Energy of the Moon, Evidence and an Exercise

Have you been offered an opportunity that is both scary and exciting at the same time?

I have had evidence that suggests you were. First, the Full Moon in Scorpio; full moons are about manifesting. Second, 2017 is a one Universal Year; there will be new things and new beginnings. Coupled with a shift in to LEO- Leo is leadership and radiance! Which tells me  it is an opportunity that  is going to be epic.( I follow Kari Samuels and Kelley Rosano for astrology interpretations.)

The energy will also cause a push- pull of “stay safe” and “Let’s do something epic”, making us a bit crazy, maybe it makes you grumpy if you feel you cannot follow it.

Change is growth. Growth can be uncomfortable- so what? Can you imagine a rose bud refusing to bloom because it was afraid? Are you glad roses can’t think?

Okay, if you want to ‘think’ about it then I will refer to the book “Quantum Leap” where Cynthia Sue Larson gets all sciency and discusses quantum physics and has evidence that “fake it  ‘til you make it” works. She has many exercises you can try and I am sharing one that I have created.

We are going to practice the 'fake til you make it' with todays excersie to prepare you for this epic adventure, if you chose it. I’ve made this suggestion before and it bears repeating-

The exercise I have for you, or as I like to call one of my meditation practices, “Try That On For Size”.If someone, now mind you this someone can be yourself, if someone, has offered you a new exciting opportunity or you have gotten a vision of something you could create,

 take a few minutes right now.

Starting with several bottom of the belly breaths,

 as you gaze at the ocean or into your hearts center, ‘try it on for size’.

Pretend you are either doing this fab new thing or it has been completed.

What does it look like?

How does it feel?

What are you experiencing?

Try this exercise any time you want to 'experience' a choice you can make.  

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you go about continue to manifest.

#1 You do not need to sacrifice yourself to serve others!

#2 If you have trouble visualizing all your strengths or believing in yourself. Or if you have a 1 or a 3 in your numerology I am calling you out right now!  Get my book “Say YES” so you can learn all of your attributes. Knowing your potential will help you find your passions so you can live your purpose!

#3 Still having trouble seeing your full potential yet you are unsatisfied with your current situation? Please, please, please get some assistance: a numerology reading or a life coaching session

 Hope you are enJOYing this epic thing we call life, it is what we are here to do. Be brave!

 Love and Light,

Tricia

Can a day be both your worst day and your best day?

I’ll tell you this story so you can decide for yourself.

As all the stories I tell have lessons, this lesson has not fully hit me as I am in the midst of it. Still crying about it and not sure how to process all of it. STILL worried about how to handle it after all of this time. Mostly, the message is an extension of the message from last week: Speaking your truth, being true to yourself, etc. This is a difficult thing to do. I know. Living my truth is what this story is about, well that, and so much more.

The worst day of my life was May 3, 1986.

I was a high school junior, finishing the school year early in order to not have final exams interrupted by my pending situation.

Without knowing it, on this day, I pledge to be angry at myself for the next 30 years. Using it as fodder for self-loathing whenever I needed it. It is hard for me, now- (today especially) to call what occurred a mistake. Actually, it feels really, really wrong to think of it that way but, for the majority of 10,950 days…all of my adult life…I have taken every opportunity to beat myself up about it.

Here are some examples of my self-loathing rituals:

I am still paying for college because I didn’t enroll right after high school because my life drama made school hard for me and I wasn’t college material at age 18.

The right men were not attracted to me because of what I put my body through at too young of an age.

I am an embarrassment to my family because of what I did.

People in my life do not respect me because of how I handled the situation. 

Because.

Because.

Because.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

I feed myself this bullshit for 30 years.

Then comes why May 3 is now the best day. Oh, wait, I didn’t even tell you exactly why May 3 was my worst day and I want to skip to the best day part.  I’ll get to that. May 3 is now my best day…..

……because I honored my heart even though people tried to stop me.

…..because even though I didn’t love myself that much, I sent my love outside of myself AND it boomeranged.

…..because at age 16, I understood unconditional love even though I had not fully experienced it myself.

Where was I on May 3, 1986? What was I doing? What did I do to make it the worst day, you are wondering?

I was standing just outside a large glass window, looking at the most beautiful baby boy I had ever seen, saying my good byes.

Upset doesn’t begin to describe what I was going through. It wasn’t the decision to put my son up for a adoption that was as upsetting to me as the fact of what I had done, getting pregnant that is. All the pain I was causing to all involved, and the incredible amount of shame. Then to see him, all cute, pudgy and innocent, what about him?

Here is where it gets good.

Him.

He is good.

He is very good.

He has a loving family and is enjoying his life.

How do I know this?

He found me a few months ago and we have been talking ever since.

So TODAY, on his birthday, May 3 2017, I for the first time, I'm able to tell him directly, “Happy Birthday, I am glad you were born.”

I can’t be sorry, he is just too beautiful of a soul.

I can’t call what I did a mistake. He is a caring, intelligent man- that is no mistake.

I went against what most were telling me to do back then. I had two strong supporters but most were reluctant, some resentful, and others straight-up rude and disrespectful towards me and my decisions. I listened to my heart, I am so glad I did. Not succumbing to the pressure from others on how to make a decision for myself and my son was difficult but so worth it.

 I sent him love every day, never knowing how, when, or if it would be returned.

Now I can start doing that for myself.

May 3, of every year will remind me of this and is now my best day, my most favorite day of the year.

I hope I have inspired you to love yourself a bit more, be yourself a bit more, or even start respecting other peoples’ choices better. 

I have learned something else, what I know to be TRUTH:

No human on this earth is a mistake. Every human being on this earth is entitled to unconditional love.

Love and Light,

May Free Guidance

May is the 5th month and no surprise I have already have been getting “change” as a message. The 5 is about adventure, one of the purest most wonderful change there is but, man it requires some heavy duty trust and letting go.

If you are still wheeling from the energies of April, (This past Sunday, I spend almost an entire day sleeping but didn’t really feel sick or extremely tired.) know that is it going to let up. How is that possible- change will happen and things will lighten up? Yep, there are few lingering things that need some shifting and it will actually lighten things up, only if you let them. It is in the holding on which creates chaos and the heaviness. You know, what we resist persists.

The life path guidance this month is the same for everyone. (Ha! How’s that for change?)

Inside each of us is the capacity to grow and change. We often do not allow such movement (a five energy) because of fear of the unknown, the fear of failure or plan ‘ol attachment to how things are. Life is static and movement is so much a part of who we are, it seems silly to resist change. I am not preaching here- I am talking to myself too. I get daily messages to s t r e t c h myself all the while knowing a little part of me is afraid. Mostly afraid I will screw up. Now that I am aware of the voice in my head that tells me lies, I can no longer allow it. Being able to ignore it (sometimes, not always) has created a big shift, a life in Hawaii, a book, and a business I love.

Use the energy of 5 to spark your sparkle. Step in to your weird. Travel to a place you have never been. Move in a way you have not experienced. Do something you have only planned in your mind.

The energy of 5 in a few words:

Change

Discipline

Education

Expansion

Freedom

Movement

Regeneration

Travel

Which one of these words inspire you?

I’d love to hear about it. Post below, if you dare.

Meditation.....Raccoons and Truth

Numerology of the words:
Raccoons (33/6)  and the Truth (24/6)

6= unconditional love. It is nice to see that truth and love are energetically related by the numbers. An important part of my journey has been to find the truth about myself through numerology. I began to love myself more as more of my truth was revealed to me.

Back story: Truth is part of the energy of number 7.  
I have been working on this truth thing
for a    l   o  n  g   time because I’m a 37/10 Life Path.

What do these seemingly unrelated things have in common?

Or should I say, what can raccoons teach us about truth?

Currently working on a blog post about lies I tell myself, I assumed there was something beyond the obvious “the masks we wear” so, I did a bit of digging.

According to SpiritAnimal.com, raccoons could represent an aspect of your personality and make you aware of unsavory behavior. (Lying to myself does feel unsavory once revealed.) Your self-awareness is letting you know that you are being dishonest with yourself.  

This fit perfectly for me but, I kept digging, it just seemed too obvious.

From Spiritsymbols.com, I found out raccoon is symbolic of the generous protector. “This creature is the little bandit of the animal kingdom, always looking out for family and tribe, helping the less-fortunate even if that means stealing from the rich, to feed the poor. When raccoons go on a raiding party they always give the best finds to the lookout.”

This sounds so nice to me, being so generous to those around you. Well, not stealing from the rich but, giving the best you find. Like when I make a perfectly toasty, melty sandwich and give it to my husband. I want to eat it myself but it’s nice for him to have a perfect sandwich too! I struggle with how much of my work I give away. It feels good to share and then I get entrepreneurs saying, “You need to value yourself. If you don’t value yourself by charging, no one will value your work or you! Charge what you are worth.”

Oi, can’t I just be a raccoon and give the best bits to my lookout?  

 And my most favorite morsel I found on the symbolism of raccoons from earthmagic.net:

“We have everything we need.”

 I have been using this mantra for some time now, trying to get this Law of Attraction business down AND I do prefer to stay positive. I also believe, with all my heart, that I would not be getting all these ideas if they weren’t meant for me to share. My soul tells me; creative ideas and the resources to bring those creative ideas to others come from the same place. It just seems logical to me.

Or …..am I lying to myself and use it as an excuse not to charge people for my work?

Now we are getting somewhere. I find many truths as I meditate. Often playing the game, “Try that on for size”. I pick a scenario, run it through my head and see how it feels.
Today I will meditate on the following:                            

·         give all my work away, not charge for anything.

·         charge more for what I do and charge for everything.

My suggestion for your meditation practice using the raccoon for a guide; try the visualization game I just mentioned and ask yourself these questions:

    Do I live in truth?

            More important…

                       Do I live my truth?

                               Increasingly important….

                                         What is the truth about me NOW?   

The now part is important too as your truth can change. Also, the truth is, only you can discern the truth about yourself for yourself. You can go looking for clues, support and guidance….all self-actualization tools are good(especially my book!)….but, ultimately only YOU know what is true for you. This is the reason meditation is so important. It allows you to watch your thoughts without judging them. (Watch Dr. Myss TedTalk on “Choices” for more on truth and its effect on your health.)

Here are some examples. Do you think these people are living their truth?

·         A person volunteering to lecture about how to take care of the environment and makes  a living selling stock of companies who pollute the environment.  

·         A mother who does yoga and meditates every day and yells at her children and belittles  them.

·         A lightworker who preaches veganism at every turn because of its violence to animals     but attends resistance marches.   

·         A yoga studio owner who refuses to give a class credit on an expired coupon because, “Yoga is a lifestyle, not something to try out.”

·         Having a few beers on a Sunday while watching football and attending meditation on Wednesday.

Do you think these people are living their truth?

Sorry that was a trick question. It might be easy to judge these examples but it is not our business to do so. I merely point them out so you allow yourself what YOU need. Do you need to give up beer to meditate? Do you need to commit to  yoga every day  to even consider it? Can you insert a few vegan meals a week and not say anything to anyone about it? Can you use yoga and meditation to calm yourself cuz your kids drive you batty and you lose it once in a while?

This is your path. This is your journey. How do you feel about yourself and your choices?

Someone close to me joked that they would like to see me talk about meditation with a beer in my hand. Part of me likes that idea. Some people make this spirituality and self-actualization journey so pious it gets a bit annoying. Can we be real, make money, use a few cuss words and live a spiritual life?

Shit, beer and meditation are equally delicious to me! But like lemon and chocolate, I don’t mix them because then I wouldn’t enjoy either of them.  

If you have been seeing that masked bandit, there is a bit more about him below.

May truth set you free, may you love yourself enough to allow it.   

Love and Light,

Tricia

 If you happen to see a repeat of the raccoon or your are obsessed with them (scared to death of them perhaps?) : You have an insatiable curiosity which can occasionally blind you to the dangers of exploring what you are interested in and you thrive on new experiences and new activities. You are an excellent problem solver and have a great deal of ingenuity in solving puzzles and mysteries. You are calm and serene under pressure and often calculating in your response to chaos
