April Guidance

Free Monthly Guidance from The Energy Garden

Horoscopes offer some hint as to what is to come based on our birth date. Numerology takes this concept a step forward and offers valid insight on life challenges based on our birth number (Life Path Number). It is when we resolve those challenges that we get closer to our true potential. I offer you a bit of this insight here. First, in general terms, for the month and then in specific terms based on your birth number. A “Numeroscope” if you will.

April is just about upon us. Words like renewal and organization come to mind as Spring draws near.  April also brings with it the numerology of 4 which encompasses a teacher energy. Animal mommas have much to teach their young. We could learn a little about ourselves and our abilities too. Heck, while you’re spring cleaning you just might learn you have too much stuff.  (The reason you feel so good after a spring cleaning project is because all that stuff had been stealing your energy.) Just a heads up, not all lessons are fuzzy little ducklings. Some lessons change the status quo with drama!

April also carries an argumentative energy so set your intentions and try not to argue. When you come to an aggravating situation ask what lesson is in it for you so you can learn from it and move on. If this month brings you questions about your career, volunteer work or leisure pursuits this Numeroscope will guide you. To calculate your birth number or Life Path Number, add all the digits of your birthdate until you get a single digit. For example August 4, 1969 is calculated: 8+4+1+9+6+9 = 37,  3+7 = 10, 1+0=1. This Life Path Number is a 1. (For those working the 29/11 or 48/12 path I recommend reading each of those numbers and pick the one that resonates with you.)

Here is your guidance for the month of April based on your Life Path Number:

1              If you are struggling with someone right now, open your mind to look at the situation from the other person’s point of view. Accept that what you want to do is not more important or less important than what others are doing. Thus, a compromise is in order.

2              Open your heart and share your gifts and time with others. Using your good fortune to help those struggling will raise your vibration making you feel better and less alone. Take a friend to lunch, volunteer or help out a neighbor or relative.

3              Trust your feeling to step away from the drama of a situation. Also, trust that the urgency to make a decision is just imagined. You will be guided to make the best choices after analyzing all the information. Ask for guidance three nights in a row.

4              Difficulty juggling all that you do? Follow your heart and only attend to what it really wants. Allow the other stuff fall way. What falls away isn’t important in the long run despite momentary drama surrounding it. You cannot be all things to all people and you are setting yourself up for failure.

5              No short cuts for you. 5’s Life Path is Freedom and Discipline. You need to develop an organized and practical approach to achieve your goals and you are reminded of that this month. Seek out mentors, study, learn and set your goals high. Your message: Mastery in any area only comes from demanding nothing less than the best from yourself.

6               Reconnect with your source. Take time to see the beauty, strength and connectedness in nature so you can see these qualities in the Devine. Contemplate this connection, find comfort and inspiration in it.

7                 Take off the blinders and be willing to see the truth about yourself and others. Are there real problems in your relationships? Ask for guidance. Does the situation needs compromise? To be let go of? Or do serious decisions need to be made to prevent harm?

8                 Being honest takes courage and integrity. Understand that deception is fear in disguise. Most people lie to protect themselves. Regardless, it can still cause damage.  Trust your vibes when it comes to suspicions. Ask that you be protected from deceit of others and your own temptation to deceive.

9              You are entering a period of great abundance. It is a natural outcome of your efforts and commitment to your dreams. What you desire is on its way!

I will bring you this guidance the 4th Monday of each month for the following month. The next free monthly reading for May will appear Monday, April 28.

What Are Your Lucky Charms?

Are you a psychic?

Are you a little psychic?

Okay, let’s just stop right there. This is not the California Psychic Network and I would like to curb the visions of Psychics Mediums, Fortune Tellers, and Prophets dancing through your head.  So, let’s just go ahead and change the word psychic to Intuitive*.

Are you intuitive?

You have used that word before, right? As in intuition or a mother’s intuition. It can be something as simple as a gut feeling, hair sticking up on the back of our neck, or vivid dreams.

But what is it exactly?

I have friends with this ability.

I have clients discovering this for the first time.

And I need to understand it better too.

Wikipedia defines intuitive; “the modern usage of which has been formally derived from the work and writings of Immanuel Kant, is the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason.[1] From Latin verb intueri which is usually translated as to look inside or to contemplate.[2] Intuition is thus often conceived as a kind of inner perception, sometimes regarded as real lucidity or understanding. Cases of intuition are of a great diversity, however processes by which they happen typically remain mostly unknown to the thinker, as opposed to our view of rational thinking.”

I l like to define it as an inner wisdom not mediated by the rational mind.

Steve Jobs stated; “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

Do you have the courage to follow your intuition? People have become famous using their intuition. Steve Jobs obviously was a fan of it and history cites Nostradamus. Other famous modern Intuitives like Sonia Choquette, Doreen Virtue, Esther and Jerry Hicks, John Edward Or James Van Praagh add to others lives while making a wonderful living.

Not everyone with intuitive abilities becomes famous though. So what about the rest of us? We can use it to know ourselves better. To increase joy, decrease stress and add ease to our lives.  I discovered my abilities and those of my clients through Numerology*. I know it makes lives' better.

Intuition could be your four-leaf clover, your pot of gold….your lucky charms. If you are ready to admit it, try it on for size or just want more information before you come out of the closet, I will be bringing you interviews from down-to- earth people from all walks of life. Interviews to Awaken the Mind (I.A.M.) will run the 3rd Monday of every month. If you would like to pose a question to one of my esteemed interviewees, please post it to the comment section below or send it to me at theenergygarden@outlook.com

I would love your input, mahalo and Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Dan Millman Goes Hurling Across My Bedroom

Do you recognize your life path? Do you know your truth? Or are you like Goldilocks…
…..your waistline too big?
…..your love life too cold?
…..your job too hard?
Or perhaps you’re one of the three bears and someone has been eating your porridge, sitting in your chair and sleeping in your bed.

You are not alone.

In 2011 I was suffering from stress related health issues. I was directed to Phuong Nguyen, a Kinesiologist in Durango, CO. We had a wonderful session in which I balled my eyes out and got some well needed focus. She referred me to Dan Millman’s book The Life You Were Born To Live.  I headed directly to the book store from the appointment. It spoke to me at the start; “A guide to finding your life purpose”. Yes, I need a guide, desperately. I love a good self-help book and for only twenty five dollars I could easily afford it.

I rushed home and eagerly read the first 8 pages, skipping to page 123 once I determined my “birth number”. Filled with enthusiasm I began to read, “here to work through issues of creativity while learning to trust the wise and beautiful spirit in themselves and others.”  Yes! I am creative. Yes! I do need to learn to trust. Yes! I want to be a wise and beautiful spirit. Wow, this Millman guy really knows what he is talking about. I continue reading, “…most seek knowledge outside of themselves rather than trust their intuitive depths.” I am a seeker of knowledge, but intuitive? No. I read on “..deep down, are wise and healing spirits; they can express themselves like angels in human form once they align themselves with the higher energy and will that manifest within them.”
What a bunch of crap!
Me, intuitive? No!
Me, a healer? Most definitely not!

I hurl the book (the force was great, I’m a softball player not an angel) across my bedroom. I would have returned it to the book store except I damaged the cover when it hit the door.

This information broke my heart. I wanted to trust that book. I needed so badly to find my life’s purpose. Not knowing was making me sick. The book was going to bring great epiphanies for me. Trumpets were going to sound. Passion was going to flow. An ease in knowing who I am was going to wash over me.

And mostly....mostly…everything was going to be just right.

The book sat quietly collecting dust and cat hair. I couldn’t let $25 go to waste so I investigated friends and families birth numbers. The readings clicked with everything I knew about them.

In the ancient Scottish tale the three bears devour the trespasser. Over time, small variations are made to the story and it becomes a popular children’s story. Largely in part to the change in the ending where Goldilocks jumps out the window and her outcome is left to our imagination.

Your outcome, my outcome, is left solely to our imagination. Armed with that knowledge and a little self-examination we can become so much more. Those words from Dan Millman still seem miles away. Yet, I know they are true. They are my truth.
