Not Quite

Published July 5, 2020 by tindertender

They used to say, “Don’t get your hopes up too high, you may be disappointed.” In other words, “Don’t put too much faith in anything, it may never happen.”

So we learn to immediately question people, their motives, their ability, their integrity. And then we begin to question ourselves … why not? Everyone else does.

Things have gone rigid and no longer flow.

The word acceptance has been removed for many in this walk, other than the word itself.

We are suspicious, our trust in many cases, broken. Even the trust we say we hold in ourselves … after all … look what experiences we lined up! Whew!

We discover we have choices. For the first time it seems clear, obvious almost, and we ask ourselves why we would choose to put ourselves in certain situations … for years … just barely moving along, stagnant in most areas.

Yet still, we listen to those outside of us, telling us about our ‘faults’, reminding us that we are not perfect, and in their book, unworthy.

We think, what?!?!?

Perhaps at this point we begin to note that we’d rather listen to our own perceptions and judgement of self.

We recognize another’s voice when negative thoughts travels through our mind … the memory of it stuck there like a broken record, playing … and playing … so often we may not even be aware of it any longer, until we are and we ask ourself, how long has this been going on?

We tell ourself that a decade old memory accompanied by pain that we never dealt with will no longer have lease in our life. We begin to shed … like a snake, and it’s messy. We may detest the process thinking it disgusting, or at the very least, uncomely.

Judgement comes and we sink, and then we recognize the self sabotage. We want to kick our self but understand we can no longer do that. So we are gentle with our self. We understand the situation like no other, and we love our self through the process, through the release.

Or not … not quite yet.

Perhaps we haven’t felt the rawness of it fully enough to gain that push forward. Maybe we are so accustomed to it, life without it seems … impossible?

Whatever it is …

It’s all in our mind.

The inner manifesting into the outer.

The perfect reflection.

Don’t like what you see?

Get serious about shifting it …

In your mind.

The rest will follow.

Acknowledgement

Sometimes your worst antagonist is your greatest ally, whether knowingly, or unknowingly by either party.

Who else but those who love us most would agree to reside in a seat that receives so much expression, outburst, argument and complete freak out? Who would just kick back and endure that … for no reason?

There must be a divine purpose to the presence of all those who trigger us. They allow us to see ourselves, rawly, in the moment.

The reaction is often denial, yet how can one deny what is blatantly in the face? Apparent for ALL to see … no sense in denying it … may as well acknowledge it and at last see it.

Yesterday for me was a deep remembrance of intense pain. I was thankful for it being a memory only, for it was quite influential on my mental status for the day … even as the memory was from nearly three decades ago.

Yet … the seemingly cold hearted will say, “what does she expect, everyone to feel sorry for that, for her chosen self crucifixion” as tears roll down her face. They may perceive the moment as a pity party of sorts.

And we might say, “You bastard!” Jerk……. I’ve concluded that no one actually has the authority to tell me what my “process” must look like. This is my experience, unique to me. Of course many will not be in agreement or acceptance of it.

Someone else always seems to know best.

But then, if we are wise, we will evaluate the triggering phrase or event and see if it really does apply to our situation.

Harsh realities often are recognized by our worst antagonist … given to us for opportunity of ‘stretching’ the conscious capacity, growing beyond the trigger.

They must love us greatly to offer us this view.

At least … this is how I choose to view it.

Daily Affirmation 7-2-2020

Published July 2, 2020 by tindertender

Morning: Today is a day to focus on cleaning. Cleaning out the things I don’t need. I will clean out and get rid of the negative feelings, regrets, grievances, grudges, and unhappy memories that clutter up my life. I no longer have room for these. I release them all, and I will spend the day with only good things, ideas, and thoughts that support me, in my heart and mind.

Evening: I know that I did my best today to focus on cleaning out what I don’t need. Tonight I will rest knowing that my heart and mind have released the debris of my old life, and made room for the new.

Empowerment

Published June 24, 2020 by tindertender

The moment for respect for life and all living things, attuning to nature and the the creatures of the Earth is at hand.

Tune into the deep well of compassion that spills over readily to anyone who needs your help.

You are being directed to take action to remove difficulties and resolve problems. Be receptive to guidance from wherever it happens to come.

Don’t be surprised to receive support from unusual avenues. Be alert to seemingly random input, which will give you clues and ideas that had not occurred to you earlier.

Once you have picked up these signs, pursue them diligently and with determination. The potential for them to pay off is immense.

As soon as you know what action to take, take it.

What Is The Next Step?

Published June 22, 2020 by tindertender

In these days we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the chaotic movements and energies around us.

We may become so overwhelmed that it is difficult to know which direction to turn, which project to tackle first, or be completely at a loss as to how to begin lifting the pile of worries from atop our heads.

Breathe.

In times of stress it is typical for us to lose our rhythm. Our muscles contract, our breathing becomes shallow or labored, and may include any form of release … outbursts, tears, fights.

If this is your current experience, stop.

Check in with your heart, your muscles, your breath, NOT the mind. Examine the tensions dwelling within your person. Focus on relaxing them, and releasing them.

Take time every morning to make a vow as to the efforts you will apply to the day.

What will you create? Where and how will you apply your energies to affect a benefit for the whole?

Our energies influence all others, just as ours is influenced by those we encounter.

Distinguish the subtle differences between your energy and that of those you have relationship throughout the day. Become familiar with what belongs to you, and that which you pick up on and absorb.

Reject any energies which are not yours if they are dark. There are many methods of this and I have found the best is to move, breathe and gently push the negative away.

As with all delicate energy work, we must be tuned in order to recognize the varying degrees of flow.

With time and practice, you will easily remove the energetic imprints people add in your experience. You will maintain balance. You will stop ‘reacting’ and will start ‘responding’. You will become an expert at energetic transmutation.

Control your emotions.

Do not be controlled by them.

In all instances, keep humility in mind.

None of us know it all.

Everyone has a lesson to teach.

Everyone has a lesson to learn.

It truly is a team effort, and the more of us who are aware and practicing, the quicker the transmutation process becomes, not only for self and personal relationships, but the flow of the entire world will begin to shift.

LOVE

Keep going.

Oracle Reading 6-20-2020

Published June 20, 2020 by tindertender

The Heart of the Issue: Do not give up; there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere.

The Challenge You Face: It’s time to think big. You are a star in your own right. There are unlimited possibilities. It is fine not to know every detail before proceeding. Mystery is a natural part of life.

The Solution: Celebrate in joyful peace. Be contented with what you have. Dance, sing, love and create without anxiety. It is time to rest and to cease driving forward for a time.

A Healthier Self and Planet

Published June 13, 2020 by tindertender

Shared by: https://twitter.com/StarSoul777

Grab a bottle or two of water, go to a place with water, a stream, or river, hold that bottle in your hand, or on your chest(heart), see a light from your heart filling and mixing with the water in the bottle, and say “may this bottle of light cleanse and purify the waters of Mother Earth, the rivers, the lakes, the seas, the oceans, may this bring joy to all of the Water Kingdom. So it is. And than gently pour the water in the stream, river, and SEE it reaching far and wide into the oceans. SEE the oceans sparkling with light.

If you wish to see world peace, than imagine this, visualize this, SEE A PLANET OF PEOPLE DANCING HAND IN HAND OUT IN NATURE, LAUGHING, HUGGING, SHARING GIFTS. See the Animal Kingdom being free, playing in joy.

We have stated previously BREATHE IN LIGHT, BREATHE OUT LOVE. This is especially important RIGHT NOW. What do you wish to SEE in this world? What do you wish to experience? What do you wish to create? Be clear in your intentions, and see ’em manifest with the light of your heart.

This is a time of amplified intentions. A great energy is offered to YOU now, what will you do with it? Will you allow the old ways to distract you, pull you into negativity, or will you use this energy like a master in your reality, to change your life and the world.

This new light is assisting your healing, cleansing, and activation of your DNA at a much faster rate. A whole lot of activity is occurring in your head, the third eye in particular, you will notice much more activity than usual there.

Also your high heart is receiving intense waves of light, self love and love for all is greatly needed now.

Be at peace with all, within and without. Eat less, eat light, drink plenty of water get plenty of rest, spend much time in nature. Your entire being needs to be at ease as you are receiving extra boosts of energy.

There is so much going on right now within your being, and without, on all levels. So what are you to do? The short and simple answer would be to BREATHE, relax.

Now we approach a very unique and powerful gateway, that will bring immense change to this world once again. Waves of light amplified, contributing to the deeper shattering of the illusions.

This is a chance for both(you and the star body) to prepare, to find the peace within, to open the heart more, and be ready to receive and to CHANGE one’s reality, through raising your frequency.

As we stated earlier, you are eternally connected to the rest of the Universe, stars, planets, galaxies. In certain timelines this connection becomes stronger, the energy amplifies due to the way the ‘star bodies’ are aligned. This is the Divine in ACTION.

You are made of the same light and love which the planets and the stars are made of. You are eternally connected. You are continuously exchanging energy. You have an impact on each other, positive or negative, the receiver decides. Day and night you “play” together.

Your DNA responds to Earth DNA. In a way connected. When Earth’s DNA activates, yours does as well. However, there can be obstacles on your end. And these would manifest as physical symptoms. Which brings us back to caring for your vessel.

What remains is the adjustments and upgrades to the physical vessel, because this is, for the first time in the Universe’s history, physical ascension. Hence the reason for this process being so gradual, so it may seem to many, or the human body would burn out.

Now you are anchoring a higher part of yourselves into the 5th dimensional matrix. At the same time through the activation of your DNA you are “pulling up” your physical vessels into the higher light.

The light from the Great Central Sun is infusing every star system in the galaxy. Our sun is bombarding each planet of the solar system with the new refined light.

Unnatural things cannot exist in 5th Dimensional Earth. From the food to medication. From the paved roads to the gas powered machines. And everything else that is composed of unnatural components, will gradually dissolve.

Much will also be transmuted by advanced technologies into something that Earth can use.

They fail to comprehend the magnitude of what is transpiring on Earth, so they label it as “new age stuff”.

The new reality is being anchored on this world similar to an ice tray being filled with water. The light flowing from Source to Earth will not stop until every dark or empty area has been filled with light.

Oracle Reading 6-13-2020

Published June 13, 2020 by tindertender

In this reading you can look at just the italic portion for a more earthly meaning, or the non-italics for a more spiritual meaning, or both for a more full interpretation.

Balance imagination and reality. Be cautious of giving undue influence to baseless assumption. Distinguish between opinion and evidence. Become aware of false limitations. Put real effort into proving a doubt or fear wrong. Be open to new ideas and perspectives, but do your homework and ensure a claim can hold true in practice as well as theory.

Only through the eyes of the soul can the true nature of your life, existence and purpose be known. All of life flows from one divine heart of creation. You have a purpose, a meaning and a role to play in this great journey of life. It may be beyond the knowing of the physical world, but it is not beyond the knowing of your soul.

A feeling that history is repeating. The patterns in your past – in your childhood, in your relationships, in your career – are escapable. Stop and learn the lesson so you can move forward. There is no need to mind,easily (endlessly) repeat. Look outside of what you know and break a cycle. Someone, perhaps the universe, is trying to tell you something. A unique response to a repeat problem is needed.

From the flawless patterns of your spirit, a great light shines upon the world. You are a leader, a healer, an inspiration, a free spirit … unrestricted by traditional thinking. A desire to be all you can be, and a vision for positive transformation draws you into deep exploration and clarity. Break free, reshape your destiny and follow the spiraling, intertwining pathways of peace, love and wisdom.

Sudden clarity amid adversity. Acute awareness of yourself and your circumstances. Finding unexpected strength and wisdom in a crisis. Realizing the limits of a situation … pressure cannot make diamonds from coal. Challenging a misconception or calling out a false promise. Isolate and develop an idea, talent or goal to excellence, without external influence. Trusting you will have what it takes when it matters.

All soon clears, heals and is resolved. Peace ascends within you like a glorious bud opening to the surface. Realization comes in a dazzling flash, and you will see the world and your soul as blessed as they truly are. Follow love to the peaceful space inside your heart, your power center, from which all is possible and all is available.

The tedium or drudgery of a safe but unstimulating environment. Denying a problem worsens an outcome. Avoidance f the tough stuff causes dependence, stagnation or loss of self. Make mistakes with the purpose of learning from them. Aim to manage stress, rather than eliminating it. Minimize damage by turning a difficulty to your advantage. A challenge brings needed incentive.

Challenge helps you face and overcome fear. This challenge is a blessing that will in some way make you stronger and more resilient. Open yourself to the light of the world. Draw it into you, be empowered by it and channel it into your environment for all to benefit from. Face all that comes your way and trust your ability to make change for the greater good.

Withdraw to the security of loved ones. Stumbling on or triggering a memory. Stories told in safety. Creative space. A message from the past, for the future. Your body remembers, listen to its story. Deep pain is transformed into wisdom and understanding. An inheritance, legacy or heirloom. Having access to the tools and knowledge you need. Be gentle with who you were and strong about who you will become.

If you are feeling lost, confused or are asking what life is all about, then it may be the perfect time to consult your original self. The one you keep hidden while you grow up and supposedly wiser around it. The sweet, loving, innocent you is not lost. Deep down, you are still that person. The original you exists outside of time, safe and awaiting rediscovery.

An underlying fear of success. New ideas threaten old ways. Positive change respects the past and the future – put your thinking cap on and brainstorm. Step outside of conformity and we’ll-meaning advice. Creative energy is generated through conversation and play. Be prepared for loud applause and the accompanying criticism. Experimentation recharges an interest. A sudden realization brings dramatic change.

An inspirational thought flows into your heart and something new is born. You are focused, inspired and intuitively guided towards success. Much is accomplished with seemingly little effort because the force of love and purpose is on your side. Your work and energy shall touch the hearts of many. Embrace your mental brilliance as part of your light.

BONUS

Put yourself forward. Stand in the sun. Grab an opportunity and run with it. Reach beyond the shade, out of the comfort of darkness, and step into life. Holding yourself back is counterintuitive. Doubt, fear, anxiety and grief may be part of your journey, but don’t let them be the journey. Reach out. Stretch yourself little by little, grow strong and LIVE!

In a fleeting moment of grace, in the space between your thoughts, you glimpse a silent bliss that is beyond words or description. This all-encompassing love is your soulful, spiritual center. It is without beginning or end. Reach for it, and this state of grace shall be a guiding light in this world and beyond. It is life … it is eternal.

Dwelling in an intensley santitized environment will set a form up for failure.

Adversity of all types is what strengthens the body, mind and Will.

Germs are necessary for the body to grow stronger.

Without them,

We relax into no-thing-ness.

Bye-Bye fantastic world many are too afraid to live in.

Oracle Reading 5-28-2020

Published May 28, 2020 by tindertender

In this reading you can read the italicized portion for a more Earthly meaning, the non-italics for a more Spiritual meaning, or both for a larger picture.

Giving something a try is not making a lifelong obligation. You can switch, swap, and refine your interests, friends, lovers, career, plans, home as often as you like. If something doesn’t fit right, try something new, and if that doesn’t work out, try something else. What you are looking for could be around the next corner. There is no failure in moving on or starting over.

Listen. Your heart is calling. A thirsty heart cannot be quenched by logic; it must drink from the well of life and be replenished. Each time it breaks, it comes to hold more, but it’s essence does not change. Your heart holds your truth in every breath. What does it say? Listen, and you shall be reborn.

Avoid comparison. It’s neither too soon nor too late to claim your life for yourself. There is no right way to live your life. There is no wrong way or set pace to follow your path. Be wary of false markers. It is not always time to harvest. Without periods of rest, planning and nurture, there may be no harvest.

Like invisible wheels, the seasons of life move through an eternal cycle of death and rebirth. What appears to begin, rise, fall away and end is but a small part in an endless journey without any clear start or climax. In the bright stillness of the divine mind, every journey flows through love. This is your journey, your time, your season. Shine!

All energy can be harnessed and used in myriad of ways. Just as elite athletes learn to use nervous energy to better their performance, it is up to you to draw energy stored in a negative experience to fuel your motivation, determination or creativity. Use whatever life sends you to your advantage. You can sit on the potential within you, or you can release it. It is your choice. This is not a matter of circumstance, ability or worthiness. Convert a possibility into a reality.

Through grace and love, we continue to transform. Nothing we do is lost or forgotten. As we release our hidden potentials, we create our destiny. One day we shall become stars. Through this process, many future Earths shall be born where we can live as one in the arms of the Divine Mother. The ground you walk on, the rain that falls, her love is stored in everything.

Insight: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It cannot appear from nowhere, nor can it disappear. All objects contain stored energy. This energy is measured in terms of its capacity or potential. Coal has the capacity to create heat. A stationary rock could roll downhill at a certain speed for a certain distance. The energy in running water has the potential to charge batteries. The potential is there, but the stored energy may sit dormant for millennia without ever being converted or utilized. This energy is neither negative or positive, but it can be used in any number of ways. Electricity can be used to hurt or return someone to life. There is potential in everything … in your memories, your hopes, your doubts, your strengths. How you use them is up to you.
