Card of the Day – 3 of Pentacles – Wednesday, March 20, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Happy New Year and Full Moon blessings! Today marks a huge day of shifting energy on the calendar, as the astrological year gets underway at the time of the Vernal Equinox, with the Sun’s ingress to Aries, followed a few hours later by the first of two Libra Full Moons, this one being a Supermoon and at 0°. So what are your plans for the coming year?

The 3 of Pentacles is a great card to kick off the New Year, providing the perfect timing for tweaking your game plan. Do remember that Mercury is retrograde, so results today are not the goal. Over the next twelve months, you will have the opportunity to restructure and repair your life, more to your liking, giving it more than just slapping on a fresh coat of paint. This card allows you to assemble a team, one which can work within the blueprints…

Daily Words of the Buddha for March 18, 2019

Pāli Word a Day for March 18, 2019 — asaṅkhata— unconditioned, not put together, not proceeding from a cause [synonym for nibbāna]

Saddhīdha vittaṃ purisassa seṭṭhaṃ
Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahāti.
Saccaṃ have sādutaraṃ rasānaṃ.
Paññājīviṃ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhaṃ.

Conviction is a person’s highest wealth.
Dhamma, when well-practiced, brings bliss.
Truth is the highest of tastes.
Living with discernment, one’s life is called best.

Card of the Day – 9 of Wands – Sunday, March 17, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Do you listen to music to help you get through difficult tasks? There is no shortage of appropriate music for the 9 of Wands, ‘I Will Survive’, ‘I’m Still Standing’, and, the one which works best for today, ‘Eye of the Tiger’. Feel free to play it loud, so long as you are not disturbing anyone else.

Under today’s Leo Moon, it is more like the eye of the lion, making you fierce, determined, and persistent with its fiery energy. You may use this to help you power through a situation, even when you do not think you can do it. If you have felt as though any recent events have not only knocked the wind out of you, but perhaps even knocked you down, today, you can rise again, a little weary perhaps, but steadfast in seeing your changes come to life.

See you here tomorrow!

Pāli Word a Day for March 17, 2019 — atthaṅgamāya — for the extinguishing of [suffering]

Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena vihiṃsati,
attano sukhamesāno,
pecca so na labhate sukhaṃ.

Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena na hiṃsati,
attano sukhamesāno,
pecca so labhate sukhaṃ.

Whoever takes a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with no ease after death.

Whoever doesn’t take a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with ease after death.

Udāna 2.13
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Scientists: “Put This In Your Home, It’s Like A Mousetrap For Mold Toxins”

I almost jumped out of the shower when I saw it.

In the corner, behind the shampoos, along the tile — black spots of mold, shooting out toxic spores into the air.

Suddenly it all made sense. I’d been experiencing headaches for a few weeks, and I normally never get headaches. My nose and sinuses were also stuffed up. It was the mold that was causing it, and I had to do something about it immediately.  […]

The Dust Has Settled, Time to Move Forward

Lisa Rising Berry's avatarRising Frequencies Blog By Lisa Rising Berry

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a little while since my last article.  A lot has been happening in my world. Like everyone else, I have been letting go of the old and bringing in the new.  Which will be a theme for this article today. I have started my Lama training, which has made my life very interesting.  This training also takes place in the astral and etheric as well, and it is really affecting my current physical body. I have been reading a book called “Daughter Of Fire”, which was written by Irina Tweedie.  It’s about her experiences while she was being trained by a Sufi Master. I have considered keeping a journal of my experiences while being trained in the Bon Tradition. There are not many, if any American female Bon Lama’s because it takes many years and the training is extensive.  I think people might want to know…

Busy Weekend Astrology

March 16

Mercury is the most active planet this weekend. Continuing to shuffle backwards from being in the heart of the Sun, to squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius on the 15th

Mercury Sextiles Pluto 

This is a kind of a spiritual mental soul review. You could think of it as a Life flashing before your eyes review.

Moon is in Cancer its home sign

It’s sentimental, family oriented, stay home, cuddle up, call or visit your mom,.

Moon is also busy opposing Saturn sextile Mars in Taurus opposing Pluto all very earthy, Power struggles and stubbornness abound.

Moon trines Mercury Retrograde in Pisces in the wee hours.

You may be feeling very dreamy, old memories may have appeared through your dreams. You can stitch missing pieces of a puzzle together now. 

Moon inconjuncts Jupiter in Sagittarius

It may be awkward and difficult to tell a family member the truth. Blood is…

Awesomely Saucy Cheese Enchiladas

Amelia @ CPM's avatarCook Plant Meditate

This is more of a technique than a recipe. It makes your enchiladas perfectly saucy. My family at every last one of these enchiladas at dinner.

Awesomely Saucy Cheese Enchiladas

Warm enchilada sauce on the stove top over very low heat. If the sauce is too hot, your tortillas will fall apart. Put corn tortillas into the sauce, flip. Coat each tortilla well.

Remove quickly. The tortillas just need to be warm for rolling. **If your corn tortillas aren’t warm, they will break apart when you roll your enchiladas.**

Roll enchiladas on a plate or board and add desired ingredients. Here, I used Tillamook Cheddar and Tillamook Monterey Jack (did you know that a lot of Tillamook cheeses are vegetarian? They don’t use animal rennet in the production process).

Place in a greased baking dish. Top with more sauce if desired (I like them saucy!), and some more cheese.

Bake…

Perfect Bread on the Grill

Amelia @ CPM's avatarCook Plant Meditate

This is probably something that grill masters all over the world already know. I didn’t know until Fall of my 38th year. I was in Washington visiting, and my brother invited me over for dinner. The man is a Grill Master. He made perfect baked potatoes (just the way he was taught when he worked at Sizzler for 3 days), perfectly cooked steak, and hot bread. There may have been salad, it wasn’t as important as the things on the grill.

It was the bread that had me going “well THAT is brilliant”.

Perfect bread on the grill:

  1. Cut and butter bread.
  2. Wrap in foil.
  3. Stick the bread on top of the grill while your meat cooks.
  4. Flip it every now and then.
  5. Enjoy hot, buttery bread, warmed to perfection, not charred.

Simple, but a game changer for me.

Enjoy!

Card of the Day – 8 of Pentacles – Saturday, March 16, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Taking care of business, yes, even on a Saturday. There are still plenty of things which require your attention on your To-Do List. The 8 of Pentacles has rather a nose-to-the-grindstone energy, urging you to apply yourself to the tasks at hand. If you work best with music, or an audiobook, then put in your earbuds and listen while you tackle things.

Dependent upon your time zone, you will start with a Cancer Moon, which will turn void-of-course for seven hours, before moving into Leo, where your thoughts and actions may turn to other things. Utilize your time left under the Cancer Moon to give it your all, and, remember during the void, do not attempt to initiate anything. You can still accomplish a great deal today, in spite of, and in cooperation with, the current Mercury retrograde.

See you here tomorrow!

Reiki || Healing Energies for Nebraska and Several Eastern and Southeastern Regions of America

I’m not sure if people realize how bad it is right now for Nebraska. WHOLE towns are under water, weather reporters said evacuations have been ordered for 21 towns and communities or more than 60,000 people. Most of which also got hit by the blizzard with no place to go. These people had to leave behind or couldn’t get to their pets and livestock, which herds of cattle have been seen running on highways trying to survive their fields flooding. Not to mention it’s calving season and calves will be the first to drown as water levels rise or freeze to death. People are either trapped in their houses or can’t access them since two days ago. This will be billions of dollars in damages and losses across Nebraska, please pray for those suffering. #NebraskaStrong

Update: 3/15/2019 towns and communities are still being evacuated as the water now heads more east. They are saying the worst flooding in the east to southeast will be this weekend still yet. A few more dikes and dams are compromised while levees are either overflowing or failing. Omaha roads are now being flooded. I can’t add anymore picture but know new towns are still getting flooded as water from Colorado and the Dakotas poor in.
