November 10

The Lovers – Reach out to others when you are feeling down instead of retreating into yourself.  You’ve been taught to keep negative emotions to yourself, but it is a far healthier and better choice to surround yourself with loved ones who can provide you with a beacon of light to follow out of the darkness when you’re feeling down.   Don’t go with the comfortable choice of staying in the dark… go with the healthy choice instead.

Death – It might not align with your nature of going with the flow until you -need- to speak up, but sometimes it’s important to share your opinions and thoughts on things… even when maybe they’re not welcome or desired.  Say your piece and make sure you’re heard, as you often offer a change in viewpoint others need to see, and support to keep people strong in times of change.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Knight of Swords – You are intelligent and clever, and these qualities are always on your side whenever you face any challenge.  You are a force to be reckoned with, someone that is able to think outside the box and expand your horizons in order to further your goals.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Seven of Cups – There is no need or reason to explain yourself when you make the choices that are best for you. No one is owed an explanation if you are not inclined to offer one, or is it necessary to share your moments of deliberation if you don’t feel like doing so. Don’t allow others to pressure you into sharing when you’d rather not.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Seven of Pentacles – It’s important that you choose what you want to focus on over the long haul.  If you spend all of your time focused upon the negative, then over time, that’s what you grow in your heart, your mind, and your life as a whole.  Take time to see the wonder and beauty in the world, allow yourself to be open to the positive even during the most difficult times, and you will allow the seeds of positivity to germinate in the soil of your personal winter.

King of Wands – Today you will need to make choices that feed into which direction you are  going as you step forward.  Make sure you make choices that align with your goals and what you want for yourself and others, and in doing so you inspire others to do the same for themselves, and back you in your endeavors as well.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Six of Swords – well the way from seeing the things that you need to get done today as a chore, and see the message form of play instead. There’s no reason you can’t have fun while you work. It transforms the tasks you need to get done into something you want to do and enjoy.

 Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Two of Pentacles – Sometimes it’s just not possible to fit as many things on your plate as you’d like. You can only juggle so much, and there’s no shame in letting something go because you need to.  Walking away is  a form of self care.  Pick and choose what you put on your plate.  Be discerning.  Accept that sometimes we can’t do everything we want to do and we have to pick and choose in order to maintain balance in our lives.

November 1

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Swords – The Anthony de Mello quote in today’s meditation app and the Queen of Swords always remind me of the story of the two wolves that live within us all. How one is vicious and evil, the other courageous and good… and it’s the one that we feed that survives. The Queen of Swords can be strong and supportive… or cold and self-centered.

Today’s “higher self” affirmation combined with the Queen of Swords reminds us that who we are is a choice. How we behave is a choice. That it’s important to foster in yourself the good within you so that it can grow and strengthen, rather than feeding the bad wolf and allowing it to grow strong instead.

The High Priestess – Listen to your intuition and don’t allow worries about what others think sway you from your intuition’s guidance.  Your intuition is never wrong.  Others may argue or think you’re nuts, and that’s fine. Just do your own thing anyway. Life goes smoother for you that way.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Knight of Pentacles – It can be extremely difficult to set aside differences, but we do ourselves more harm than good by holding onto them. Live your best life one step at a time, and when the opportunity comes to strike out at those who have hurt you or let things go, turn your back on them and follow your joy instead of letting them cause you to become unbalanced.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Seven of Swords – Don’t allow shitty moments to steal away your confidence or your joy.  Bad things happen to everyone, and if you let those bad things drag your focus to the negative, then they steal away important moments of pleasure and enjoyment that you could be experiencing.  Make sure when bad things happen you look for the boon instead, and stay steadfast in continuing to enjoy the good stuff instead of “throwing the baby out with the bath water”.

October 28

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Cloaks (Swords) – In meditation, it can be hard to forget that there is no goal. There is no “empty  mind” or “silent mind” we have to force ourselves into.  There is no “perfect relaxation” to achieve. Meditative practice is a practice in mindfulness, which as today’s quote says, is about accepting the present experience, just as it is.  Nothing more and nothing less. There is no “good at meditating” or “not good at meditating”.  Don’t make it complicated.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Star – Give yourself the benefit of the doubt.  You are far more capable than you think you are, and when you look at the world from a place of optimism, you give yourself a greater chance to truly shine and show just how much you’re capable of. Don’t smother  you radiance because you fear failure.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Emperor – Remember that while the veil is at its thinnest you need to stay stalwart and strong. Over the past few years as you have begun to explore the mediumship ability you had previously suppressed, your connection and receptivity has increased exponentially.  The rest of the year, you can be open to the influences of those spirits around you, but during this time they are far too strong and being open to them puts you at risk for negative influences.  Stay strong instead.  Listen, but do not yield.
