Daily Words of the Buddha for April 23, 2019

Pāli Word a Day for April 23, 2019 — anukkaṇṭhana — having no lack of anything, being contented or happy

Susukhaṃ vata jīvāma,
verinesu averino.
Verinesu manussesu,
viharāma averino.

Happy indeed we live,
friendly amidst the hostile.
Amidst hostile people
we dwell free from hatred.

Dhammapada 15.197
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita

RUMInations …

“I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.”

Card of the Day – Knight of Pentacles – Monday, April 22, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Mr. Reliable…our Knight of Pentacles is pretty much the most predictable, routine card in the deck. Not a bad card for a Monday, he can help you make it to work in a punctual manner, put forth a consistent work product, and never do things in a haphazard fashion. Ok, so maybe he sounds a bit boring, and not very adventurous, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

Today, with the Sun newly in Taurus, and Uranus there for the next seven years, one might think this earthy Knight was the perfect vibe for kicking off your work week. Somehow, there is always a catch, and you have probably been feeling it build over the last couple of days; go back and look at Saturday and Sunday’s cards…the 5 of Wands and the Devil, that struggle to break out and break free of old ways and constraints. Your intentions…

Pāli Word a Day for April 22, 2019 — jambhanā — arousing, activity, alertness

Imesu kira sajjanti,
Eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā;
Viggayha naṃ vivadanti
Janā ekaṅgadassino.

Are deeply attached to their own views;
People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Metaphysical Health | How Being An Empath can lead to Adrenal Fatigue, Insomnia & Exhaustion

Empaths can experience a sudden onset of chronic fatigue due to a significant crash in energy levels.

This can be caused by having a variety of emotional responsibilities, and also because we profusely leak our energy when we do not remain present, consciously aware, grounded, and balanced. […]

Hot women, Venus in Aries

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Yes, this girl is on fire. VENUS in ARIES is a warrior Goddess, a fighting feminist, an aggressive, competitive Wonder Woman incarnate.

April 20-May 15 Venus powers up new loves on all levels. 

Like popular media – all the new female superheroes, Black Widow, Supergirl. Wonder Woman, Xena, Hippolyta, Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games or ancient Goddesses Diana or Athena, Goddess of War, Brigid- she is fierce, fearless, strong, risk-taker who fights back and Demands HER RIGHTS! 

Sports superstars like Serena WIlliams, or performers like Beyonce, or Lady Gaga, or Oprah, or Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, or Gloria Steinem, or artist Yoko Ono or Judy Chicago or Madonna or Alice Walker, or a whole hostess of others.

Women by virtue of being born feminine ar naturally powerful.They hold all the power as they always have. Women will demand their rights to choose their own ways and will not tolerate any man…

Card of the Day – The Devil – Sunday, April 21, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

What do you do that holds you back from being the best version of you that you can be?  There is some form of self-sabotage going on here, and the time has come to break out of those old ways.  The Devil represents addictions, temptations, frustrations, feeling trapped, and, above all, your free will, and your ability to extricate yourself from situations that bind.

So, what do you do?  For some, it may be as obvious as diet, exercise, drugs, alcohol, internet, and the like, but for others it may be far less tangible, and much more about you being set in your ways.  Old patterns need to be broken now; it is highly likely that you are aware of them, but necessary for you to begin actually choosing to break them in your own best interest.

See you here tomorrow!

Royal Baby birth predictions by Tara Greene

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

The world is waiting with bated breath for the historical birth of the Royal Baby of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan which is expected at the end of April or the beginning of May.

I am going to predict when I sense the new American Royal baby will be born using astrology and my intuition.

The Prince and the Duchess have decided to keep news of the birth public which is entirely their decision to make. Despite the huge public interest in them and everything Duchess Meghan wears, does,or doesn’t do they are not in direct line to the Throne and have much more leeway. They are not celebrities. 

Duchess Meghan is a California girl and a thoroughly modern millennial. She has been imbued with yoga since she was a child by her yoga instructor mother Doria Ragland. Duchess Meghan has been embracing a more holistic, organic lifestyle incorporating modern…

HAppy Easter and Passover

The Big Pink Full Moon April 19 which is also a Blue Moon reminds me of that famous The Band album was recorded in the Saugerties in upstate New York in 1967-1968.Some of the Bands most famous songs came from their debut album Like The Weight. Bob dylan also recorded his Basement tapes with the band here in 1967

After the Full Moon,Moon enters Scorpio on Good Friday @ 5:41 am PDT/ 8:41 am EDT/ 12:41 am GMT.

The emotionally intense sign of power, control, secrets, our psychological shadows, soul, death and rebirth fits in with the symbolism of Easter perfectly.

Moon opposes Uranus

Expect expect major emotional quakes. Moods will be very up and down and chaotic.

Moon Quincunx’s Mercury and Chiron in Aries. There will be hurting words. Be careful not to lash out in anger especially with …

Card of the Day – 5 of Wands- Saturday, April 20, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Happy Saturday! The word of the day is conflict…so, I have a question for you? How are you dealing with yesterday’s Full Moon which occurred at 29° Libra? Bear in mind the Moon is now in intense Scorpio. Do you have a tendency to engage in every argument which comes your way? Or, do you do your best to avoid conflicts and find some sort of means to keep the peace and promote togetherness in your world? Today the Sun moves into Taurus, leaving Aries where it was exalted, and Venus leaves its comfy place in Pisces to move into Aries. The rose-colored glasses come off, and blunt words and actions may show themselves before the end of the day. Like I said…conflict.

Not all conflict is in your outer world. I would venture that while events surrounding you may be more visible to the naked eye, the real conflicts…

Local Grinds | Saimin for Breakfast

Even though the word “saimin” is derived from the Chinese, this noodle soup dish evolved in Hawaii during the sugar plantation days. Today, most local restaurants have saimin on their menus. People from outside of Hawaii do not know the word ”saimin”. And it’s not to be confused with ramen from Japan. The noodles are different. It’s definitely made in Hawaii.

Meditation | Pranayama: Learning the Art of Balanced Breathing
