The Energy of the Week: Blessed Be

3/28/2016

Photo Finish Phrase: Blessed Be

Hello beautiful people,

Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.

Let us begin.

Position One: The Lesson

Nine of Cups = what spells have you been casting? What is hidden in your heart that needs to be revealed? The lesson card is telling us that we should take notice of all the good things within our life, for they out weight the bad. Take a look at your life right now. As you read this, are you noticing that you are alive? That you are reading this on a computer screen/tablet/phone? Have you noticed that you are still moving forward with every step you take? You have not dropped dead from the many items you worry about that are not within your current environment. Do not worry this week about how it will happen. Know that it will take place. The cards are talking about getting what we have wanted for so long. One of the many spells (prayers) will be answered and manifested.

Position Two, Three, and Four: The Details

Seven of Coins, Six of Cups, Six of Swords = Ah. The details have much more to say. How do I know that you will receive what you have wanted?
Easy.
The cards are advising me that you have been putting the exact amount of energy needed to fulfill your goal. Be cautious though. The past will rise up from the ground. It may sprout within you like a weed. Have you tended to your spiritual garden?
Are you taking notice of those weeds?
Work on taking care of your thoughts that are being planted in your wonderful spiritual garden of manifestation. I will leave you with this little bit of information, for the cards are very direct and to the point this week, take notice of who is coming back into your life.
What kind of energy do they represent?
Sometimes we are faced with a certain person from the past because we have conjured them up. We think about them and in turn they listen. Sometimes we forget the power of our thoughts and emotions. Know that they are present within your life for a reason.
Do you know what the reason is?
It is okay if you do not.
The real question you should ask your lovely soul is, “What is it within me that is present in this certain person?”
Ponder the question for a day or two. Ask if over and over. You will receive an answer. I just know it.
With that answer you will be able to move forward in a new direction towards what really matters, which is your happiness.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: That's the Story of, that's the Glory of Love.

Photo Finish Phrase: That’s the story of, that’s the glory of love.

Hello beautiful people,

Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.

Let us begin.

Position One: The Lesson

Three of Swords (Love, Heaven is watching over you) = When I see this card show up in a reading, I automatically think of sorrow, but not the usual kind of sorrow everyone is thinking of. The sorrow I am talking about is one that takes us from the static state we are in and propels us into a new light. Sorrow with transformation as the end result is a healthy sorrow. We all must grieve in our own way. We all must grieve in our own time. The key to sorrow is to not let it turn into Regret.
How funny.
I say the same thing with Anger.
All of these emotions that we experience in our life and they all can lead to a particular energy named Regret. Regret can keep us from spiritual growth. It can spin our wheels and create the same lesson in the future lives ahead of us. The lesson we must keep a look out for is when sorrow begins to turn into regret. We are not alone. Sorrow with the loss of something is natural to feel but in time you must learn to let that sorrow go and focus on the greater good.

Position Two, Three, and Four: The Details

Throat Chakra (Healing, Reward), Four of Coins, Crown Chakra (Higher Education, Practice makes perfect) = When I look at the cards here, in the Details section, I think of the movie “Beaches” with Bette Midler. The song she sings for her audition as a child and the same song she sings at the end of her concert.

“The Glory of Love”

I love this cover of the song that she sings. It explains the cards in every detail.
“You have to laugh a little. Cry a little. Even get the blues a little…”
The cards are advising us to pay attention to the flow of your energy. All of us go through troubled times at one point or another in our life. The real lesson sits within our reaction to that trouble. Are we allowing it to take over or are we taking charge and making shit happen? Our energy is associated with Love. How we receive it has an effect on our energy flow, as well as how we do not receive it.
We are always receiving the energy required to function from Source but sometimes when we pinch our current self off from Source, we still carry on and give our energy (love) out to others freely.
We think that we are an endless supply of energy.
Well, I hate to say this, but when you are not in alignment with Source or your Higher Self then you are not an endless supply of energy. You are freely giving your own personal energy to those around you.
This is when Energy Vampires and such can perform such tasks as sucking the life out of you, or leaving you feeling drained. Learn to take care of your own items and issues so that you will be in alignment with Source and in turn no one can take any sort of energy from you.

Yes, sometimes you will cry, sometimes you will laugh, and certainly you will get the blues, but it is all worth the end result.

Oh, were you thinking that I was going to say it was worth the love of another person?

Nope.

It was all worth the love from your current self. And that is the best damn love anyone could ever get. It is the greatest lesson anyone could learn in this lifetime.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
Aaron

The First Time I Popped my Reiki Cherry

3/15/2016

Master

I was just starting out on my spiritual journey and a lot of shit was coming up with my past. I wanted to heal my inner soul and my physical body at the same time. I had been meditating and doing my mantras but something just did not feel right.
I wanted more.
I wanted to open my Heart Chakra up and let all the demons out of it. I wanted Source light to shine down and cleanse me of my past (hey, I was young and new to all this metaphysical healing stuff. I did not understand how all of it worked. I thought that it would just magically get rid of shit within my life and make it all better).

Maybe it was due to having the Craft on repeat in the DVD player. (Haha)

I was looking at some DVD’s on Netflix one day and decided to look up Spiritual stuff. There it was. A DVD on Reiki by Steve Murray. I thought to myself “Reiki? On DVD? What?!!!!”

Hell yes! I hit the jackpot.

There were three; Reiki I, Reiki II, and Master Reiki attunements.
I received the first one.
Delish!
It was just 15 minutes of an attunement and music. You did not see him do anything. It was his voice and a picture of clouds moving. I didn’t feel anything.
I did not feel any different.

I waited for DVD #2.
It arrived in the mail
Yes in the mail! I am that old. Remember when Netflix use to only ship out DVD’s?
No?
Well I do.

Anyways. So there I was, DVD in hand, and ready to start my second attunement. There was Steve explaining how the second attunement will open me up more and also how I could use the Reiki symbols to do wonderful things.
I could work on other people.
I could send healing energy to other places and a certain time.
Oh boy! I was ready!

The second attunement was the same as the first. His voice talking and the scene of a beach or sky. Actually he advised us to keep our eyes closed as he did the attunement and we had to put our hands in certain positions when he told us. I have to admit I peeked. (Hehe)
I felt a little different. I started to practice it on others and on myself but the power just wasn’t what I thought it would be like. I thought that rainbow beams would be shooting from my hands and stuff. Even as I write this I am laughing.
Oh young Aaron. How silly you were back then.

The third DVD arrived a few days later and I was just as excited as when the first one arrived. I knew that I was meant to learn Reiki and at this time I was a broke dick dog. I could rent DVD’s but to pay someone $500 to $700 to learn Reiki just was not on the top of my list of things to do. Frankly eating and having a roof over my head came first. As much as I love the homeless look, it just did not suit me. Also I had this obsession with something called Carbs and they soothed my aching fat kid soul.

So there I was watching the last installment of the Reiki series. He did the attunement with the clouds on the screen (yes I peeked again), hand positions set, and also the fourth and last Reiki master symbol.

I went on my way and started to try it out on everyone, but as I came to find out, without guidance or a teacher I did not know what the hell I was doing. I kind of gave up. I moved onto other healing techniques and started to work with the Chakras.

Fast forward a lot of years later.

I know have been formally attuned by a teacher named Brian Parker and it was the greatest investment I could have spent money on. It was something that I had always wanted to do and also I received guidance on how to really use Reiki.

I found out that Reiki is a good base for learning how to heal and it can be paired with many things such as Crystals and Sound Therapy.
You can pair it with working on Chakras and also with meditation.

I am in love with Reiki.

I am not knocking the DVD by Steve Murray. Steve Murray’s intentions are good.
Actually I give him props for doing something so different and also getting Reiki out there to the mass (at that time). If anything he gave me the tool to start my journey of healing. It was up to me to put it to use and also seek out more guidance from other teachers. I dig that he kind of went down a path of "You can study at home on your own time", which is what people are doing with everything now a days. You can learn Tarot on your own time at your own pace. You can learn to enhance your skills with being a medium at home on your own time.
Frankly, they opened me up to the possibility of healing.

I actually want to thank the spirits (and Steve Murray) for sending me the information at that time. I would not have landed in this very spot here and now.

I would totally buy the DVD’s now just to have it for maintenance. I hear it is a good idea to get the attunement every so often. My Reiki teacher even advised me that he would do it if I ever felt that I needed it.
I think I am grateful that Reiki is in my life because I would not have found my most favorite teacher in the world. He has been my mentor, bestie, and fellow Tarot Geek for a while now. Reiki really led me to Brian Parker.

Kudos to Reiki.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Balance of Light and Dark

balance of light and dark

Photo Finish Phrase: Balance of Light and Dark

Hello beautiful people,

Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Position One: The Lesson

The Chariot = the steps we take to create our goal into reality can be jumbled. One must have focus in order to create what is desired. Without balance of light and dark one can get lost within the thoughts of what others think. Remember to go at your own pace and move forward with the intent of good. Your goal can only be reached by action on your part.

Position Two, Three, and Four: The Details

The Star, Seven of Swords, Six of Swords = There will be distractions that will try and take your mind off of what you desire. Do not let them steal your happiness away. You must trust your intuition with the choices you have to make this week. Do not let the opinion of others stop you from reaching your goal. Do not focus on the “No”. It will only cause you to doubt every step you have decided to take up to now. Focus on the delight of the journey. Look at the positive progress you have had so far. If the “No” was really a no, then you would be back at the beginning.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: The Vessel Must Be Broken in order for the Spirit to be Reborn

Photo Finish Phrase: The Vessel Must Be Broken in Order for the Spirit to be Reborn

Hello beautiful people,

Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Position One: The Lesson

The Chariot = Remember to be prepared for your grand adventures. The lists you created last week will prepare you for the journey you are on.
What will you be bringing?
What will you need?
Take care of the vessel that carries you from point A to point B.
This card is talking about movement forward. The ability to maintain the very vessel that you own. It may be your car. It may be an airplane. It may be your body. It is the only vessel that you own in full. It is not on lay away. It is not on lease. You are the owner of your body and taking care of it is a requirement this week.
Be kind to your body. Be kind to your soul. Heal and take care of both of them this week. It is needed.

Position Two, Three, and Four: The Details

Two of Wands, Strength, Death = The sacred vessel, we call our body, must go through change. Our bodies are always advising us of the current state of our situation. It will hold onto energy it will advise us of a tune up. Sometimes we need an oil change. There are times when our battery needs to be changed or an engine needs to be rebuilt.
Through death we find renewal. Through death we find peace. What we have to look for in the coming days is our ability to push our body. Push it to the extreme and keep on going. We can push our body to create the very power to change the world. We have the very power to change our environment.
The cards are advising us to break down the limitations and barriers we have put up in front of our current self. Our body must be agile and full of dexterity. We must love our body and commit to some sort of healthy habits. Without the proper nutrients our body will surely self-destruct. Start with where you are at now. Decide to change one simple thing in your life that will aid your body in rejuvenation.

It doesn’t have to do with eating habits.
It can start with a positive thought regarding your body.
Regarding your lovely vessel that your spirit resides in.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
Aaron
