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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t allow adversity to pull you away from those who are closest to you. It’s not their fault things have happened the way they have. So why are you taking your anger out on them? Now more than ever you should be leaning on each other and helping each other find the strength to endure, improvise, adapt and overcome!

Additional Insight:

Stress and anxiety can be overwhelming in anyone’s life. But can put extra unnecessary burdens on relationships as well. It can develop an atmosphere of “us against them” or “me against everyone else” which includes those closest to you.

The challenges in life are not created by one person inside a bubble. Everyone of us has a responsibility to the issues in our lives. We made choices, perhaps years ago, that have come into manifestation today. Thus we are equally responsible for the events that land on our path regardless of what someone has or has not done.

Don’t blame someone else who you’ve been close to for your struggles. Take on the shared responsibility and face the issues as a united front. You will find someone to lean on when you need help standing up for another day. Tomorrow you can be there for them when they need propping up.

Respect for each other will keep your love and compassion alive and working together instead of fighting within the ranks and destroying your world at every angle and every turn. It doesn’t matter if your partner is a spouse, family member or your personal relationship with the Divine in your life.

Use your energies to support and heal within, and you will find the strength to endure, the creative innovation to overcome and the wisdom to succeed. Align your energies for the united good of all and you will obtain the peace, security and happiness you deserve.

Remember to put your beliefs into practice: 5 Minute Alignment Meditation – connect to the Divine in your life for strength, insight and the creative energy to overcome any issue you face.

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

Dec18

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s easy to become weary from battles and want to pull away from everything and everyone. But others depend on you and need you to persevere. You asked to be the warrior and protector; now is the time to stand up in that role and be what you’ve wanted to be. You are stronger than you think you are. So don’t give up and run away.

Additional Insight:

You have overcome so much in your life already. This struggle is difficult, but it’s not the first time you’ve faced hardship and worry. What you have learned from the past challenges in your life will serve you to get through this one. It only takes one step at a time to move forward and keep from falling back.

Don’t wait on others to push you forward. It’s not their ob to hold themselves up and you too. They are just as wore out and tired as you are. You can’t ask them to more than they have left. After all they have been on the front lines fighting the adversaries head on while you’ve been behind the scenes working away in hiding.

Now it’s time to let them step back while you take the point. You may not want to, you may think you don’t have it in you to succeed. But you do. You have more skill and knowledge than you give yourself credit for and you have the strength to carry it through. You really can do this and be the hero those around you need you to be.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Strength

Dec17

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Find Strength in the compassion and love around you. Allow healing to begin from within. Don’t push others away and try to walk this road alone. It’s too easy to become lost and give up. It’s to easy to fall into the darkness and become consumed by despair. It’s hard to remember that you’re not the only one hurting. But try to share the compassion you receive. Others need it too.

Additional Insight:

I’m surprised by this card today, yet it’s so appropriate on so many levels. There are many who are facing trials both great and small today. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and stressed out by hardships no matter what they are. What you think is a trivial thing could be the very last straw dropped on someone’s back and they can no longer carry all the weight that built up over the last few days, months or even years.

In those times of struggle we need to be there for each other. We need to listen and share in the compassion and love around us. There’s something to be said for sharing the tears of pain and helping each other through the darkness of sorrow.

Yes some struggles are more dire than others. Some run deeper and some hit the very essence of our soul. But all deserve kindness, support and consideration. Whither it be spending an extra moment of your time to help someone in need, giving a hug to lift someone up or reassuring someone close to you that you’re there by their side to lean on, all acts of compassion can ease someone’s spirit. And it can even help ease your own.

Let them cry, let them scream, hold their hand and endure or share the release of emotion. Could be they’ll be there for you one day. Helping you to stand and not runaway into the depths of the darkness and solitude.

Help Victims Of Newtown, Connecticut

Visit CNN’s Tribute To Victims

Funeral Protests Planned By Hate Group

I learned this evening that the hate group “Westboro Baptist Church” (not that I think you can call these people a church) has released information that they are planning to picket the funerals of the victims of Friday’s tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Everyone here at Spring’s Haven denounces these hateful insensitive actions and we ask for compassion as this community grieves.

Even members of Anonymous have begun an Operation against the Church to discourage them from protesting at the school and compounding the misery already experienced by Newtown residents.

There are several things you can do to help stop this devastating action to inflict more pain on these parents, families and friends of these precious victims.

If you live near Newtown, Connecticut organize a “Human Wall” to peacefully block this hate group from getting anywhere near these funerals. Efforts like this have been successful in the past (Huffington Post) and have overshadowed the hate from this group.
Sign a petition on Whitehouse.gov to Legally recognize Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.
Visit CNN to find out how you can provide help for the community of Newtown. They have a great list of organizations who are sharing a wide range of support to families and the community in general.
Share these efforts with others and spread the news!

This hate group must not be allowed to inflict their ignorant bigotry and hate on this community. They have already suffered so much and no one should remain silent and allow this to happen. Please help provide your peaceful support to these efforts.

Help Us Help Others – Update

Help Us Grow Our Services
To Help Those In Need

Spring’s Haven Summer Campaign

Over the summer we held a fund raising campaign to Help Us Help Others in need. We began our campaign on August 3rd and it ran through to Samhain on October 31st. We focused on requests we received from people who are shut-in at home due to illness or tragedy, as well as, military personnel who are looking for someone to talk to and who holds the same spiritual beliefs.

We shared A Story of Hope and A Smile Can Help Someone Survive to share how our efforts will help those we have heard from.

Our campaign was a success and we couldn’t say Thank you enough to our sponsors for their generosity!. We raised enough to purchase 1 ipad and expand our services for digital face to face consultations and counseling. We couldn’t have done it without our wonderful friends who supported our effort!

Prayers & Sympathies To Newtown, Connecticut

Our Deepest Sympathies To The Community Of Newtown, Connecticut

Our hearts and prayers go out to the families, friends and the community of the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel over the tragic loss of so many young innocent lives. Our sympathies, love and support we send out to all families and friends of those have been taken from this world too soon. We pray that the GreatSpirits welcome them with love and compassion. And that each and everyone touched by this devastating tragedy is illuminated and comforted in Divine Light. May you find the strength to endure and live on to hold their memories in your hearts.

I hope the following articles help those looking for ways to cope:
1. When Tragedy Strikes: When Bad Things Happen To Good People
2. Dealing With Trials and Grief

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Wands

Dec14

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let the past go. You’ve done all you can and it’s time to move forward. It is what it is for a reason. You may not see it now, but it will become clear in 7 cycles. If you continue to fight for the past, you will prolong the sorrow. Change isn’t easy, but at this time; it is necessary.

Additional Insight:

Haven’t you struggled enough? You’ve been fighting the changes around you and trying to hold onto the old patterns for long enough. The Divine Universe has tried to show you the way to the path you should be taking, but you keep looking behind you. What has been is gone. Put it to rest and let it go.

You’ve mourned, you’ve become angry and you’ve struggled. Now turn all that energy toward what lies ahead and welcome the changes. Spread your wings and take the journey with excitement and joyful anticipation. You’ll be glad you did. And you’ll find yourself in a much happier and better place.

Allow all efforts you’ve made to change, to work its magik and manifest from Divine Creation. Let the wands wave and the inspiration of your spirit take you in the needed direction! You may just find, it’s not only where you need to go, but where you want to be as well.

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

Dec13

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t splurge. Sit on what you have. The real important possessions are held in those you are closest to. It’s not in the material things you’d like to have. Those possessions won’t comfort you when you’re down, they won’t hug you when you need love and they won’t celebrate with you when you rise above the struggles. Focus on the quality of time together. The the quantity of “things”.

Additional Insight:

Our society is focused too much on what you have in the material world and not what you have within your spiritual world. Many people can’t afford to celebrate the holidays with giant presents under a tree, if they have a tree at all. The Cosmic shift in energy that’s occurring is helping to remind us of what’s really important. You can fight it and be left behind. Or you can allow the change to guide your steps and change your view.

Instead of being upset that you don’t have the latest gadget to spend time away from you family. Get out a game board and spend time WITH your family. Laugh together, share stories and memories. Go outside and walk in the woods. Point out the little things in nature that you’ve been missing all this time and remember what life is really about.

The love and compassion you share between each other is the real focus of the cosmic shift. Survival of the most spiritual isn’t about what you can buy, how big your house is, or how fancy your car is. It’s about how you relate to those in the world around you. Do you see them? Or can’t you see past the screen on you pc, tablet or smart phone. How many times have your kids said “Mom”/”Dad” and you ignore them because you’re focused on the next text message, or Tweet, or story notification on your phone?

Your survival depends on you. Not on whither or not you picked up and shared the latest bogus internet story. So disconnect and focus on the eyes of your child, the smile of your partner, or the love from your parents, siblings or best friend. These are the signs of abundance. Enjoy them.

Today is December 12, 2012 – Does It Mean Anything?

Today Is 12/12/12

Today even Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson got into the excitement on Twitter. At 12:12 he sent a tweet:
@neiltyson If you happen to enjoy the uniqueness of 12h 12m 12s 12/12/12, then don’t forget 12h 12m 13s 12/12/12. It’s just as rare.
He timed his tweet pretty well too. It was sent at 12h:12m:13s on 12/12/12. Truth be told, I started writing this post at 12:12, and thus the publish date/time looks pretty good too. 😉

And he wasn’t the only one marking the occasion. Our local NBC News station here in Richmond rang in the moment with party horns and cheers. For them it was 12:12:12: on the 12/12/12 on NBC12. You can’t make this stuff up people.
@AndrewFreiden Wish you were here!!! pic.twitter.com/nyBOe62w.

For many this unique occurrence was simply a good time to break the work or school day up and have a little fun. The repeated pattern is cute, unique and it won’t happen again for 89 years. For others who believe in Numerology, it’s a time to mark the occasion with spiritual energy, cosmic interpretation or psychic prophecy. Continue reading →
