Heart healing

Today it is time to heal your heart and to nurture your relationships. It is a time to forgive yourself and anyone in your life that disappointed you. Or maybe you need to forgive yourself for getting into a situation where you felt hurt or betrayed. Either way, it's important to make your peace with your past so you can attract more love in your life now. And, as you heal your heart through forgiveness and letting go of the past, you can bring more blessings into your life. For you see, it is your energy that attracts all good things to you. Self-love is the most potent magnifier for positive intentions. If you're not receiving what you desire right now, focus more on your feelings of love and self-worth rather than trying to do more, or being more. As you choose to treat yourself with respect and compassion, you attract people who mirror your self-worth. If you find yourself surrounded by people who mistreat you, it is because you are not listening to your intuition and following your head rather than your heart. Today, set your intentions for this new day and this new week to remain loyal to yourself, your dreams, and your intuition and you cannot go wrong. As long as you are true to yourself, then you will find the happiness, love and fulfillment that you desire.

Just for today, I am willing to forgive everyone for all past perceived wrongs. I release them with love. They are now free and I am now free to move forward with love in my heart. As I forgive myself, it is easier to forgive others. I forgive myself to for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I now love and approve of myself unconditionally. I attract only loving people into my life for the are a mirror of who and what I am. I am safe. I am worthy of all that is good in life and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Endings....

We are under the go, go, go energy of Aries. It is a time to plant new seeds, to begin new projects and to begin to create new relationships. However, you cannot begin anything new if you are still attached to the old or anything that continually drains your energy and leaves you feeling frustrated and just tired. So, before you go, go, go and begin anew, it is important to pause, reflect and allow yourself to let go of anything or anyone who is an energy drain or who you are certain serves no purpose in your life any longer. Today, take some time to recognize how much you really have learned and grown, and how in reality you are ready for to let go. And, how in reality you are ready to begin again, smarter, wiser and much tougher. As you begin to recognize how much you have grown and changed. allow yourself to celebrate how far you have come and give thanks to those people, places and situations that taught you some hard lessons. Remember, new beginnings are often disguised as painful endings. Today, know that new beginnings are always preceded by endings. So, today allow yourself to let go, trust and make room for the new.

Just for today, I am open to the magic and mystery that this new beginning brings. I listen to my feelings and I am gentle with myself. I know that all my feelings are my friends, not just the ones I like. I embrace change and I willingly let go of everything that does not serve any purpose in my life. I begin and end each day in gratitude and joy. I am willing to change and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is

Make YOU and your needs your priority

You have been taking care of everything and everyone for many months now. And you may be even stressed out and worn out by all your caretaking and rescuing. And, sometimes, when you are feeling stressed and running around taking care of everybody else, the healthiest thing you can do is to stop and consider how you can take care of yourself. While this may seem obvious to some people, many of us struggle with the idea of putting ourselves first. We were raised to think we should always put others before ourselves and ignore our own needs—that it is somehow arrogant or self-centered, and not a nice thing to do. Or perhaps you have the need to rescue and to make everybody else's life better, of course at your own expense. Today it is time to put yourself and your own needs first without guilt or regret. You may have been so busy caring for others that you may not even know what your own needs or want are right now. Today, create some time for you to tune inward and begin to explore what you need right now. Listen to your inner voice to find out what makes you content, what makes you feel at peace or perhaps lights you up. Sometimes we can’t even hear our own inner voice because we are so busy anticipating the needs of those we care about, so you might have to listen carefully at first. Today make YOU your priority and realize that as you do so, everyone in your life will benefit. Today, be there for others but do not leave yourself behind.

Just for today, nurturing myself is a joyous experience. I am worth the time I spend healing myself. I am worthy of all that is good in this life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it. I cannot change other people. They must do their own work and they will do it when they are ready. My self esteem is high because I honor who I am. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

This present moment

Life is a wild, adventurous ride, and that is exactly what makes it so beautiful and yet also intense and sometimes intensely painful. Some days are filled with beauty and joy. And others, dreams don’t come true, your car dies, you get rejected, or you’re forced to deal with difficult people. However, no matter what life brings you, you always have the power to decide how you want to react when you’re caught right up in the middle of the not so pretty stuff. You always have the choice. And, this is how you can create the reality in which you want to live in, moment by moment, by living in this present moment. Today, begin to recognize that what you truly want can only come to fruition by working with the present moment. No amount of planning, scheming about the future or worrying about what happen in the past can in reality create anything that you desire. By choosing to live in the past or the future, you are only resisting what is actually happening right now, the only time that is real. By resisting reality, you become disempowered, hopeless, and stuck. As it has been said, what you resist, persists. By resisting, you’re actually creating more of what you don’t want because you’re constantly focused on what you don’t want.

The only way to create what you do want is full acceptance of what is, of where you are right now in this present moment. This is the place where you see possibility instead of limitation. Where you get creative. Where you can see solutions. Where you feel hope and maybe even some peace. So, today consciously choose to accept this present moment. It is the only one you have right now and it is the only one that you are promised. Today, accept this moment. In fact, celebrate it, appreciate it. even if you don’t feel like it. Especially if you don’t feel like it. Small acts of appreciation for the present moment can cause giant shifts in your life. You become empowered, creative, and resourceful. Today, practice staying present, moment by moment. Consciously decide to take your power back and remember that you create your life and your happiness, always and one moment at a time.

Just for today, I release the past and live totally in the present moment. I practice forgiveness daily so I can move out of the past and into this present moment. I recognize that my point of power is always in the present moment. I am a powerful person because I choose to live in the present moment. I recognize that if I focus on what I do not want, that is exactly what I will get more of. I trust the power that created me to protect me, guide me and love me at all times and under all circumstances. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Full Moon in Libra

Tomorrow we have a Full Moon in Libra and it is a powerful one, so you just might be feeling its energies today. Full Moons are always a time of release, and as this is the first Full Moon since the start of the Equinox and astrological new year, you may find yourself naturally purging and clearing the past. This Libra Full Moon wants you let go of your need to please others at your own expense; to let go of being "nice" all of the time; to let go of putting everyone else's happiness before your own. And to stop saying yes to people and projects that only drain your energy. Today, give yourself some time to get clear on where your relationships and any other areas of your life are out of balance and that need adjustments. Now is the time for you to deal with any parts of yourself that you have ignored or pushed aside. Today focus on any emotions left unprocessed, swept under the rug, especially regarding reciprocity in your relationships. A new chapter, a new zodiac wheel has started, and this Full Moon is supporting you to let go of all that you no longer serves any purpose in your life and to create space for new energies to unfold. Today allow the energies of the Libra Full moon to help you bring balance to all your relationships and to elevate your self worth. You deserve it and this Full Moon will show you just that.

Just for today, my life is joyously balanced between giving and receiving. My mind and body are in perfect balance. I am comfortable enough to ask for what I want in positive ways. I believe that I am worthy of all that is good in Life. I am safe and I am willing to let go of everything that no longer serves any purpose in my life. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Kindness

We live in a fast-paced world; we’re always on the go. We’re always worried about something or someone. And because our brains are continually filled with thoughts and worries, we often fail to stop and do something kind for someone else. Or perhaps its because we are witness to constant suffering, abuse, disease, death, war, hunger, bullying, and violence that we just become numb to it all. Perhaps it has become all too much and we choose to ignore it. However, what we must remember, no matter how distressing the events of the world are, that we have the power to make a change. It starts with each one of us and the understanding that because we are human we have been bestowed with the power to change the world through kindness. Today, consciously choose in any given moment to be kind. The beautiful thing about kindness is that it lives in your heart. It’s always there waiting to come out and make an appearance. You always know it’s a true kindness when you don’t expect anything in return, like gratitude or reciprocation; you simply want to make someone feel better. Today, look for ways to be kind and choose to practice kindness and you just might find that the world in which you live becomes a whole lot kinder back to you.

Just for today, Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel tolerance, compassion and love for all people, including myself. Kindness, love and appreciation are the greatest gifts I can give. I give them out them out freely and watch them return to me multiplied. I practice loving kindness for everyone including myself. I am safe. I am loved and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Aries season

We are in the season of Aries, a time for new beginnings. It is a season for finding your inner strength and fanning the flames of your inner fire. It is a time to leap forward, to go for your goals, and to push past any fears that have kept you held back-that have kept you stuck, mired in thoughts of how you can change your present situation but still not making a move. Aries Season encourages you to welcome the new shifts and changes. It encourages you to work in harmony with the creative energies that are on offer and to use them as fuel to push forward on your goals, projects, and dreams. Today, set your intentions to wipe the slate clean and begin again. Do not be afraid or create rationalizations of why you cannot move forward or why it is for the best for you to stay exactly where you are despite being frustrated, angry and dissatisfied. Do not continue to pour all your energies into people, places and things that you clearly know will never be what you wanted them to be. Instead, today set your intentions to move forward. Move forward, knowing that the new wisdom that you have acquired during the past year has equipped you with everything you need to make the necessary changes to move forward. Today courageously move forward and feel confident in your abilities to take a new trip around this zodiac wheel once again. Today, know that you are deserving, that you in reality are so ready to move forward. So, today embrace the qualities of Aries, the fire sign and make the most of wherever this new beginning is guiding you.

Just for today, I recognize that this is a new day, one I have never seen before. I begin anew and claim and create all that is good. I create a wonderful new day and a wonderful new future. I have everything I need to move forward in my journey. I am courageous. I am safe and I am willing to change. And so it is.

Be yourself-everyone else is already taken!

It is human to want to "fit in" and to to be what we think the world wants us to be. And, sometimes when we try so hard to be someone we’re not, we can lose sight of ourselves. We end up doing things to please other people, resulting in living by their expectations. In the end, we become what they want us to be, which can lead anyone down the wrong path to self-destruction. Today, it is time to set your intentions to express what is in your heart and to begin to live authentically as yourself. No matter how vulnerable or sensitive you feel, when you speak your truth or live an authentic life, you will be liberated.⁠ And to find true happiness we must be true to ourselves, live our own dreams, and be proud of what makes us unique instead of feeling the pressure to follow the crowd. Remember, everyone has their own version of ‘normal,’ and none of us are right or wrong. We should not expect ourselves to all be alike, but rather respect our differences and value our skills despite them being different. When we are comfortable in our own skin, we are not fighting against or with anyone. We are courageous enough to live our own truth. Today, consciously let go of who you think you should be and be who you are. Today, set your intentions to be you and to stop trying to change so people will like you, be yourself and the right people will love you.

Just for today, I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself. I love myself exactly as I am right now. I love myself therefore I attract loving people into my life. I release the need for competition or comparison for we are all different and are meant to be that way. I do my best and enjoy being me. I am enough and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Accept what is and learn from it

Everything in Life is transient and everything will end. Good and bad. And, you will always experience some amount of pain and suffering. However, pain is not your enemy. In fact, pain and suffering and peace and happiness are literally one and the same, more of a spectrum than two separate and unrelated things. In truth, without one, you can't have the other. Knowing this, you can learn how to accept your pain and suffering and transform it. So today remind yourself to wait during the bad times. Wait, watch, observe and perhaps most importantly, be willing to learn and to let go. Focus on what you can control and don’t resist and fight what you can’t. Today accept any suffering that you may be experiencing and instead of running from it or trying to push it away as we all have been taught to do, allow it to bring you peace and joy. And remember to cherish the good moments, because they too shall pass. Life is so much richer when you surrender to it rather than fighting it. And it all starts with accepting what is-accepting it all. Accept challenges as opportunities for growth and you’ll realize the true peace, joy, and freedom that exists beyond the concept of “good” and “bad.” “Good” things happen when you stop resisting the “bad” and instead allow it to transform you.

Just for today, I surrender to what is. I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. I am willing to learn something new about myself every day. I am grateful for every experience I have every had for they have shaped me into the person who I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be. I am safe and from all my suffering only good and growth will come. And so it is.

Equinox

Today is the Equinox. It is a day of equal hours of night and day. It is also a day when the Sun moves into the zodiac sign of Aries. As Aries is considered the first sign of the zodiac, the March Equinox is also considered to be the start of the astrological new year and represents the beginning of a new zodiac cycle. Those two events combined makes the March Equinox a powerful day for renewal, new beginnings, fresh energy, and a shift in your perspective. Seeing as the Equinox is also the start of the astrological year, today begin to reflect on and to bring closure to the last 12 months. If you think back to March 2020, so much in our lives has changed. We went from living life one way, to being forced to make some pretty drastic shifts and restrictions. On a collective level, we have dealt with a lot of grief, change, anxieties, fear, and uncertainty. One year later, all of this energy can take its toll on your psyche, so today consciously be gentle with yourself, and perhaps find ways to bring more ease and acceptance to where you are right now. Today, honor yourself for how well you have dealt with the many changes and upheavals to your life, and look for ways that you can bring more ease, peace, and acceptance into your heart. Today, let the beauty of the seasons remind you of the grace in transitions and change. Be grateful and embrace the change and remember you have everything within you to create a beautiful new day, to create a beautiful new life.

Just for today, I awaken appreciating everything in sight and I am grateful for them all. I am grateful for change and everything that I have learned from all my challenges and struggles. I am safe. I am in the process of making positive changes in every area of my live. Out of this situation only good will come and so it is.

Re-write your story

Sometimes we tell a sad story over and over again and that story begins to define who we are. It may seem like a way to understand what happened, or maybe it feels helpful to hear someone say you didn’t do anything wrong and you don’t deserve to hurt. And it’s okay if you need to tell that story for a while, as a way to process your feelings. However, if you do this for years it can keep you stuck living your life around a memory and giving it power to control you. And, in reality, there is no amount of reassurance that will change what happened to you. You can’t find happiness by holding onto a painful story and letting it control your life. You can only find happiness when you let it go and make room for something better. If telling your story empowers you and helps other people, then by all means share it! Only you know where you are mentally and emotionally and whether telling your story is hurting or helping you. Today, take some time to listen to the running narrative or the story that you tell yourself and others. Is it serving you any purpose anymore? Is it keeping you mired in the past. See whether it is really time to let go of that story that keeps you stuck and keeps you feeling and thinking like a victim Then, set your intentions to stop telling yourself and everyone else about the stories about how you've been wronged, about your suffering, your pain and ultimately how you are a helpless victim to your circumstances. Those stories do not define you unless you continue to let them. Today, change or let go of those stories that really don't serve you any longer and create new positive ones in their place. Your stories define who you are, change them up and you'll start to change your life. It may not be easy since your story has become a part of you, but you deserve the peace that will come when you finally allow yourself to let go.

Just for today, I recognize that it is my mind that creates my experiences and that I am unlimited in my own ability to create the good in my Life. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I have the power to create all that I wish for with my mind and my thoughts. I am truly someone special. As I change my thoughts, the world around me changes. And so it is.
