Day 85: All things of true value grow when given

Intention of the day: Spread the love and good karma to everyone!

Morning writing: Be kind and generous and share love with the world. Spread a little sunshine!


Today's lesson made me think of this song from Pippin. In the show, the song is ironic because the character who sings it is actually very selfish and manipulative, but the actual lyrics of the song ring true. I've been reading a bit about Wiccan traditions, and this is also a theme in the Rule of Three. Every act comes back to you in threefold. I would say this is accurate, I've had a lot of bad luck in love ever since I ended things with my crazy ex-fiance. It's time to really spread the love and trust that karma will bring me some happiness too. I've been visiting an occult bookstore near my office and buying gemstones. My latest acquisition is a rose quartz necklace. I hope this will help remind me to spread the love and sunshine every day. :)

Tarot Reading:

What can I change about my life: XIV Temperance (balance, moderation, patience, purpose, meaning)

What can't I change about my life: XII The Hanged Man Reversed (martyrdom, indecision, delay)

What am I not aware of: III The Empress Reversed (creative block, dependence on others)

Another critical hit from the Pokedeck! My spirit guides know that I want to have a partner. But they know I'm not ready and like to remind me in different ways. What I can work on is my resilience, my emotional balance, how I handle things... my flexibility. I can work on eating snacks more moderately. I can focus on my inner purpose and what makes me the best me. These are things I can change. What I can't change is the fact that things don't always happen overnight. This is not an easy process and there are going to be pitfalls and delays. There will be moments when I feel weak and in doubt of this path, wanting to give in. But this will only result in more unhappiness. I must continue to work on my patience. What I'm not fully aware of is my dependence on others to make me happy. I simply cannot rely on this anymore. I don't need someone ELSE to tell me that I'm beautiful. I don't need to get approval from a man to feel happy. This is what I must strive for as I move forward.

Day 62: I release the world from my control

Intention of the day: Meditate on releasing my need to be in control. Trust that things will all be taken care of by the Universe. Morning writing: I had a nice long meditation in my morning routine today. It's Friday and my boss is out for a vacay so if I'm a little late it's not a big deal. Besides, things will all be taken care of by the Universe! I have had control issues for a while. Insecurity makes you want to try to control everything that you can, as a defense mechanism. You think that if you control how people act or where they go, then they will act and do whatever you want and you will not get hurt. This is unhealthy and simply not possible. I can't control anything except for myself, my actions, and my reactions. My relationship with my ex was toxic because I wanted to control him. I wanted him to be the perfect version of himself that was inside my head. But that person isn't real and the real guy didn't want to be that perfect self, for whatever...

Day 108: I am the One who is experiencing itself as all of creation

Intention of the day: Always remember that I am made of the same divine light as the rest of the Universe. We are all of one, and one is within us all. Morning writing: I made it! The book is complete. This is the final lesson. It's a bit of a reiteration of some previous lessons but still a good one to end on. Remember that I am made of the same energy as other people. As the trees and animals, and inanimate objects too. This planet is made of atoms just like I am. This Universe is composed of atoms. If you zoom out far enough... this Universe looks like an atom. We are all the same oneness, energy and light. It is always moving and changing as it works to stay in balance. That is the yin and yang of this energy, the magnetism of it. There will always be bad with good, that's part of the balance. Without motion there is no life. So now the book is over. I am not sure if this blog will continue as frequently, we'll just see how that goes. I will try to check in, but I m...

Day 10: I invite myself to fully experience everything I feel

Intention of the day: Let my body be my sanctuary where I can regain my strength and feel grounded. Let my emotions be real but not control my entire self and not affect my entire day. Morning writing: This one is difficult for me. I get emotional very easily. I treat this with my self-medication to help me keep my cool. But as evidenced by the existence of this blog, I'm still not entirely "together." I understand what the book is TRYING to say, but I think I already feel all my emotions pretty well. So I delved deeper into the secondary message of today's ritual: my body is my rock. My body is a constant, silent warrior where my crazy head sits on top. If I need to get out of a bad head space or calm my incessant inner monologue, I can use my new meditation techniques to regain my strength and composure. The bigger issue is acknowledging when my thoughts are becoming toxic, and being cognizant of the tools I have to change my tune.
