Look To The Stars

Dear Ones!  Start looking to the stars.  Did you see how “star” appears in “start”?  If you look to the sky even late morning, you will see the Moon, and even some twinkling stars if you are lucky enough to catch their reflection.

The Stars are now sending more energy to this solar system.  The energy is causing the Sun to expand and contract more rapidly.  Solar flares are very common.  The flares, in turn, change the magnetics of the Earth.  This is why you may feel some dizziness from time to time, or feel that the Earth tilts or moves.  

You are also experiencing some changes caused by the rapid rise and fall in temperature.  This is not the norm, and, is again, influenced by the Stars.

Blessings,

Judy

When Sleep Is Difficult

Sleep is very difficult for many of you.  Sleep will be several hours only and you then are awake, tired, hot, and restless. You toss and turn. You feel that you are alone. You feel that your misery is a punishment.  Know that it is not.

When you are restless, you are getting a signal that you need to make a change in your life, in your daily activities.  You may need to walk more, be outside more, or find more time for yourself to meditate, read, or pursue a creative outlet.

When you are restless, you may also be dehydrated.  This is true if you get some leg cramps or some foot cramps.  Drink lots of water because water carries light.  Water helps you change your vibration, and, when you do move to a more comfortable vibration, you will sleep better.

Blessings,

Judy

May 1, 2026 Starting Summer and Sparkling Beings

May 1st in many places is seen as the beginning of summer because in the old ways, this is Beltane Day. Celebrations abound in parts of Europe.  Drum festivals, fire festivals, summer markets, and bonfires and dances.  In my part of the world, we can still get snow so May 1 is the hope for summer.  

The feeling of change is prevalent at this time.  Some of us are lucky enough to se e the Sparkling Beings – those made of pure energy – are coming to visit because the light frequencies are so high. Many see them as flashes or brief orbs.  They are here to watch and learn and assist, if called to assist.  We must remember to ask for help.

This is the time that the concept of “selfie” has dangers associated with it.  To be so into the selfishness of me, to be in that isolation, is to move away from Oneness and all that comes with Oneness.  It is, however, a choice.  Each choice is perfect for each person.

So it is.

Blessings,

Judy

A Blue Jay Moment

We were sitting on the deck this afternoon when Blue Jay popped onto a branch of the fir tree next to us, and leaned over to chat.

He was telling us to get prepared for an early winter.  He reminded me that I should buy more bird seed.  He said that he was grateful for the food that I put out.  And, he was grateful for all that we did for the birds and small animals.

Blue Jay went on to say that he and his kind were not always the kindest to their feathered kin.  He offered that we were always kind.

I thanked him. 

Blessings,

Judy

Healing Is A Slow Process

 The poster says:  Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step. —-Unknown

********************************

Like many people, over my lifetime, I have had to deal with different illnesses or physical situations that required some lengthy healing time.  Yes, our bodies do regenerate.  Yes, western medicine fixes many things that are broken, however, ultimately it is our own bodies that finish the healing.  We must allow the body the time and the energy to heal.  Many of us interfere with healing by eating or drinking the foods that interfere with the healing, or interfere by exercising too early or not getting enough sleep.  There are many factors that help and hinder healing.

Early on in my life, I learned that I did not need to do all the work and research by myself.  I asked for help.  It seemed that as I asked for help with whatever issue I was facing, the healing happened easier, if not quicker.  

Do I have any suggestions about asking for help?  Yes.  Here are some things that I found helpful.

1.  Specialists are great but even they can get it wrong.  Trust your body to tell you what is wrong and do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong if your body sends different messages than what a doctor is saying.  If I had listened to a doctor who kept telling me I was suffering from stress, I would not have found out that I had an inherited condition that could be controlled with a prescription.

2.  Use western medicine and support it with a great naturopath or shaman or medicine woman who can help with natural solutions if they are an alternative to a drug that causes side effects.  There are times when acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, BodyTalk, and all other holistic practices will help speed the healing process.

3.  Listen to your body, especially in recovery.  There is a saying in Qi Gong - No pain is no pain.  In the west, we often think that we need to push into pain and that pain is a badge.  Pain is pain and stops the healing process.  Pain is a blockage. Energy - healing energy does not flow through a blockage.

4.  Learn to stop to rest and/or sleep easily and as often as you can.  If you watch animals that are injured or are ill, they sleep much of the time.  When the body is at rest, the best healing happens because there are not any roadblocks to stop the healing.

5.  Go outside and be in Nature, especially be in a woods or forest or along water.  Healing happens by trees and by rivers.

If you are healing from something, I wish you strength and grace in dealing with your situation.  If you are strong and well, I wish you good fortune to stay healthy and to concentrate on continual healing support for your body.

Blessings,

Judy

Do Not Settle For One Victory

 

The poster says:  Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them. ---- Mia Hamm

**************************************

Have you ever noticed that when you sit and chat with family or friends, that often the topic turns to the successes that a person or people had in the past, and how they mourn them?  They do not ever seem to talk about victories in the present, and there must be some.

So often we look in the mirror of the past that we do not see the present and all the great things that are right before us.  Some of the every day victories that we can celebrate include:

-setting a personal best at an exercise routine that you do whether it is running, walking, weight lifting, pilates, etc.

-walking in nature three out of seven days of the week.  Talk about it.  Celebrate it.

-making it to two out of four games that your child is playing either for school or in a community league.  When you are working, breaking free from work to champion your child is worth celebrating.

-talking to a parent or sibling or good friend who is far away can also be a reason to feel victory when your time is jammed with things that must be done.  

-going shopping when you have been getting groceries and other things delivered. Or, the opposite, you now order things to be delivered to free up some time for other things.  A change is reason to feel a personal victory.

The list can go on.  Please add to it by putting in a comment below.  I see people sigh and list all the things they cannot do.  They do not talk about the things that they have accomplished.  Accomplishments are the way to help you live positively.

Blessings,

Judy

If Love Is Not Provided

 The poster says:  You’ve got to learn to leave the table when love’s no longer being served.  —-Nina Simone

***************************

We wonder why someone or some group of people do not love us.  We blame ourselves.  We must have failed them in some way.  It must be our fault!  

Be assured.  Each of us is loveable.  Each of us is love.  When people deny you love, whether it is your parents, your siblings, old friends or new friends, you need to recognize that the fault is theirs, not yours.  When someone says, ‘if you really loved me, you would do xxxxx.”, you know that they have an agenda that is to manipulate you.  Manipulation or coercion is not love.  It is forcing you to do something that is against your will.  That is not love.  

Love is acceptance without conditions.  That is why so many people are turning to pets because pets love unconditionally.

Blessings,

Judy

Body, Mind, And Soul

I drew three cards from Deborah Koff-Chapin’s deck of SOULCARDS 2.  They represent the Body, Mind and Soul.  I was asking what was going on with my body, my work, and whether that satisfied my soul.

The answer was the three cards.  There are several interpretations.  For me, the indication is to look further to help my Soul.

Perhaps you too, will find an answer in these cards.

Blessings,

Buddha on Reflecting Love

The problem with interpersonal love is that you are dependent on the other person to reflect love back to you. That’s part of the illusion of separateness. The reality is that love is a state of being that comes from within.

- Ram Dass, “Tuning the Mind” 

We all expect that love will be available, freely, to us, because we are charismatic.  We believe that we are all loveable.  We believe that if we are not loveable, it is the other person’s fault.  We need to love ourselves, and then, everyone loves us!

Owl Messages

The Great Horned Owl has long been a symbol of great wisdom to humans.  Probably because it flies at night and sees clearly in the dark – something that humans cannot do.  

The Great Horned Owl has been coming and sitting in the tree outside our house at night.  It sings a song that is filled with messages that make sense for us to follow.

• Eat only those things that you have grown or caught or worked for… you know that they are healthy
• Live in balance – eat regularly, sleep to heal, and play with your family and friends.  Work only for what you need to keep eating
• Try new things!  Let yourself soar, if only in your imagination.  You will be happy at how high you go.  You will see your life with more clarity.
• Do not try to see through another’s eyes.  Instead, go higher and look down at your self.  It makes a difference.

Blessings,

Judy

We All Fail At Some Things

The poster says:  Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. —Marilyn Monroe

**********************

I am hearing about the lack of coping skills that many adults under forty seem to exhibit.  The refrain is “they do not know how to accept and deal with failure”.  In our world, not all of us are going to be able to excel at everything.  We are all unique and we are born with different strengths and weaknesses.  These skills require that we find and mesh with others and thus create the teams that are successful.  No one person can do it all.

Blessings,

Judy
 

You Are Here To FULLY Live Life

The poster says:  Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

********************************

As I watch people aging around me, I notice that the biggest difference between happy people and sad or angry people, is the amount of change that each individual allows in their own life. 

What do I mean?  The happy people are always going and growing.  They learn new things.  They participate in groups or volunteer.  They go beyond what they can or what they have to do to look after themselves.  Many of them are quite active physically in walking, biking, hiking, playing pickle ball or swimming.  The physical activity allows them additional energy to do other things.  When chatting with some of them, they all say that they will give up other things to continue to do the physical activity.  

I think that there is a lot going on about aging that we do not understand and that we can possibly change.  One of the things is going beyond the comfort zone.  What do you think? 

Blessings,

Judy

Take Responsibility

Responsibility is about taking credit for your own actions.  When you blame someone else, then you give your power away.  Giving your power away means that people have no reason to respect you, look up to you, or see you as a valuable friend.  

If you want to change the way people look at you, take responsibility.  It is easy to look at the other person, the circumstances, the scene, or the environment, and say that you are not able to make changes – that others want to limit you.  You and I know that is not true.  Yes, some people may want to bully you.  Don’t let them.

Blessings,

Judy 

Visible Or Not - It Is Achievable

The poster says:  Success is possible and achievable.

********************************

So often the life you lead is because you see things in the mirror of failure.  Try positive thinking.  See things in the mirror as though you do them with zest.  Make the intangible real to your mind, and you have already achieved it.   Success is always available to us, even though it may be in a different route than you imagined.

The biggest mystery is that thoughts are energy.  And, therefore, you are what you create.  This is not new, and it is not either good or bad.  It is a state of being.

The question becomes, would you rather be stuck or rolling?

Blessings,

Judy 

My Soul Says Ward Yourself

The poster says:  Glance backward.  Look heavenward.  Reach outward.  Press onward.   — Thomas S. Monson

**************************************

My soul tells me that I must ward myself.  The old meaning of ward was to protect.  I look at this poster and I laugh!  What a contradiction it is!  

Back ward.  Protect yourself from the back, from the past.  That’s good advice.

Out ward.  Protect yourself from the outside and yet you must reach out.  What courage that takes!  Can I do it?  I will have to see.

Heaven ward.  Oh my!  Protect yourself from Heaven, and yet gaze up to it.  It is a measurement of the distance of where I am and where I aspire to go.  Do I have the strength to stay the course?  I know not at this time.

On ward.  Well, I protect myself from going on – that is going forward, and I must yet press to go there.  This is a stasis point, and one place where I do see people getting stuck.  What can I do to move beyond this?  I believe.  I move on.

Blessings,

Judy

My Soul Says “No Limits”

Today my soul speaks to me and asks me to go higher and farther than I have been before.  I accept the challenge.  Yet, I do not know what to expect.

Then, the surprises start coming!  I go into a deeper meditation than ever before.  I do not see everything, yet I see some scenes happen so clearly, beginning to end, before I even start the situation.  I have precognition.  I can change the outcome.  I can touch things that were not touchable for me, yesterday.  

I have grown.

Blessings,

Judy

April 1 And Change

 

The poster says:

If we don’t change, we don’t grow.  If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. —-Gail Sheehy

April 1 is a commonly called April Fool’s Day.  You can read more about that on this blog post - https://www.lightstationwisdom.com/2025/04/april-1-for-love-and-fools.html.

April is the change month.  Everything changes. We move from winter into full tilt spring.  Yes, spring comes earlier in some places.  Where I am, April is when the birds nest, the crocuses are out, and the trees bud.  You can feel the change in the air in people, too.  People are outside more and seem more open and friendly.  

When we talk about change, it means the physical changes of course.  However, it also includes the mental and spiritual changes that happen to folks when they feel the surge of life when they are out in Nature.  Nature has a way of bringing us into balance - getting out of our head and into our heart.  We feel and absorb and grow.

Many blessings,

Judy

Touch The Moon

The Angels say that we are too focused on the material.  To translate, what they mean is that we do not dream the lofty dreams that our Ancestors had.  Instead, we are caught up in texting, tweeting, face-booking, emailing, and gaming.  All things we do with our heads down to our phones, ipads, tablets, or computers.  We stare into technology instead of reaching out to the Universe at large.  

Today, try to touch the Moon.  Imagine all the ways that it might be possible.  What would it mean to you?  To others?  

Blessings,

Judy 

Elk and Friends

Elk always knows where the sweetest grass is, and where the water runs clean and pure.  The legends speak of Elk’s ability to talk with the earth, the rocks, the trees, and all that is with them.  If you look in the picture above, you can see the face of a guardian in the rock face.  The Guardians look after the Earth and the animals.  The Guardians are friends to the Elk, and protect them while their antlers are growing. 

Blessings,

Judy
