TAROT JOURNAL

A week ago I decided to  revive a Spiritual Practice of pulling one  card from my Gaian Tarot daily then journaling about what the card/message is telling me about, for that day.It's an amazing oracle/guide!

Every day, the message I receive is so on target.  I like to start my day this way. With coffee, out on the patio (I am in the Southwest) -- I have a colorful notebook I picked up at Ross a long time ago.. and I write. Sometimes a few sentences, sometimes a few pages!

First,I write what I believe the card is saying to me ..then I open my guidebook and read the "meaning" in the book..which always adds even more.

You can use any deck for this but I am in Love with Gaian Tarot.

Daily meditation and prayer round out  a practice which can center you, calm you, and inspire you.I meditate for 20-30 minutes daily but you can start with 10 . You could also just sit quietly and do some deep in and out breathing for your meditation--Maybe 10 breath cycles.

I say a morning prayer every day too--sometimes it is one I made up, sometimes a prayer from the faith of my youth which I have memorized. I  love the prayer of St. Francis, also.

Spiritual Practice and the Tarot put me in touch with "Source" each morning.

As I fall asleep I try to also just "BLESS the day, and everyone who was in it." Amen!

If your practices have fallen by the way side, try giving just a few moments in the morning to this connection and see how it changes your day!

I'd love to hear about it!

Peaceful Blessings!

WORK PREDICTIONS and PLANS

Moon in Capricorn on Friday and Saturday means that happy hour may turn into "power hour." You may find yourself chatting about ideas for work improvements and changes. You can network with powerful types this 2 days, and make gains on practical goals.

Of course, if you're an earth sign, this will be fun for you. If you're water, you need a massage to ground you this weekend.If you are a fire sign, get some vigorous exercise, and if you are air, write down all your new bright ideas ..and don't share ALL of them outloud yet!

Next weekI will spend more time with TAROT messages..

Till then, bask in the light of the Moon by going outside and sitting still ,gazing and allowing the energies of Her Light to enter your Spirit, for refreshment and nurturance.

Peaceful Blessings,
Madeline

AROMATHERAPY HEALING AND MASSAGE .

Sometimes you just don't want to talk! A relaxing hour of healing, massage  and aromatherapy will go a long way to restoring your balance.

I am designing  a few new relaxing AROMATHERAPY Healing and Massage Sessions for my clients.As a  Certified Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner, with Sacred Lomi and Aromatherapy Massage certificates, I'll be helping busy women relax and rejuvenate. And that leads to healing of mind, body and spirit.

 With 28 years of experience offering holistic health  care,  THIS  is my favorite method of providing healing work for  women.

During my  aromatherapy sessions I do receive "impressions" about you and your concerns, and if you agree,I will share them with you.During your treatment, relax with the aromatherapies and massage, and  let your mind drift on the  relaxing music. I provide a safe and nurturing environment for you to  unwind.

Stay tuned. If you live in Arizona, I'll be offering these sessions within a month.I'll provide links to my webpage.

Women,especially, need to focus on self-care and nurturing .When your physical body is relaxed,and you are nourished with essentials oils , music, and spiritual healing, you'll enjoy a happier,healthier Mind, Body and Spirit!

When Mama's happy and relaxed ,everyone's happy! 

Future Path becomes More Clear

Today's Moon sails through the thoughtful sign of Sagitarrius.You may feel like pondering the meaning of Life, or you might be ready to sign up for a class, a course, a seminar of some sort. It's a good day to plan a trip, and to deal with activities that involve other countries or faraway places.

If you have larger planetary aspects like a Pluto or Saturn cycle in progress, today may give you some insight into the spiritual meaning of the events around you this year.

Like  most astrologers, I'm really good at advising others, but  I think I will just "sail through" the challenging aspects in my OWN chart.  NOT SO! Today I am meditating and studying the lessons I am meant to learn by the changes and challenges of the past year.

It can be en-LIGHTENING to "get the lesson.." and to embrace the new cycles as they appear.

Today,expect some BRIGHT IDEAS to pull it all together.

And keep the LOVING message of February alive by continuing to hug more, relax with loved ones more, and also be  EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD TO YOURSELF on a daily basis!

BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS!

MIRACLES

Here is a quote I read on Marianne Williamson's blog:  (check out my link to her site on the right hand column.) 

"Enlightenment is not a learning, but an unlearning. We have to unlearn the thinking of the world (ego), in order to learn the ways of love (Spirit)."

 In 2012 and beyond, planetary  alignments point towards more changes in the way we live, love, learn and grow. The entire planet is undergoing a "shift" and it's ALWAYS a great idea to rely more on your Spiritual Nature than your ego, in solving problems or navigating a new life path.  Find your connection with the Source (God, Goddess, Jesus, Buddha, or, as Wayne Dyer says, you can call it Louise if you like..)

I enjoy Marianne's books,blog and lectures.  She promotes Peace . My husband and I are going back over the Course in Miracles information.  And her information/books,etc.  are a great gateway into all things miraculous.

It's a nice reminder that you don't necessarily have to DO MORE, or LEARN MORE or figure it all out on your own!

RELEASING wrong thought, and UN-learning some of what's cluttering up your mind and spirit..well, that's done through prayer,contemplation and meditation.

Gather together with like minded friends and share Spirit.  Meditate together. Read books, discuss good works you can do, and make sure you spend some time all by yourself,  every day ,in the quiet, "unlearning" mode.

A Peaceful life begins in the  Heart,.

Isn't  February "Heart" month??

Blessings to all-- 

Sedona Secret Canyon

My husband and I hike in Sedona regularly.We found a spot in the wilderness called Secret Canyon. It's a steep climb straight up into a red rock alcove where we can sit and meditate.

I always bring a deck of my Tarot Cards (I have at least 20 decks) and energize them in the red rocks.

This is a deck I carried to the Secret Wilderness in October,2011.

Ken and I are proponents of "barefoot running."  If the terrain is mostly agreeable, we walk,hike and run without foot gear.  An amazing experience and GOOD for your feet (as well as your Spirit!)

This picture was  the same October, 2011 trip.

Here in the Valley it's usually too rocky but up in Sedona the red dirt is soft and even the stony areas are smooth and so cool to the foot..

Try it!



I brought my Gaian Deck up there in December. but didn't take pics.

Blessings and Happy Friday!

MAKE NICE

A Libra Moon today makes it easier to enjoy a calm, relaxed approach.You can use this energy to make your environment prettier or more soothing. A great evening for a warm herbal bath and some candles. Yes,Libra rules MUSIC too.

The Moon moves swiftly , and we can use Her energies on purpose by paying attention to her sign.

The larger planets create the longer term, overall flavor to our months and our years, but the Moon is fickle and changes sign every couple of days.

Using the power of manifestation, the power of positive thinking, and the signs of the Moon, you can create better days for yourself by focusing on the more pleasant aspects of the Moon Sign of the moment.

Sure,Pluto may still be wreaking havoc with your mortgage, your career path, or your love life,  and Venus may be starting some fires in the sign of Aries, but a daily dose of  THE MOON, is, I believe, good for all of us.  And a magical escape.

If you can ENERGIZE a moment or a day..well, why not!!

BLESSINGS and may some Libra  Moon Magic be all yours..
