Happy Thanksgiving Canada - October 14 2024

 

Here is a lovely prayer to use for Thanksgiving if you are looking for something new to share with family or friends.

The Canticle of the Creatures

Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, honor and blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong;
no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.
We praise You, Lord, for all Your creatures,
especially for Brother Sun, who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
of You Most High, he bears your likeness.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars,
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.
We praise You, Lord, for Brothers Wind and Air,
fair and stormy, all weather's moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Water,
so useful, humble, precious and pure.
We praise You, Lord, for Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night.
He is beautiful, playful, robust, and strong.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Earth,
who sustains us
with her fruits, colored flowers, and herbs.
We praise You, Lord, for those who pardon,
for love of You bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
by You Most High, they will be crowned.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in their sins!
Blessed are those that She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.
We praise and bless You, Lord, and give You thanks,
and serve You in all humility.

Written by St. Francis of Assisi

The Tiredness That Over Whelms You!

 The information below is a message from the Angels that I received in a meditation. I think that many of us can relate to feeling an extraordinary tiredness at times.  When the tiredness hits me, I think that it is because of illness.  However, this seems to be a movement around the Earth.

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

Beloveds, we greet you!  We tell you that the great fatigue that you are all feeling is a result of the many changes that are happening in your body, in your etherics, and on the planet.  Yes, everything is going through modifications so that the Earth and each of you will be in harmony with the newness that is happening in the next several months.

Even humans that are not in the spiritual path are feeling that a big change is coming.  Interesting to us is that you all see the change as coming, as in the future.  Really, the change is happening and on going.  Perhaps you see it as the future because humans have trouble being in the now moment.  The Ancestors that existed on the planet even a thousand years ago had more time to be in the now moment.  Everything happened less on schedule and more on flow.

The big change that is taking place is that the magnetic alignment of the Earth and of the Universe, for that matter, is changing.  This means that the magnetic alignment of the human body is also changing.  The tug of war going on in your body is what is making you tired.  You may find that you feel ill, that you are putting on weight unexplainably, or that you are losing weight without reason, or that your vision changes and becomes blurred or quite clear.  All of these symptoms plus many others are contributing to the fatigue.

The solution is to go with the flow of fatigue and rest!  Rest will help you move through this more quickly than anything else.

Rest well and stay in the light.

What Is Your Hot Button?

We all have personal sensitivities—“hot buttons”—that are evoked in close relationships. Mindfulness practice helps us to identify them and disengage from our habitual reactions, so that we can reconnect with our partners. We can mindfully address recurring problems with a simple four-step technique: (1) Feel the emotional pain of disconnection, (2) Accept that the pain is a natural and healthy sign of disconnection, and the need to make a change, (3) Compassionately explore the personal issues or beliefs being evoked within yourself, (4) Trust that a skillful response will arise at the right moment.  – Christopher Germer, "Getting Along"

I read this quote and realized how appropriate it is for these times when we are all on a short fuse and anxious about what will happen.  I wondered how many people are finding that the hot buttons that they thought were dealt with are now popping up in the most odd places, and anger is being triggered.  Or perhaps it is not anger, it is simply the huge reaction (emotional) that you have to something.  Triggers are all about learning – around self, family, and beliefs. 

What beliefs do you carry that are not helping you?  What values are out dated?  What people are no longer going to be part of your life because you need to move on? 

These questions are ones that we see pop up everyday.  How are you handling them?

Blessings,
