Daily Motivator for January 9th – Limitless value

Posted on January 9, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Limitless value

Your life has limitless value. You are a bundle of the best possibilities you  can ever imagine, and you are fully capable of bringing those possibilities into  reality.

Think for a moment about what that means. Then go beyond thinking, and feel  all of what it means to be you.

Realize that you are life itself, experiencing itself, and improving on  itself. You are able to not merely think about love and joy, but to actually be  love and joy.

Your life has limitless value, and with your actions you can translate that  value into any good thing you imagine. Your life has limitless value, and you  have the opportunity to share that value far and wide, with countless other  people.

Visualize a life that’s full of joy and love, meaningful achievement and  real, honest satisfaction. That life is yours to live the moment you choose to  embrace its value.

Connect with what means the most to you, and go for it with everything you  have. Your life has limitless value, so focus that value in ways that will lift  your whole world.

— Ralph Marston

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – January 7

Posted on January 7, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – January 7

“.when we become hollow bones there is no limit to what the Higher Powers can do in and through us in spiritual things.”

 

–Frank Fools Crow, LAKOTA

If we want to be of maximum use to the Creator, we must ready ourselves to do so. If we are to become a channel for His purposes, we must prepare ourselves to do so. If we have resentment, fear, selfishness, or anger, we are not hollow bones. We must be rid of these things. We must change ourselves. We must ask for forgiveness for ourselves and forgive our brothers and sisters. We must keep our insides clean. We cannot use our power in a good way when we have blockages such as hate, judgment and envy. When we are free of these things the Higher Powers can use us beyond our wildest imagination. Then we can really help ourselves and help our people. Only when we are hollow bones can we have an effect on the world.

Oh Great Spirit, remove from me the things that block my usefulness to You. Remove from my day all thinking that is out of harmony with Your ways.

Grant me Your peace and allow me to function as a hollow bone.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for December 10th is 54: Careful Affection

Posted on December 10, 2012 by ladyoftheabyss

54: Careful Affection

Monday, Dec 10th, 2012

hexagram09

 

 

Affection is the basis of all lasting relationships, but must be channeled properly in order to bring satisfaction, and support the self-esteem of both parties. For example, a married person’s lover would necessarily have conflicted feelings: affection coupled with insecurity. Relationships based mainly on personal attraction, especially those that are outside the mainstream, require special caution and tactful reserve.

If you assert yourself too much, or try to make yourself indispensable, you will only incur misfortune. It is never easier to make disastrous mistakes than when you venture outside the bounds of propriety. If you are in doubt as to whether you should follow your heart or your head, allow for some time to pass, and perhaps the answer will become clear. Initiating any action could bring misfortune. Do not attempt to be too creative or attract favorable attention at this time.

Answering Machine Love Magick (Snow Moon)

Posted on December 6, 2012 by ladyoftheabyss

Answering Machine Love Magick

(Snow Moon)

 

Express your love with this spell tonight.

You will need a phone with voice mail or a phone answering machine.

Tonight call the one you love. Just before you dial the phone number say three times:

“May this message of love touch the heart of my beloved.”

Now, leave a special message of love on the phone machine. Tell him or her your loving thoughts and express your feelings. Also leave romantic instructions as to exactly what you want your lover to do for you tonight, and what you are going to do for him or her. If you have called your own home, make sure your mate isn’t home. Then go home, and watch your lover’s face as he or she listens to your message. Again express your feelings to your lover, faced to face, and enjoy a romantic, loving evening together. If you prefer, you can do this spell with e-mail instead of an answering machine.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for November 24th is Love

Posted on November 24, 2012 by ladyoftheabyss

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

 

Love

Love indicates that love is either present in our life or a distinct possibility. Be open to all possibilities, remembering that true love is given freely, without condition, and does not have to be earned. This is the kind of love we want to welcome into our life and to give to others. Be open to new ideas, and beware of judging against someone in an unloving manner. When Love appears, return to the place where you can love yourself and then seek out the same love from others.

As a daily card, Love suggests that for those who are currently in a relationship the opportunity to deepen the bond is present. For those who are single, Love implies that the prospect for them to begin a romantic relationship is very strong at this time.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for November 19th is 44: Liaison

Posted on November 19, 2012 by ladyoftheabyss

44: Liaison

Monday, Nov 19th, 2012

The attraction is strong, but the relationship is not destined to last. So, be careful — the magnetism of polarized forces may not be what it seems. An apparently harmless, but potentially dangerous, energy has attracted attention to itself and is pulling on a stronger one. The ancient image is of a bold but immature girl who uses her charms to gain influence with a stable, powerful man. The man dallies with her, thinking that it can do him no harm. Ha, famous last thoughts! When power shifts into the hands of those unprepared for it, harm comes to all parties.

Still, you need not fear meetings with those whose positions are widely different from your own, as long as you can remain free of ulterior motives.

Be especially wary of temptations that arise because of your connections to important people. Generally, it is best to combat such temptations by snipping them in the bud before they can flower. Just as soon as a dangerous liaison presents itself is the time to take note and speak up. On the other hand, there are times when the meeting of the yielding and the strong turn out to be opportunities for truly positive and constructive relationships. The difference between careless connection and a relationship of depth lies in the motives of the heart. How sincere are you?
