Month: November 2016

Stay mindful of the give and take required for all successful relationships.  If things are feeling out of balance for you generally, know that they are about to get substantially better.  Keep your eyes on the prize that you’re looking for, metaphorically, and remain or get positive.  A spiritual partnership with just one other person may be greatly beneficial to you now.  Remember too that you are also always spiritually in partnership with yourself as well.  Remember to take time and space to care well for yourself spiritually and emotionally.  This is an essential ingredient to having spiritually successful relationships with others.  Begin with yourself.

Wishful thinking can take it’s toll on the spiritual aspect of life.  We can get caught up in self-pity or wistful thoughts of “could have-would have-should have” thinking, which tends to blind us to the beauty of what IS in our lives in this Moment.   Remember to pay attention to what “is” in your Now and the many blessings we each currently experience.  Do not worry so much about what-could-be because it’s too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we do not have.  Counting your blessings and remaining constant and grounded in the present moment is key today.  Don’t spend too much time in self-pity or wishing your life away.  A lot of life has to do with where we place our focus.  Place your focus on the things and people in your life for which you ought to be thankful.  Today is a great day to either create and maintain a gratitude journal, or take a moment to make an entry in one you’ve already started.  If you can’t keep such a journal, then write down things you feel grateful for every day on a piece of paper.  Make a list of 20 people, situations and/or things in your life that you are grateful for right now.  This activity will elevate your mindset quickly.

Something in your life is harmful and you know it.  Today it is time to let it go.  It’s going to hurt, but this release is also going to create beautiful space for something better.  The sooner you can let go, the sooner you’ll be able to heal.  This card indicates some sort of difficult loss.  Whether it is the end of a relationship, the loss of trust due to betrayal, rejection, losing your job, the end of some sort of ailment through surgery, or letting go of some sort of way of thinking that has ceased to be useful, the loss will not be easy.  However, this release will make room for further grown and maturity.  It is difficult to be optimistic when we are in pain, but pain is a strong motivator to change.  When you feel pain, and do something to fix it, you grow.

Today is about nurturing your creativity.  Do something you love to do:  make art, cook a meal, beautify your home, spend time with your children, work in your garden.  Wherever you focus your loving attention today there will be healthy growth.  It is time to create!  Your environment offers you the abundance you need to feel nurtured and comfortable so that you can manifest your vision in the world.  Be sure to nourish yourself with whole foods.  Indulge all of your senses.  Connect with nature by working in a garden or deeply inhaling the scent of trees and flowers.  Connecting with creative, empowered people will enhance your creative spirit.  It is a time to celebrate your fertile, sensual, creative Self.

Today is about giving and receiving and the balance between them.  Show your gratitude for what you have received by giving to charity, or helping another with resources.  Pay it back.  Pay it forward.  Perhaps if you have been giving of yourself, today you will see your effort returned.  Don’t be too proud to accept help from those that have more.  What goes around comes around.  Pay attention to how you use your energy and resources.  If you feel resentful or exhausted, look for ways to give in a more balanced manner.  If you are not getting what you expect in a situation, look at what you are giving.
