Donkey’s Thoughts for You

Over the last several days, the picture of a Donkey has popped into my mind, or the word “donkey” has come up in conversation or on the radio.  Because this seems unusual, I gathered that Donkey had a message for me.   In my meditation, Donkey did come in and had some thoughts to share.

• This is a time to keep your ears open to listen for unusual sounds around you.  Often, one can hear things or hear about things before the “thing” happens.  Your ability to hear will help you move through 2025 with grace.
• Work on your endurance.  Donkeys are noted for their endurance in harsher conditions.  For you, the conditions will be changing constantly, and you will need to have some survival skills in place by the last half of the year.  Thus, you need to get fit.
• If you can’t swim, now is a good time to learn this skill.  Swimming is good exercise and allows you to get use to a different environment.  Sinking or swimming – it is all about choices.
• Keep your feet groomed.  This should be self explanatory.
• Eyes wide open is the motto for a donkey walking through strange territory.  This is a good time to start practising the skill of observation.  What looks out of place?  Why is it there?  What is the bigger picture?  Start now, and practise.
• Sleep when you can.  Short naps will help your endurance, and will give you extra physical strength.  Most beings do not get enough sleep.
• Donkeys are vegetarian.  It is the way our digestive system is set up.  Do not artificially change your diet.  Eat what is good for you and for your digestive system.  Most humans do not tolerate a wide variety of raw.  That is why you invented fire.
• Take time to commune with Creator.  It will help you remember that we are all connected.

Then, after sharing these thoughts, Donkey brayed goodbye and walked off into the desert.

Blessings,

March 1 seems to hit in the middle of the Pisces astrology sign. What set me to thinking about Pisces and the fact that it is a water sign, was the huge “wave” of emotions that I am feeling across the province.  I asked my guides for clarification, and the same day, received this posting from my friend Christina Rai’s blog.  Here is a paragraph that was an “Ah-ha” for me.

“It is a mutable energy, one that is adaptable, malleable and shiftable. Like the ocean with waves moving in numerous directions, Pisces energy flows instinctively where it needs to flow. In the natural wheel of the zodiac, Pisces finds its home in the 12^th house, a sector of the horoscope that co-relates to the unconscious mind, and to the formative period in human development since it is equivalent to the first 2 hours of life after actual birth. Much is absorbed at this most critical time by the newly manifested being and it is a time when the soul of the being is very close to the surface of the skin. The infant science of psychology has only just begun to scratch the surface of the intricacies of emotional and mental development but I think that most thinking individuals will agree that what happens to a person in their early years forms the foundation for all that follows. I would add that what happens in the first few hours after birth is critical to later development, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Pisces provides the self with a template for all of this. So understand that this is the part of the psyche that absorbs stimuli and processes these stimuli in an organic manner, assimilating information into the most interior areas of the self …”  from christinarai.BlogSpot.com/

Keep Smiling

The poster says:  Sometimes all it takes is a SMILE to make everything better!

Reason to Smile

-by  Lendl Ian Servillon

How can one smile such sweet smiles, 
When one is so saddened by sorrows for miles, 
How can I smile the same smiles, 
When life brings me nothing but tears, 
I wondered for so long, 
What reason you had to smile that long, 
To keep smiling though troubles come, 
And still remain sweet and silently overcome, 
It's such a mystery to me, 
Your smiles from heaven with glee, 
I adore and yet envy thee, 
But I'd rather you smile those at me, 
I feel happy when I see you smile, 
Even if I'm sad and lonely, 
Your smiles bring me somewhere, 
I don't even know where, 
But it was you, 
You gave me the reason to smile, 
To smile with no reason, 
To smile for a smile, 
I guess life is just like that, 
We need not a reason to smile, 
For a smile is the reason itself, 
To rejoice and open-heartedly give thanks, 
I learned to smile because of you, 
Because your smiles bring me joy when blue, 
It proves how well and powerful, 
A simple sweet smile can become so beautiful, 
Smile for the sake of a smile, 
Smile for the sake of happiness, 
Smile for the sake of life, 
Smile because of hope left in life, 
Smile my friends, 
Smile for me my Love, 
Smile those same sweet smiles, 
Smile so the world can be a peaceful dove... 

**** 

Dear friends, 

Smiling is the best medicine. 

Blessings,

Mother Ocean Talks About Flowing

This is a time of changes and of remaking one’s self.  Mother Ocean reminds us all that this is a time of being like her.  One must flow with the waves.   The rhythm of the waves is nine ripples from Source at point zero out to nine waves and then collapsing to return to Source.  We are reminded that nothing is real.  All collapses with time.  It is the collapse that releases the tension and lets rebuilding begin.  

Use this time to find a way to ride with all the changes.  Be of a peaceful mind.  Use the phrase from Buddhism, “May I be filled with loving kindness, May I be well.  May I be peaceful and at ease, May I be happy.”

Blessings,

Judy

Self-Awareness And Self-Centeredness

 

The poster says:   

Self-awareness is not self-centeredness, and spirituality is not narcissism. 'Know thyself' is not a narcissistic pursuit.   Marianne Williamson. 

There is a lot going on in the world about spirituality versus religion, and individualism that has become narcissism.  The world has become confused about the difference between independence and individualism.

Remember that narcissism has been around since before the birth of Christ… it comes from the Greek God Narcissus who rejected love from others.  Instead, he gazed at his own reflection, admiring the perfection of his looks.

noun

1. a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.

   "narcissists who think the world revolves around them"

1. Remember that those that are selfcentered will never put your needs before their needs.  They have no emotional intelligence; they have no compassion.  These personalities are destructive, and they will not change.  These folks are to be avoided.

Gopher It!

Sometime this week, you will be given a chance to do something different, something you would not ordinarily do.  It might be the rekindling of a great love, or the opportunity to work in a different career and still use the skills that you have accumulated over the years.  Or, it might be the chance to move to a different city, province, or country.  The Gopher’s guidance is…”Go for it!”   Nothing happens unless you make a choice to change your life.   Gopher knows that no matter how far you “dig” to try and change your life, much of life happens by being in the right place at the right time.  Some call this coincidence.  In Science, a coincidence is when two rays of light strike a surface at the same place at the same point of time.  Sounds like the Universe sending light, doesn’t it?  Moreover, Science refers to this event as non-casual.  In other words, there are not any events that lead up to it.

So, if you see a Gopher, or several Gophers, or, if you see a lightening strike, know that the Universe is giving you some warning that something unusual is about to happen.  It is up to you to choose to accept the gift, or not.

Parrot Circle

Australian Wreath.....is there anything more beautiful than nature at it's best!! This delightful circle was taken at Lamington National Park, west of the Gold Coast. They are native Australian mountain parrots; the red and blue kind are Crimson Rosella, and the red and green are King Parrots. They are feasting on sunflower seeds which were left for them.

How cool is it that the Parrots in the above picture have all the colours of the chakras?  I heard a quote the other day that zinged right through me.  It was, “All things are created perfectly in God’s world.  If it is not perfect now, it is still in the process of creation.”  I look at the animals in the world and know that quote is true.
