Changes on The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST on the Tenacity Radio Network
May 9, 2012 – Spring’s Haven News Release

This is an update from the May 8th post here on Springwolf Reflections

Some of you may know that I’ve filled in a couple of times on The Ænigma Project. The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

After the show on Monday May 6th, creator and host Paul Cagle offered a permanent place at round table to Spring and she accepted enthusiastically! “I’m terribly excited to open this new chapter in my life and look forward to the future topics and interesting guests Paul finds to sit at the table with Sushi and myself” she said.

This morning The Ænigma Project announced “Due to personal issues in her life, as well as an overburdened schedule, S.E. has decided to leave the Ænigma Project. This is an amicable situation and we wish her the best!” Paul Cagle said, adding “We are thankful to have Springwolf join us in this insanity”. Growing Pains: TÆP announcement.

“Everyone is going to miss S.E.Burns and her wonderful insights. Especially me. But we all wish her well and hope she’ll be able to come back to the table soon.” Spring responded after the announcement. “She means a lot to me and I know this isn’t the last we’ll hear from S.E.”

You can still find S.E. on her show “Got Style?” also on Tenacity Radio.

We hope everyone will tune in every Monday at 9PM EST to listen to our discussion. You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or you can check out the may ways you can listen in your car, at work, at home or on the go. We always have a lot of fun!

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

May9

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t throw out the sour grapes, recycle them. Use your energy to motivate you instead of letting it drag you down. Anger and frustration can be powerful tools to get you out of your rut and reinvigorate your desire to improve your work, personal life or both. So stop the blasted pouting, get up and get going now! You can do this!!

Additional Insight:

These events are all trying to teach you something. How you handle failure is equally important as how you handle success. Stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself like you’re the only one struggling and fighting against the system. There is always someone who has it a lot worse than you do.

Instead of getting down and depressed, allow yourself to be human and feel your emotions. Anger and frustration are not bad things when controlled and used properly. So get angry and use that energy to motivate you into standing up for yourself. Fight for your path and where you want it to go. Learn from your mistakes, learn the lessons of hardship and decide what you need change in order to adjust your efforts and move them forward. Improvise, adapt and overcome should be your motto for the rest of this month!

Align your energies with the Divine force in your life. Stop saying you don’t have time or you can’t meditate. Stop making excuses for the things you can do, but aren’t doing and WORK for what you want! No one is going to hand it to you on a silver platter. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Taking A Permanent Seat At The Ænigma Project Table!

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST on the Tenacity Radio Network

Some of you may know that I’ve filled in a couple of times on The Ænigma Project. Last night after the show, host Paul Cagle offered a permanent place at round table and I enthusiastically! I’m terribly excited to open this new chapter in my life and look forward to the future topics and interesting guests Paul finds to sit at the table with Sushi, S.E. Burns and myself.

My first “official” show will be May 14th when we discuss Soul Mates. I hope everyone will tune in every Monday at 9PM EST to listen to our discussion.

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. We always have a lot of fun!

Paganism vs Satanism – Learning About Tolerance

May8

Tolerance And Unconditional Love

I have always contended that the more we learn about each other, the more we build tolerance and peace within the world. I was invited to a round table discussion on The Ænigma Project to discuss Satanism. When I shared that appearance with friends and colleagues they were turned off. A few immediately said “Why are you talking about such a dark subject?” or “I avoid that scary stuff”. This from people who claim that their purpose in life is to practice and teach “unconditional love”. Well I don’t believe in unconditional love, but interestingly enough I seem to be the one practicing it, along with the other members of the show’s panel and those who did tuned in.

I can appreciate the “ickiness” perspective from the general public. But from colleagues, I must say I was highly disappointed. Being open minded and practicing what you preach is a necessity to any spiritual leader, teacher or minister/priest/priestess. If you can’t walk your talk, who are you serving? Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Cups – Inverted

May8

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Fan the flames and you risk losing everything. Let the pouters pout, let the childish ones act childish. Walk away and go on about your business. Keep your distance if you have to, but don’t feed the fire and add to the heated rhetoric! Avoid the conflict!!

Additional Insight:

Petty distractions will only keep you from doing what needs to be done. Don’t allow the mood of others to spill over into your day and stink up your garden. Let them rant and rave, but don’t allow them to bait you into an argument and pull you down to their level. Their issue isn’t really about you or what you’re doing. They’re simply trying to push your buttons and make you as miserable as they are. Give them the silent treatment today. Avoid their calls and childish actions. Things will calm down tomorrow and you can share some laughs again.

Science is catching up with what spiritual energy healers have known for years. That trained holistic healers can and do affect change over long distances with energy.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Swords

May7

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even though you may feel restricted or stuck in the muck, you can still nurture your dreams and ambitions. Remember everything happens for a reason in its right time and pace. Don’t push things too quickly or you could struggle longer than is necessary. Allow things to fall into place as they may this week. Continue planning and working behind the scenes to prepare for breaking the ties of the past or present. But don’t break anything yet!

Additional Insight:

This is the last week of the 3 week struggle. Seven more days to be cautious, don’t burn your bridges too soon, and hold on for the rest of the world to catch up to you. Don’t let your frustrations with those around you, or the situations at hand to push you into doing something you might regret next week. Patience, strength and trust that the Divine is on your side will get you through these next seven days. Hang in there!!! You’re going to be ok!

Aroma Therapy For A Good Night’s Sleep

May5

How Do We Sleep

In today’s world of stress and anxiety many people are suffering from insomnia or restless sleep. A warm cup of milk, a relaxing meditation or even the soothing sounds of a gentle surf playing on your stereo can help ease tension. But sleep doesn’t often bring relief for everyone. Some people take their fears and tears into the night and play them out through dreams. Restless dreams or nightmares can be just as disruptive as no sleep at all. While analyzing your dreams might be helpful to resolving issues, sometimes you simply want a good nights sleep, a nice deep refreshing sleep!

Learning a little about the mechanics of sleep may help in understanding how we affect ourselves during the day and create bad sleeping patterns at night. Which is kind of circular in its process. Deep in your brain you have a “Master Clock” that coordinates a series of biological clocks that exist throughout your body. The biological clocks are a grouping of interacting molecules in the cells through out your body. These biological clocks control the Circadian rhythms, which are found in most living things. Including animals, plants and many tiny microbes. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organism’s environment. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Eight of Pentacles –

May4

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t break the bridges of the past, you may need them for your future success. While you have some very strong relationships to support you in your coming endeavors, there are a few you maybe looking forward to cutting. Be careful who you distance yourself from. Some of those acquaintances maybe your saving grace in the months to come.

Additional Insight:

While you have two great partners in your basket to support you and help you move forward on your plans, you need those you’ve worked with before. Don’t burn your bridges! The next 8 months are crucial for building new relationships and strengthening old ones. Even though things are working out well to bring your plans together, there are some ‘necessary evils’ to maintain. Yes they’re annoying, yes they’re frustrating; but keeping them on your side will be 10 times better than making them an enemy and having to deal with the turmoil they can create for you.

Remember that sometimes success comes from not what you know, but who you know!

Which reminds me of another infamous phrase we used to use in the top 10 corporate world; It’s not what it says, it’s what it looks like that matters most.

“Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith.
Not hope, but faith.
I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.
Hope walks through the fire and Faith leaps over it.”

“I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less. And I am one of the seven billion human being. Basically we are the same… your emotion, my emotion, your mind, my mind.., same physical. So I always look [at it] that way. We are the same.”

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
