Thoughts & Prayers For U.S. Embassy Staff

Patriotic Wolf – Artist Unknown

For All Those In The Middle-East

Everyone here at Spring’s Haven extends our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of those killed in the middle east this week. The people who serve their country in military or civilian service in places where the U.S. is often seen as the enemy are more than patriotic. They know the inherent danger and hope their work and interactions with the people of these countries will make a difference to promote tolerance, peace and understanding. Each of them is a hero for the sacrifices they make on a daily basis. Especially for those who gave their lives in service to their nation.

May the Great Spirits watch over each and every one of these brave souls, their families and friends so they may find the strength to endure the consequences of these tragic events.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Pentacles

Sep13

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’ve worked hard all summer in your garden. You’re burning the candle at both ends and overworking yourself. While you may feel you “need” to do this, you’re using up your supply of energy and eventually your physical body will break down and force you to rest. Avoid the cold and get some rest.

Additional Insight:

Not only do you need some sleep; you need to really rest and relax. Make plans today to clear your calendar for at least 1, better 2 days of down time. Don’t set time aside to go on a hike or adventure. While that might help you release pent up stress, it will be a physical excursion that your body cannot spare right now. You need to set some time aside where you can simply chill out, lay on the couch, read a book, watch an old movie and take a nap or two…or four.

If you don’t take care of yourself physical self and your mental stress, you won’t be able to take care of business. You will lose less time and use less energy if you take this short 1 or 2 day break over the next 5 days.

Everything you’re working on will still be there and can wait for your full attention. Begin planning your down time today and you’ll be able to tie up some loose ends, organize projects for next week and feel comfortable in finding some time for YOU to relax and goof off for a day or two.

All work and no play really can make you sick. Take a little time to play….for your own good.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles – Inverted

Sep12

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Keep your rewards hidden from others outside your immediate family. There are many who want something for nothing. You’ve worked to hard and have been through way to much to give it all away when you are still recovering from your own hardships. It’s ok to take care of you and your family first. Don’t let others try to guilt you into doing something you’re not comfortable with doing in the first place.

Additional Insight:

You know better than anyone how quickly things can change. Just because you’re doing ok this week, doesn’t mean you’ll be ok 3 weeks from now. You have depleted a lot of your own pantry and you must focus on rebuilding security for your home and family before you can start repaying to others.

But it’s not those you feel you owe a debt to that will be knocking on your door for a hand out. While you understand their struggle, don’t buy into their melodrama. You’ve been through much worse and worked through it. They may not know what you’ve been through, nor do you need to explain it to them. So don’t give into the tears, the over dramatization and attempts to guilt you into giving them your shirt. There’s something not right about their story in the first place.

Allow you and yours to enjoy the extra harvest from your own garden. Things have turned around, your energy and focus have moved beyond the barriers that were in front of you. You’ve let go of the negative forces that were holding you back. Now it’s time for you rebuild and find the security and easy road from here on out. You’ve done a great ob getting through it all. Be proud of yourself for enduring. You did it!

We Remember In Respect, Compassion And Love

Sep11

September 11, 2001

It was 11 years ago today when the unthinkable became reality, forever changing our lives. Known simply as “9/11”, this date should be remembered for the innocent victims in New York City, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pa.

Along with the first responders in all three locations, some of whom lost their lives in the service to their communities and to those in dire need of assistance. Not only in the early moments of the tragedies, but in the waning hours and over the months as they themselves fell victim to the unseen weapons in the aftermath that eventually attacked their own bodies and claimed their lives.

And to all those servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the resulting War on Terror in far away lands and even here at home.

We will Never forget.

Our prayers and compassion to all of these people, their family and friends. May the GreatSpirits give strength to endure and love to remember.

So it is.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Pentacles – Inverted

Sep11

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You will find what you need if you relax and allow it to come to you. Your stress and anxiety builds a shield of doubt and negativity around you. Like a bubble it keeps out the things you need the most. Relax, listen, appreciate what you have and allow those close to you to express both their worries and ideas. They can help you achieve your goals faster than you think possible.

Additional Insight:

Support is a two way street. Don’t lose what you need most, because you are so busy trying to get what you want.

You’re not the only one struggling to make things happen. While your focus is about what’s on your shoulders, don’t forget someone else is sharing your burden. Careful you don’t shut them out and ignore the support they need to help you.

Everyone needs someone to talk to, whiter it’s to share worries or concerns. Or to express ideas and views. Everyone wants to be heard. It’s not always about you.

The worry and burdens you feel on your shoulders can bury you so far down that you forget you’re not the only one who’s trying to hold them up. Be cautious in how you try to meet your responsibilities. You may find the one person that was there helping you hold up the world, has walked away under their own strain and stress. You might find not only a heavier world; but a greater loss of what you needed and wanted in your life has gone.

The U.S. Constitution and Religion

Sep10

The U.S. War On Religion

The President of the United States swears a pledge of office stating they will up hold the Constitution of the United States.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

The 1st Amendment protects ALL religions and the exercise of those religions by a free people. But that also means that no one religion may be favored or set above the rights of others. Your right to pray to the cross can not and must not force your beliefs upon this free society and the rights of others to practice their own religion or none at all.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Eight of Wands – Inverted

Sep10

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The spears of conflict are not aimed at you any longer, so stop looking for them to come your way. Pay attention to the battle between your selves. The old you and the new you are still overcoming conflict. You’re not the same person you were. You’re not in the exact same situation you were in the past, because you’re not the same person. So stop trying to deal with the challenges today as if you were. Let the past go and focus on the here and now.

Additional Insight:

Take a moment to look at what’s different. Many of the challenges and nay-sayers are not in the present. They’re only in your head. Look at the support around you today. It wasn’t there at all in the past. Look at yourself and what you know today compared to what you didn’t know back then. There’s something to be said for “live and learn”.

It’s ok to feel confident about your path. There’s a difference between confidence and wisdom, and confidence and ego. Being humble isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of wisdom. Being arrogant is allowing your ego to put up blinders to things you need to see.

Find the balance between the past and the present; as well as between your inner confidence and ego. If you can do this; it will be an extremely productive day. If you can’t, you will face additional lessons that you simply don’t have time for.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool – Inverted

Sep7

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You won’t play the part of the fool today, the knowledge and energy of success is on your side. You hold the crystal ball to the future; where as others are viewing through short sighted ego. Allow the healing of this new situation to take place over your conscious thoughts. Don’t allow the stress of others to impact your day. Your garden is blooming and ready to celebrate in a bountiful explosion of color and bright energy.

Additional Insight:

Seize The Day! Keep your focus and you’ll surf through the weeds with ease. The healing taking place comes from new supportive energy that you didn’t have in the past. Stop thinking that this situation is the same now as it was then, because it’s not. The new support is what makes it so much different. Allow their compassion, kindness and support to heal your worries of the past and stay focused on what’s before you.

The more your adversary fights, the more they will lose focus and the less likely they are to win any part of this battle. Let them get angry; it’s in your favor. But it’s vitally important that you do not allow their anger to anger you. Remaining calm, thoughtful and collected; even smiling or laughing at their attempts to intimidate you; will keep the positive energy of success on your side. And it will do more to feed their scattered thoughts and anger anyway.

Make sure you keep an eye on all sides of the battlefield. There are by-standers who have a soldier in this fight as well. They are worried and concerned as well. Their loyalty can fall on either side as they try to assess what’s best for them. So make sure they’re not working out a way to get behind you and stab you in the back. But also make sure you can utilize their efforts to defend their camp as opportunities against your main adversary. You will win the day – if you remain calm and focused on the long term plan! You can do this with the help of the Divine, your higher consciousness and your focus on success!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Death

Sep6

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s the end of the chapter and time to give way to new adventures, new people, and new ways of thinking. You can spend your time searching for what you lost; or you can spend it looking forward for what you need. Sometimes the things we have lost are things we didn’t need in our lives. And what we have to look forward to is better what we really wanted in the first place.

Additional Insight:

Don’t spend your time in the darkness, dwelling over what you lost. You can waste a lot of time and energy over what you thought you wanted. Don’t dig a deeper hole that will be harder to get out of in the end.

Sometimes the Divine Universe will force us out of a situation because we’re too stubborn to see that it’s time to move on. There’s something better waiting for us over the next hill. But we have to take the path to get there.

Stand on the bones of the past to get a better view above the darkness below. Take what you’ve learned and prepare for the future with greater awareness of what you “need” vs. what you “think” you want. Put your faith in the higher Divine Consciousness of self and the greater Divine Spirit in your life.

Be open to new ideas and new people who bring new information. Participate in new situations that bring new experiences. Take an active role in your life and help create the opportunities for what you really need. You’ll be glad you did. And you’ll realize….you really do deserve better and you’re open to receiving it.
