Chakra Clearing Archangel Metatron: “Call upon me to clear and open your chakras, using sacred geometric shapes.” Additional Message: Metatron uses sacred geometry shapes to clear and align the chakra energy centers in our bodies. Mentally ask Metatron to open your chakras, and he’ll gently send his “Metatron cube” (the shape pictured in the card illustration) through the crown chakra at the top of your head. The cube rotates downward, cleaning psychic toxins from your body and chakras. When your chakras are clear, you’ll feel more energized and have increased intuition. Working with Archangel Metatron: Metatron’s aura is beautiful violet and sea foam-green stripes. The crystal aligned with Metatron’s energy is watermelon tourmaline.

They say that it is important to love ourselves, but how much of this do we truly take to heart? I was engulfed in the process of writing my new moon affirmations--consumed by the thought of putting my manifestations into play. With each stroke of my pen, I wrote out my life's wants and needs--thoughts about myself that I have always longed to feel, but was always one thought shy of truly believing. It then dawned on me how much I have always struggled to love myself. To love myself fully, deeply, and without conditions. To love myself for all that I am. To love myself as much as I love my significant other. To love myself enough to not deem my traits as flaws or inadequacies, but as lessons. To love myself enough to not depend on the thoughts of my external counterparts, ideologies, and past mistakes. To love myself for who I am--the past, the changes, the pain, the ups, the downs, the present, and future doings. To love myself for all that I am, all that I have been, and will be. Up until this moment, I have never truly found it within my grasps to find this undying, unrequited love for myself. But, you know what? This New Moon in Leo speaks to my soul. A new fire has been lit. A new energy is brewing. And for the first time in this entire incarnated existence that is my life, I can truly sit here and say that I. Love. Myself. No worries, no qualms, no hesitations. None of that filtered bullshit kind of love. It is all heart-based; deeply rooted, unapologetic, and unrefined. I hope that you all find that love within yourself. It is amazing, and the most freeing fucking feeling I have ever felt in the entirety of this cosmic life. Infinite love to all of you beautiful souls. I love you. 😘💞🌈 #musingsfromtheheart

Last night I was talking to @spiritrealmer about how disgusted I have been about the recently publicized trophy hunters and huntresses. I reasoned that there is no justification for people to kill innocent and endangered animals, and then in the same breath—call themselves wildlife conservationists. This made no sense to me. I judged these people, and spoke of them with much anger and resentment In the midst of my heated outpouring of thoughts and feelings, an ant crawled onto my elbow and bit me! It was such an ironic moment for me. Here I was--carefully picking up ants, one-by-one, putting them outside...and then this little bugger comes and bites me Pausing, I KNEW the ant was trying to tell me to stop the judgment. I had even told Joshua that my SOUL has a deep need to love people unconditionally, whether they kill animals or not. My ego, on the other hand, was quick to justify that it was morally unjust, and so it was too difficult to sympathize with such actions This morning, I woke up to comments on one of my posts that I felt were unjustly condemning. Now, I was the one being unfairly judged for a misinterpreted perspective. Everything comes full circle, doesn’t it? That is the beauty in life--everything and everyone comes with a lesson. Our reflections are all around us. There is no getting away from it The least we can do is be aware and appreciative of these lessons. However ugly the experience, it is because of them that we are able to come to terms with our faults and grow into the beautiful beings that we are. 😊

For Christmas last year, my lovely former boss gave me a stone-cut, lotus-shaped incense holder. Carved into the petals are four tiny holes designed to seat bamboo-less incense sticks. One of my silly quirks prior to starting any sort of session is to fill each hole with a stick. There always has to be four in rotation. Unfortunately, for the past month, one of the holes has been plugged by a bit of residual ash and crumbles. Today, I went to fill the remaining three--only to find that another hole is now plugged! It was then that I received this download: Although I constantly yearn for stability and foundation within my life, I cannot do so without first standing on my own two feet. This was the symbol presented to me in the form of the two holes—to plant both feet into the ground and stand strong within myself. When I find the strength, confidence, and indispensable love for myself, I will attract the vibrations that will stand as the walls of my fortress of resilience. -------------- And what do you know? Just after finishing this post, the residual ash broke free and now I am back to my four sticks. Thank you, Universe. Lesson learned. 🙏❤

You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy. You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way. Set fire to your old self. It’s not needed here. It’s too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference. Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn’t necessary.

So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.

Water is multifaceted.

In its liquid state, it is fluid and free-spirited; moving to the stream of its own being. As steam, it fashions a sense of lightness that feels almost porous. It is strong, but in the most subtle of ways. Ice, on the other hand, sits in its dense bravado. Ice is burly and robust—it can even burn you if you are not careful. Regardless of its form, it is still the same being—it is still water.

Humans are much like this.

Throughout the entirety of our lives, we tend to wax and wane—this is inevitable. We shift our lives to fit into a mold in which we have laid out for ourselves; our thoughts and belief systems waver with the tides of time; our seemingly most precious relationships are in constant seesaw; our interests teeter amidst our ever-changing wants and needs, and we age.

Nevertheless, the core of our being is always the same.

Humans possess a natural affinity for love. This is our way of being. Despite the rough exterior; the thorns and steel-cased walls that we barricade ourselves in—we are loving. We crave love just as much as we wish to project it. Social media is but a mere channel for this, while relationships are another.

If at the center of our hearts, we are peace-loving by nature, this theme will always be the centrifuge of all of our idealizations.

Sure, we may become angered by societal aspects that are out of our control and we may experience difficult situations where piercing words are exchanged. In our desperation, we may even go so far as to use brute force as a means of passionately rationalizing a situation. But behind these thought patterns and lapses in judgment, there is a conscious dwelling that is seated by our conscience and empathy.

The projections in which we present ourselves are not always one and the same. At work, we have a tendency to hold up a veil of sternness and sophistication. With friends, we flutter to the beat of our common vibration, laced with comfortability and understanding. At home, without fear of embarrassment, we bask in our own signature essence; our sinks may be filled to the brim with dishes, and we may still lovingly clutch to our favorite pillow–no matter the age.

As error-prone humans, we tend to make mistakes, and so, perfection is always but one reach too far. We say hurtful things; act out from a place of pain, and we often forget that our actions create a ripple within our earthly and cosmic forefront. Whatever the case, we all feel—we feel for one another and we feel for ourselves.

Regardless of how much our external selves seemingly change, we are still the same being at our core.

Water, whether in the form of liquid, gas, or solid—its undercurrent is still water.

…And what is at the very depths of our own human experience? Why, love of course.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Venus in Virgo - The Maiden in Mystique

                                               I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.                                            

                                                                                       Mahatma Gandhi 

Love is no dramatic and theatrical display of affection for Venus in Virgo, but more an expression of sublime service and humble adoration. Venus is at fall in Virgo, so the individual has boundaries to overcome in the realms of his social life and relationship behavior. He is attracted to intelligent, witty, mercurial types, and is rarely seduced by the promise of luxury, money, and glamor. He approaches relationships with caution and may feel he is unworthy and undeserving of the relationship he is in. He exudes a sensual sexual expression and requires a high level of intimacy, first with the mind, then with the body. The individual is refined in love and seeks a level of intricate harmony and bonding that is free from turmoil and conflict. He typically relies on conversation and intellectual rapport to summon the deeper communion.

The Venus in Virgo person displays his love and affection through simple acts of service for his loved ones. He pulls the blanket over their body when it is cold, and has a warm cup of tea waiting for them on the windowsill. He shows his love, by his actions, rather than poetic words and grandiose gestures. His need to find the ‘perfect’ partner helps facilitate their chosen partner as ‘perfect’. This can result in disastrous disillusionment when the flawless facade shatters and he realises this person is simply human - like everybody else. This expression comes back to the urge of the archetypal Virgo - to ascend beyond human, to retain the bubblewrap of porcelain perfection. The individual prefers to keep relationships free from heavy emotional themes and clinginess. Any form of drama, pettiness or jealousy will be hard to to tolerate. He perceives relationships to be an addition to his life, rather than an entity to fill a missing space. The Venus in Virgo person tends to strictly guard his feelings and may carry internal feelings of shame, embarrassment and insufficiency when it comes to his expression around others.

People born under this placement may be shy around potential partners and  discriminative and selective in romance. The individual is highly attuned to the anxieties of his partner and likes to bare down a routine to avoid the flourish. Emotions and love are intangible, and when the individual cannot grab ahold of something, it throws out all inner equilibriums. Every move he makes will be deeply evaluated and thought out, and he may spend hours internally deliberating on how to respond to a message. Even though he feels close to somebody he struggles to express this, and instead seeks to enjoy the simple silence of togetherness and the joy of simply being ‘with’ somebody. The Venus in Virgo person doesn’t go ‘looking’ for relationships, or compromising happiness for chaotic or dysfunctional relationships- instead he rests his wings and sits by to wait for that perfect fit that magically slots inside Venus jewellery the box. Love with Venus in Virgo will involve the most deep, soul satisfying conversations, a deep sensitivity for your needs, anxieties and fears, and the comforting solidity of Earth’s protective wings
