Lady Bug

As the days get warmer, once again, we notice Lady Bugs coming out of no where, to bless our house.  They move to the windows where I pick them up and drop them on my plants.   They keep the leaves clean and shiny for me.  What I am coming to understand is that the Lady Bug is about being grounded and protection.  Her message always seems to be about:

• having no fear in starting over
• trusting that what ever quest you are on will receive assistance
• knowing that you will always end up with abundance

I hope this message speaks to you.

Blessings,

Judy

April 1 2024 - Walk In Nature

April Fool's day – a day for playing jokes.  This blog is not about joking.  It is about waking up and realizing that we need Nature in our lives.  It is about remembering that we come from Nature – from the Earth.  Our blood flows red with iron richness and lots of mineral and gases that are part of the Earth's structure.

We need to be out in Nature to restore our calm and to remind ourselves that we must care for the plants, animals, birds, etc. because they are our cousins.  They carry the same ingredients in their bodies. 

It is sad that we want to destroy the parks and rivers and lakes to "develop" them.  And, yes, in some places, wild lands are being reclaimed so that new life can flourish in those spots.

Today, decide to be out in Nature for one hour a week.  Then slowly increase the time.  

Many blessings,

Judy

A Message from The Angels

Picture from NASA library

Archangels and Angels have been a part of my life as long as I can remember.  I know that they have helped and guided me in some tough times, and that generally, they try to make my life smoother.  And, as we draw closer to Christmas, we sing about Angels and we decorate with them on our Christmas tree.  We may even use wrapping paper with angels on it as decorations.  Yet, most people do not see or hear the Angels.  The Angels have a message that I am sharing.

The Angels say:

“There are many things that you do not see, and even what you see is sometimes not what really is.  Humans have an interesting way of looking at things and deciding that it does not really exist.  Humans change the perspective, or the situation, to suit what they need to be true for them.  

This means that often most of you see us, the Angels and Guides and Ascended Masters, and that you refuse to believe what you are seeing.  We show you this picture.  You now see it courtesy of advanced technology on your planet.  You would never see this spiralling energy otherwise.  You would not know that it exists.  And yet, even if you don’t know about it, it does exist.  You think this only happens in outer space.  Well, your lack of seeing exists on Earth as well.  There are many animals, plants, insects, reptiles, and fish and birds that exist on Earth that you know nothing about. 

And, although you know nothing about them, all of these forms are connected to you, and you to them.  Look at the picture.  All of the small dots are connected to you and to each other.  Vastness has nothing to do with lack of connection.  You are not separate, and, you are not alone.  Aloneness is something that you create in you head.  Your body has an awareness of all things.  Notice how it reacts to objects around it, even when you are not aware of movement, or interest from some other being/object.

Pay attention to what is going on around you.  Do not let governments or corporations or teachers, lead you around by telling you that they do what is best for you.  All have their own agenda.

This is the beginning of a new year on your calendar.  Decide to act for yourself.

Many blessings,

Judy 

Welcoming in October 1 2023

I love the fall, and the feeling of peacefulness that it brings, as Mother Nature blankets up her charges and puts them to sleep.  I love walking through the dried grass with my dog and feeling the crispness of the grass and the air against my skin.

Autumn in our yard… picture by Judy Hirst

 

Just as Mother Nature cleans up the plants and the trees, and even the water and earth, we, too, need to clean up before the long winter rest.  We need to let go of old hurts, angers, resentments, and victimizations that we have hugged to our souls.  These wounds, for they are wounds, cripple us because we cannot move forward with our lives in ease.  The wounds may also cause us to become ill. The word “ill” by the way, is a word that means “attributing evil or an objectionable quality”, or, “causing suffering or distress”, or “not normal or sound <ill health>”.  One can see from Merriam-Webster’s definition that our hurts fit our ills.

I found a lovely prayer to offer up to the Goddess, who, one must remember is an aspect of Great Spirit.  It comes from Zsuzsanna Budapest, from her book, “The Grandmother of Time”.  She suggests writing out all the names of those people that you have issues with, and that you burn this list, as you say this prayer.

Dearest Goddess, 

I have come a long way this year, carrying my burdens.  I would like to take them off my shoulders and give them back to you to recycle, to bury, to compost.  Here, I offer you my resentments against friends, family, and (fill in you own needs here), and ask you to absorb them into your black universe.  Relieve me of them and allow me to walk more lightly.

    Now – Burn this list either in candle flames or in your smudging bowl.

I feel all light, happy and cleansed now.  Dearest Goddess, you are my true strength and guide.  I thank you for being accessible and answering your children’s call.  I honour you and thank you.

    Now – take the ashes and throw them into living water to let them wash away.  As you cast them off, don’t think about this anymore.

This is an amazing process!  If you are not comfortable using the term “Goddess” even though she is an aspect of Creator, then use the term “God”, or what ever you are comfortable with.  Each term is simply the aspect of Creator that resonates for us!

May all your prayers be heartfelt!

Many Blessings,

Judy

Giving

An act of giving is of most benefit when one gives something of value, carefully, with one’s own hand, while showing respect, and with a view that something wholesome will come of it. The same is true when one gives out of faith, respectfully, at the right time, with a generous heart, and without causing denigration.  - Andrew Olendzki, "Dana: The Practice of Giving" 

I was putting together a bag of clothes that we no longer use, and looked around the house for stuff – knick knacks, jewellery, dishes – that we no longer use.  I am working at getting our household to a simpler level of maintenance. 

When I sat down at my computer, I was pleased to see the above quote sitting in my inbox on my mail.  I love this quote!  While I don’t necessarily hand deliver everything, I certainly select what I give with much thought, and, I test to see whether the object is for the best and highest good of the receiver.  I also test to see if the object is good over the next year, if the answer is ‘yes, this is good for the receiver’.  If the object is only good for a day or a week, to me, there is no point in giving it. 

I like to give things to my family and to my friends.  I especially like to give herbs and aloe vera slips to people because the plants are so helpful.  What I have found too, is that plants like to move from place to place – at least some of them do.  So, for me, giving a plant is a win-win for the person and the plant.

I often wonder if, at the back of what is going on, Creator and my Angels are having a chuckle at how easily they can guide me to give something to someone who needs it.  I don’t mean that they are laughing at me; I mean, they are laughing with joy because I am joyful at the time, too.

Many Blessings,

Judy

Message From Archangel Uriel

   Archangel Uriel – often called “the Angel of Healing”
Legend states that Archangel Uriel is the Angel that heals the Earth, and is keeper of the knowledge of medicinal properties of all plants and trees and minerals.
Healers may call upon Archangel Uriel for guidance in their healing practices.

The following message is a channeled message from Archangel Uriel.

Dearest beings of light!  I call you that because all of you on Earth at this time are indeed beings of light – it is your wish to be here – to be part of the changes that are happening for this only happens once in a cycle of what you call “Nibiru”.  We call it “normal”.  It seems many are predicting disaster on the Earth.  Dearest Ones, I tell you that disasters happen every day on Earth, and many you remain unaware of!,

A disaster is so called because it creates a large area of destruction and causes distress to people and to the Earth.  Many of the disasters that I work to heal are caused by mankind.  The Earth generated volcanoes, tsunamis, forest fires, plate shifts, and great storms, are all natural house cleaning tools that allow the planet to move and shift.  There are places that humans should not be living to avoid some of these natural phenomena.  

Are you living where you are called to be?  Check in to your heart and see if where you are living feels right to you.  If it does not feel right, do you have the courage to quit what you are doing and move to that place that does feel right?  Dearest Ones, everyday I see people doing just that – making life changing decisions and quitting jobs and communities to go and be where they are called to be.  Believe that you will be taken care of. The shifting call is helping us hold the alignment of the planet so that it may evolve and change just as each of you are evolving and changing..

Are you happy doing what you are doing?  The way to heal is to change what it is you are doing.  Call to me in mediation and I will help you to understand the need to change.
Many blessings, Dear Ones.

Judy

Comfortable and Wise

  

Picture’s origin is not known as it was part of an email.

The most comfortable and wisest people are those who watch their health when they are healthy; guard their country when it is untroubled; and cultivate their fields well when weeds are nonexistent or scarce.
—Venerable Chwasan, “The Grace in This World” - a Buddhist

The Archangels share many ideas with us, and the wisdom today is about being on guard.  This means that we must not slip into complacency about health, protection, growing our food, and tending our animals and children. 

Mankind is a caretaker of many things, and over time, mankind has forgotten how to care-take himself and others.  This is a tragedy that has transpired into many businesses that profit from the idea of doing your caretaking for you.

Today, choose one thing to be more mindful about.  It may be looking after plants at home or in the office.  Become the best that you can be at this task.

Many blessings,

Judy

Buffalo On Winter - Spirit Animal

 

Buffalo walks in my dreams and tells me that food is getting more scarce.  I look around and I see that it is winter.  I tell Buffalo that food is always more scarce in Winter.  He shakes his shaggy head at me and says that I don't understand.  He says that the plants are not regenerating as they should.  He says the land is not fertile and that the plants are not as healthy.

In the dream, Buffalo says that the herd will move to a different spot – further west he thinks.  I ask what is causing the problem.  Buffalo shakes his head again.  He is not sure, he says, but he thinks it is the way that the humans are digging in the ground.  I take it that he means how they drill for oil and perhaps mining.  When i ask him this, he shakes again, and says it is more about how the land is torn up to put in roads and buildings, and how the leftovers (waste) from the humans is handled.  

He walks up to me and butts me with his head.  It is his way of saying goodbye.  He turns, and as one, the herd moves with him and they begin their trek.

I feel sad, and I yell "Goodbye!"

Many blessings,

Judy
