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

King of Cups Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop the negative talk, and start the positive walk!
~ Springwolf

Things aren’t going to fall apart, even if you turn them upside down. You’ve got to stop worrying! Stop expecting the other shoe to drop and focus on what you can do, instead of what you can’t or don’t have. You must believe in yourself and focus on what has changed; because they have changed for the better. Don’t keep pulling the negative toward you, and allow the positive to do its magik!


Additional Insight:

You’ve been work so hard on making positive changes in your life, yet you’re still fighting against them. Why? Believe in yourself, even when no one else does!

You have already proven you can do this, so just get to it. Stop listening to the critics in your head, they don’t really know you or what you’ve been through. Stop listening to the past fears and worries, because they no longer have influence or meaning over your actions today. Stop replaying the negative scenarios in your mind’s eye, for they will never come to fruition unless you make them happen.

How you “think” will create how you feel, what you face and how you deal with it in the reality of the here and now. So “think” about what you have already changed for the better. Take note of the blessings that have already gotten the ball rolling for you and in the direction you want to go. Focus on the choices you’ve made to turn things around and upside down to shake out the negative influences and controls. You’ve done a great deal already and you should use those positive changes and the energy you’ve expended upon them to lift you up and move on.

Stay focused on your plans to move things forward and the projects you’re already working on. Some of them maybe tedious, but your efforts will pay off in the end! They’ve already started paying off now. So stop the negative talk and start the positive walk!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Strength – Inverted

Strength Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stay warm and covered up. The blah feeling of a cold will subside soon enough. Don’t over do it today. Focus on the little things that need to get done. You’ll knock them out one after the other and have a much more productive day than you thought you might have. But don’t over do it. You’re already burning the candle at both ends. Exerting more energy than you have to could cause a mild discomfort to become a full blown cold or bigger issue. Take it easy today!


Additional Insight:

You don’t need to make more work for yourself, you already have enough on your plate. But you’re letting all the little things pile up and causing you to feel overwhelmed. There’s no need for that.

Today is a perfect day to prioritize your To Do list by size and then by due date. Start with tackling all the little things that will clear your desk and help to relieve some of the stress on your shoulders.

The more you knock off the little things the more time you’ll find for the big imperative projects. Like yesterday, sometimes you have to slow down in order to go fast and get things done.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles –

Ten of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t over do it today. Take some time to share with friends and visit. Catch up on news and share your own. Make it a relaxing day. You can still get a lot done if you slow down and take your time. Rushing through your list of things to do will cause you to miss something important. So take a break or two, or four. You’ll be surprised at how fast things go, when you slow down a little.

.


Additional Insight:

Don’t dwell on the adversaries or worry about the issues you have no control over. Those things are in the past and can no longer cause problems. You’re worrying over nothing. Things have changed, for the better! Get used to it.

So take your time and look at what is imperative and what can wait till tomorrow. Prioritize your day, not only your list of things to do. Give yourself some time to relax and catch up with the friends that are close to you and know what you’ve been going through. They’ll be glad to hear from you.

If you have to work into the evening, make sure you pick a time to quit. Working all day without a break will burn you out and bring you down even farther than you want to be. You really must let go of what has been if you want the changes you’ve made to bring in prosperity and success. Things really are different! So stop looking at them as if they’re the same. Because they’re not!

Fluid Plans Can Bring Unexpected Successes

Successful Changes

Change Happens, Sometimes For The Better

It’s been an amazingly busy week on all fronts in my life. It seems when you make a little change that releases a negative anchor so many things are freed and begin to move forward. Even things that have nothing to do with the anchor in the first place.

The flow of energy in and around our lives can touch and connect to so many other things we never expect. We talk about it, we may even know it. But sometimes we don’t really acknowledge it until it happens on a personal level and we sit back and say “Wow”.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Empress

The Empress

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Think about your ideas. Give them time to grow, plan the details, work out the scenarios if you take this path over that road. Consider all the potential consequences you can think of. It’s important to take time and think about your creations before they arrive today. Make sure you’re ready for the events that will take place. If you’re not, things may fall apart or they may not happen at all.


Additional Insight:

Ideas take time to develop into workable solutions or creations. Inspiration is a great thing when you’re developing a piece of art. But working from a place of sheer inspiration when you’re trying to implement a plan of action can short change your creation.

Don’t be in such a rush to put things into place before they’re ready. Things that are worthwhile take time, thought, planning and energy to last. If you rush in to quickly, you could miss some imperative steps that will sustain your idea over the long haul. You could be pushing others into something they’re not ready to do yet. You could be pushing your cart over a cliff, because you didn’t take time to check the map and ensure your driving in the right direction.

Be patient, not only with your desire to get things going, but with yourself as well. Even you have a few things to learn before you get this idea off the ground. While this is something you really want to do, make sure you understand how it’s going to change your life. If you work on this plan, you will have to divert time from other things. Are you really sure that’s what you want to do? Can you handle backing off on other things that are very important to you, in order to make time for this new project?

Take your time. Think it through and make sure this is really what you want to do! If so, go for it! You can align your energy with the Divine in your life, see the pitfalls, plan for the work around solutions and make it happen! You can, because you are one with the Divine Creation!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Pentacles

5 of Pentacles - Inverted

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

Ten of Pentacles - Inverted

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

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

3 of Pentacles - Inverted

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.
