow on by.

You are on a remarkable journey of change. It is one that will lead to wisdom, experience and adventure. You have made a wonderful choice, so take heart in knowing that all change creates waves and disruption. Do not make more of your misgivings than they are … they are a natural consequence of bravely stepping out of your comfort zone.

Second-guessing your decisions. Berating yourself for the choices you have made. Feeling regretful and missing what was. Nostalgia – living in the past. A focus on what is going ‘wrong’ or what could still go ‘wrong’.

Pandora’s Gift

Published January 4, 2022 by tindertender

There is a mythic woman, much aligned throughout history, whose name means ‘all gifted.’ Pandora lives within us as our curious nature, yearning to conquer chaos, evil and darkness with the light of knowledge. She is the hopeful voice of our soul that asks the questions and, in doing so, triggers the process that brings answers. Sometimes it is through uncomfortable learning that we find our treasure. Pandora reminds us that the process of learning can take us to places that seem like the end of our world and yet, all is not lost. Even now, the light within you is stirring for new revelation, new life and new adventure.

Becoming Braver

Published January 4, 2022 by tindertender

“After a fall such as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!”

Alice is brave. And so are you. With everything that has taken place in your life of late, you have often felt overwhelmed, challenged and uncertain of whether you could cope with very much more. But you have shown great courage, and perhaps even more wonderfully, you’ve developed so much resilience. Because of the extreme nature of the events and experiences you have been working with, you will now be able to deal with all manner of circumstances with great calm and stoicism. And this is no small thing!

Being challenged in quite radical ways can see some people retreat entirely from life. But you, like Alice, can see one of the aspects of working through adversity is realizing just how much you can do. You have been stretched, pushed and gone right to the very edges of what you know about yourself – and you have come to know yourself far better, far more deeply, than if you had not had these great and sometimes rather terrible adventures.

Most of all, please know these truths: You are strong, you are brave, you are resilient. You have been dignified, graceful, and remained curious under the greatest sorts of pressures. This has been, in many ways, your finest hour. And you will be able to set an amazing example when life returns to something just a little closer to what most people call normal!

You have been tested. The development of strength and resilience through courageous meetings of challenges. The demonstration of great character. The acknowledgement of how much you have learned. The ability to cope with so many little things, due to a great ordeal endured with grace, dignity and humor. Testing times shows true character.

Some of you have been struggling with addiction, self esteem, low energies … Y’all about to be shaken the fuck awake cause Spirit isn’t coming to play… He wants ALL HIS CHILDREN and if you ain’t getting RIGHT ..THEN YOU GETTING LEFT.

New Star seeds and Hybrids are about to EXPLODE on the scene like the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. All you older ones are gonna have to remember that every baby has to crawl before they walk. So be patient cause they’re gonna work your nerves but they’ll pick up quickly.

New colonies are going to be formed. Borders and boundaries that once were separating are going to be crumbling like the Berlin Wall. And a REMEMBERING is about to slap some of you straight in to 5D.

Technology is going to be like WOAH this year. But what THEY wanted to use against us, it’s about to flip because their Story plot got trashed like a shit screenplay. WE’RE THE NEW SCRIPT WRITERS NOW.

2022 is NOT THE YEAR to doubt yourself. It’s not the time to SECOND GUESS YOURSELF. Spirit is saying IT’S TIME TO BE THE ROYALTY YOU ARE AND STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH YOURSELF. Head Up…Chest Out…Shoulders Back! TAKE THIS YEAR BY AIMING HIGH.

Self Care is A MUST. Get your Vision Boards together. Get your meditations done. Move in SILENCE. Stop telling your plans to people who are too small to handle YOUR GREATNESS! LET’S GO!!!!

Spirit is saying … STEP ASIDE AND WATCH ME MOVE! Things you been praying for is about to come to like Magnets. Vibe High. Don’t look down.

Understand that the Shadow is just you. It’s the parts of you that need the most healing and love. Who deserves your love more than YOU? You can do this!

You have another BIG shift about to happen. This one is going to play you in total alignment fully in heart, mind, soul. Instant manifestations will come. At first it’s going to surprise you, then it’s going to become almost like a comedy or game how easy you’ll flow.

It’s beautiful the vibe and aura I feel coming from you. It’s like a frequency turned up from the heart chakra and the beaming from the Crown Chakra. There’s a presence that is going to just simply command respect without opening your mouth.

Belief Is Key

Published January 1, 2022 by tindertender

There is spiritual intelligence within your soul. It is the genius of becoming, of ripening from potential into glorious manifestation. Intimate communion with your own heart will reveal what it is you truly yearn for and set the process in motion for that yearning to be satisfied. The holy fire is Kali. And she is within your soul. Follow the yearning, seek the light. Let yourself burn bright for what inspires you, and you shall see the path to fruition clearly before you. Believe in what is meant to be. ~ Kali Oracle, Alana Fairchild
